The fact that Dylan borrows liberally from other artists has been well-documented. But yeah, the similarities between Dylan’s new release Modern Times and Luna’s Hedgehog are uncanny. This is probably because they both use the same image (Ted Croner’s 1947 photograph “Taxi, New York at Night.”) The designer of the Modern Times cover told Entertainment Weekly who told everybody else that he had never seen the Luna album before and Dylan’s people reportedly confirmed that they weren’t up on the image’s previous use. How bummed out are Luna? You know that for a second there they were allowing themselves to believe that Dylan knows who they are and was deliberately referencing them. Anyhow. We’re thinking this can’t be the first time something like this has happened? There just aren’t enough blurry street scene images out there to go around. Can you think of any other unlikely similarities between artist’s album covers?
