I've really been enjoying Jake Leg on Blue Record by Baroness. According to wikipedia they are a "sludge metal" band, there are a whole lot of sub-genres in the metal world. I'm going to listen to the whole album on Lala to decide if I want to buy it. I love the cover (very Beardsley) but I'm avoiding looking at it more closely: I'm pretty sure I'm going to find revolting, rotty fish eyeballs and other disgusting stuff if I look at details. Right now, I just want to enjoy the pretty blue fish and naked ladies. I went on the hunt for the New Yorker article I remembered from a few years ago and was surprised to discover it was published in 2003. I'm going to re-read it tonight: Jake Leg by Dan Baum.
