I'm gonna throw Franz Ferdinand on that pile also. I just can't get this.

Gently used copy 4 Sale Cheap. Never been played the entire way through.

And for the record…I don't believe that 2004 is a such a down year. What makes it worse than 2003?

I think folks said the same thing at this point last year. The old adage about the good albums coming out in the latter half of the year seems to be holding true.

upcoming releases

Exactly - I can't remember being this excited for a bunch of records to come out (8/24 BOTH DBT & Twilight Singers. Coincidence? No way. Now *that's* a super Tuesday) I think by years-end I'll be pretty happy with what I've added.
