I have a new CD! I went to Target to buy Gnarls Barkley and couln't find the damn thing, so I bought Anna Nalick instead. I know what you're thinking: "how many times have I said I would never buy another album after only hearing one track" but I broke the rule. At first, I was thinking, "yeah, that's pretty much the only good song, but it's a great song" (Breathe: 2 AM) and "jeez, I didn't realize she really was a true pop artist". But after listening to it several times through (well, listening to the slow songs several times through, the rest of them I skipped faster than you can say Turn the Beat Around) I actually found several tracks that were worthy of owning. So, for those of you that enjoy some slow, slightly romantic but caustic music about what every song is about (love and/or losing love) I recommend most of the even tracks. "Wreck of the Day" (title track) is a great song, and my favorite is "In My Head" (kind of Cranberrie-esque), but pretty much 4,6,8, and 10 are worth a listen. So ha! My theory was busted.

I did the exact same thing with Anna's album late last fall! Well, I read one review of the album that was quite good (it said something to the effect of being pleasantly surprised because she actually had something to say in her lyrics). Sure enough! I love the ones you mentioned, plus Paper Bag and Consider This.

I got the Gnarls Barkley CD...D said it was pretty good, and I knew a few of their songs besides Crazy (thanks, Myspace!), so I got it. I like it.
