Sebadoh - Bake Sale

I've never (gulp) owned a sebadoh album. Although i was very much a fan of other lo-fi artists such as pavement, weezer, dinosaur jnr and yo la tengo, i never actually went out and bought a sebadoh album. I think it's because i was always put off by their album covers. They're by no means horrendous, but they just make me feel ill looking at them. I mean why is that baby looking in the toilet? has he just done a poo and now reaching in to touch it? worse, has someone else done a poo and he's reaching in to touch it. who puts a photo of their naked child on an album cover anyway? This is the album i should've owned, it's their most acclaimed and has most of the songs that i have heard or listened to when younger. It's also probably most in tune with the sound of Dinosaur Jnr, of which Sebadoh Bass player Lou Barlow was also a member. Songs like 'Not too amused' and 'Skull' showcase this perfectly. It's an album worth a listen, and good for reminiscing and at least now i don't have to look at the frigging baby on the cover whenever i want to play it.
