I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=commoditiesoftheabstractsort.wordpress.com&blog=789111&post=217&subd=commoditiesoftheabstractsort&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ 

I can&#8217;t tell you how excited I was to see this album sitting on the shelf last week at the station after a thoroughly frustrating day full of broken computers and broken dreams of seeing Barrack Obama.

And back-up singers!
