I'm back and I'm miserable, because I can't get a paragraph into a review of one of my favorite albums this year. I'm not dropping names since I might pull it off eventually, but despite playing it over and over and over and over my usual ability to rant off a stream of observations and descriptions has failed me entirely. My fondness for the album may just be too personal in nature. It's like trying to review a security blanket. This extremely atypical writer's block is embarassing, disturbing and disappointing. The self-flagellation will cease once I get back into the swing of things.

Ok I'm not really miserable per se. I just wish I could give this album the review it deserves.

Proof I'm not really miserable: Anthony Is Wearing A Wig. I'll post a wider shot later (when more photos come my way, as they inevitably do), but what hipster do I look like most? Ryan Adams? Matthew Sweet? Paul Banks? Jarvis Cocker?

Al is, like, so into the Posies. I'm going to try very hard not to bring this up on Government Names.

Oh, and to answer WBS's confusion, any song that broke in 2004 in the USA counts for my singles list. Hence Mis-Teeq.
