I don’t think I own any 2003 albums.

I’m such a loser, I really need to stop living in the past.

Top five as of right now, though surely the order will change by year end even if nothing else cracks the top five (but expect certain things will):

1. Dump–A Grown-Ass Man
2. M. Ward–Transfiguration of Vincent
3. Cat Power–You Are Free
4. The Pernice Brothers–Yours, Mine & Ours
5. The Go-Betweens–Bright Yellow Bright Orange

Lightning Bolt was released this year. And it is fab-o road rage music.

Now if you had made a spreadsheet of all your cds listing band name, album name, year of release, and label, you could easily find this sort of information out.
