About. A vinyl record eclipsing a black moon, circled by the words MAKE MUSIC NOT WAR.
History. Painted for the Relax Max apparel brand at 2902 12th Avenue South, on the side of the Epice building. The record stands in for the moon — music as the thing worth aiming at — and the slogan distilled the whole city’s worldview so cleanly that it’s been quoted on t-shirts, albums and about a million camera rolls since.
