Duck and Cover would like to offer our proudest congratulations to site favorite photog Laura Musselman for some pretty awesome goings on in her career of late. As some of you may recall, we featured Laura's photos of Seattle rock happenings around a year or so ago. Since then she has continued to be one of the top documentarians of all things interesting and musical in the Puget Sound area.
While Seattle area musicians, publications, and other photographers have been cognizant of Laura's epic skills for some time, it would appear that that those outside of the cloud cover are beginning to take notice as well. In the past few days, Laura's photo of Tad Doyle fronting Soundgarden sans Chris Cornell has circulated all over the webernets, having been picked up for the front page of Stereogum, and for use with a feature on MTV.com.
We know that great things are on the horizon for one of our favorite people on the planet, and we couldn't be happier. Visit Laura at her home on the internet, and talk to her about ordering some prints now, while you can still afford them (which is likely not for that much longer; have you tried to get ahold of an Annie Leibovitz lately? Sheesh!).
As a side note, we can safely say that great things are not on the horizon for Chris Cornell if the latest video from his misguided foray into pop line dancing hip hop (ish) fusion with Timbaland is any indication. (What's that? Santana and Rob Thomas are on the phone? They want their song back?) Also, do they really line dance in Puerto Rico? I am somehow dubious.
