Media I Like This Cover Photograph

I wish it wasn’t covered by all the strange colored splashes and baroque type, but this is the best photograph of Thelonious Monk ever taken:
Check out the ragtime details! The guy in the back, shooting out the window! The rooster on the piano! The ghosting!
I’ve yet to really read the magazine, but it looks great and it came with a good CD, and it has an article in it about Daniel Johnston, with whom I will always be obsessed.
The Oxford American is the best. This year's movie issue features some of 2007's finest film writing (more info at www.oxfordamericanmag.com).
You might also enjoy Monk's album Underground.
