Album of the Year 2006

...remarkably, it is not some devil-worshipping metal band! No, indeed, if any sort of deification is going on hereabouts, I daresay that the devil worships Miss Creager.

Truly, the album must be heard to be believed, but I can tell you this: Never has the combination of barbarism, bowling pin-ology, space travel, walls of flame, Polynesian voodoo and WMD been so beautifully and lovingly captured in song. She even covers Tom Petty's "American Girl" (and, in her remarkable creativity, actually credits him for his own work, unlike some people). Forsooth, get thee to yon webstore and order with haste!

In other news, I have decided to attend the Annual Spring Thaw Gala at the General and Mrs. Anderwart's palatial Rocky Mountain Estate. They are always rather free with the hard liquor, and Mrs. Anderwart is a truly a wizard on that mandolin of hers. There shall almost certainly be a number of virgins present. Hijinks will, no doubt, ensue.
