Thanks to spiking metal prices caused by demand from China and India and a couple of smelting-factory shutdowns in Mexico you may not have heard about, the zinc inside a penny now costs .83 of a cent. (The U.S. got rid of almost all the expensive copper in 1982.) Add distribution and production costs, and you're up to 1.3 cents to make a penny, which freaks people out. That's because the U.S. Mint claims to make a profit, called seigniorage, on the difference between the cost of producing currency and its value. That, however, is stupid. Printing...

That got the crowd worked up even more...

It's not that these New Yorkers are incapable--they're just obstreperous, which makes the arrival of their first great rock album such a shock. They haven't rid themselves of their beloved guitar fuzz, but on songs like Reena and the sublime Jams Runs Free, the noise takes a backseat to focused songcraft and real, live hummable riffs. To top it off, Kim Gordon has emerged from her decade-long Nico-soundalike contest and is enunciating again. Calling...
