A small departure, if I may. The following is the list of my favorite albums released within the calendar year of 2003:

Blur -- Think Tank David Bowie -- Reality Belle & Sebastian -- Dear Catastrophe Waitress Elvis Costello -- North Natalie Merchant -- The House Carpenter's Daughter OutKast -- Speakerboxxx/The Love Below Rufus Wainwright -- Want One Lyle Lovett -- My Baby Don't Tolerate Steely Dan -- Everything Must Go

Lists mean nothing, but they're fun. Like the Book of Revelation. End communication.
