Word Magazine Maps Out Album Cover Shoot Locations

So this is pretty cool: Word Magazine has cobbled together a site allowing readers to drop a pin indicating the location where the cover art of an album was shot.  They call it the "Album Covers Map" (or maybe "Album Atlas" - it isn't clear) and it's a pretty cool concept.

The map appears to be in the early stages, though there are a lot of albums listed so far.  Still, the functionality is only so-so - at this point you don't get much more than the map with a pin & an info bubble with some generic Wikipedia text... Far more useful would be related info such as address/GPS coordinates, some back story on the photo, or at least the credentials of whomever is claiming to have identified the location. You'd think they'd at least drop an affiliate link to Amazon Music so that they can make a little money on the project! [update: now that I've browsed a bit more it appears that *some* albums have better info than others...]

That aside, this is a pretty cool use of Google Maps and it's very cool to be able to look for albums shot near you or somewhere you'll be traveling - should turn up some very useful location ideas.
