Jimmy Eat World Take The Freudian Route In The Worst Album Cover Of The Year Race

MEANWHILE, EARLIER TODAY AT THE IDOLATOR OFFICES:

Maura: Oh my god, this Jimmy Eat World cover.
Maura: VAGINA.
Jess: What?
Maura: It should be in your inbox.
Jess: Zounds.
Jess: THE EYE OF SAURON.
Maura: Uh, dude, it's a vag.
Maura: Anyway, is the indie rock poll ready?
Jess: Dude, what do you think everyone thought the Eye of Sauron really was?
Maura: I don't know!
Jess: Anyway yes, I told you about that.
Jess: About the indie post, I mean. Not about J.R.R. Tolkien's penchant for vagina imagery.
Maura: Oh, okay, sorry. I missed it because my eyes went loco after looking at that giant feathered vagina metaphor.

LATER:

Jess: The Jimmy Eat World thing is ready.
Maura: Oh no, my lack of Tolkien knowledge has been outed.
Maura: EVERYONE WILL KNOW HOW I FELL ASLEEP AT THE LORD OF THE RINGS MOVIE.

Wow, Maura, you're the Elaine Benes of Peter Jackson worship, and LOTR is your English Patient.

Oh yeah, and the JEW album cover is totally a vag.

The Eye of Sauron is a vagina? If only my vagina could find lost jewelry!

Eye of Sauron!? If someone had told me that the female vagina is actually a large optic enhancer/long distance telecommunications device, methinks I would have had more success with the ladies up to now.

Can I nominate this comment section for all-time-best status already?

Didn't XTC already do this with Apple Venus Vol. 1? And at least they had the decency to turn their vagina sideways, and make it less up-close.

Finally, they've matched vag-tastic imagaery with vag-tastic music. Kudos.

I must be pure of heart, mind and soul. All I saw was a peacock feather.

1. I only saw a feather as well
2. I think the Bluetones had a feather on their first album. Please don't consider that me outing myself as a Bluetones fan. Just Blue-curious back in 1997, if anything.
3. I fell asleep 20 minutes into Lord of the Rings and woke up two hours later thinking I had weathered the storm. Nope, still lightning and battles and horses and shit. But later found out my boyfriend had also copped a few winks during the "dialog and shit"

I realize that this post is old news by now, but I just wanted to invite everyone to Artie's Irish Pub on Saturday night, where my band, Giant Feathered Vagina Metaphor, will be playing from 9:15 - 9:23. Don't be late!
