I've heard of food and wine pairings, but with these edible album covers, you'll get a sweet dose of Trent Reznor to go along with your rice.
Bento box designs run the gamut, featuring virtually anything from video game characters to cuddly animals, but it's only now that one Japanese blogger got the creative idea to recreate his favorite album covers into delectable dishes. Pictured here are bento creations of Radiohead's 'Kid A,' Aphex Twins' 'Richard D. James Album,' Pearl Jam's 'Songs for Japan,' Trent Reznor's 'The Social Network Soundtrack,' and several others. I'm most impressed with the excellent use of seaweed to emulate shadows and clever cheese placement to define skin tones.
Judging from the album covers in this edible album covers collection, I would like to give the metal salute to the Japanese blogger who crafted these lunch boxes and tell him to "Rock on, bento-style."
