Homer Buddha, “Mmmmm.  Enlightenment.”

The kidrobot x the Simpsons toy collaboration continues with the new 7-inch vinyl Homer Buddha. This standalone, zen-like Homer inspired by “Goo Goo Gai Pan” (Season 16, Episode 12), comes packaged in a white and red box parodying a Chinese take-out food container.

“With a pretzel in one hand, and beads in another, Homer passes down the oral tradition of donut eating…” —kidrobot blog

Homer Buddha, peacefully sitting on top of “giant fried dough topped with pink frosting and rainbow jimmies,” will be available starting September 6th, 2012.

Record Sleeves arranged by color and photographed by George Benson

“…The series purely looks at the colour of the record sleeves grouping music by colour alone, mixing rich cross genres of sound together. The unseen collection of music, avoids the need to name or identify to influence or be known. Instead the photographs create a rhythm of colour, light and shade that resonates with its musical content.”
—George Benson on “Colour of Music” series
