Autumn:  Autumn 1995 took the form of a web browser pointed at the address www.oblivion.net, an apparent reference to the pivotal independent film Living in Oblivion that had recently come out.  (Web browsers, as well, had only recently come out with Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer being new on the scene.)

Buttons read "Back", "Forward", "Home", "Reload", "Point", "Focus", "Zoom", "Shoot", and "Stop", mixing web and camera terminology terms.

An eye icon in the corner seemed to indicate concern over being spied upon via the World Wide Web.

Additional buttons on the second column read "What's New?", "What's Cool?", "What Sucks?", "What Sucks 2", "Escape", and "Hack Here".

Apparently we weren't thrilled with the content of the web so far and saw the need for some active change.

There are several images within the web page being viewed.  We see apes sitting in a theater watching a movie with three separate images.

The first image appears to be that of a movie being made, another Living in Oblivion reference.

Next, we have what appears to be the monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey, which ties in nicely with the apes who are watching.

However, viewed under an ultraviolet light, the face of Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead can be seen within the black rectangle.  (Garcia had recently passed away.)

The third image shows a bulldozer about to knock over a radio transmitter.  The visible radio waves indicate that the tower is still broadcasting.

This is a reference to troubles at the Pacifica Radio Network, which WBAI was a member of.  The name "Scott" is on the side of the bulldozer, a reference to Pat Scott, the executive director of Pacifica, who had recently cut staff and programming at Pacifica station KPFA in Berkeley, California.

The "F.R." in the background stood for "Free Radio."  There was a pirate station known as Free Radio Berkeley that had popped up recently which embodied the spirit that seemed to have been forgotten at Pacifica.

One of the apes watching the screen has a club with ISDN written on it.

Throughout 1995, we were battling to get ISDN installed through NYNEX and probably would have had more luck had we hired an ape to do it.

The mini-cover is an excerpt from a voicemail manual with a whole lot of commands that seem to mirror some of the buttons on the cover's web browser.
