TADANORI YOKOO WITH PROFESSOR MELISSA

Tadanori Yokoo is one of the best-known Japanese illustrators, painters, and graphic designers of post-war Japan. This episode features a very special guest– Professor of Japanese Art and Culture at Harvard University, and my sister, Melissa McCormick!

We discuss Yokoo's absurdist psych record covers from the '70s, including the album "Lotus" for Carlos Santana which holds the world 'record' for the most gatefolds!

Plus, lots of other-worldly weirdness and a snapshot of his origin story.
