as we stomp on the corpse of 2003

Kim and i went to sushi with The Boy for his birthday, and, as a former shunner of sushi, i must extol the virtue of maguro tataki. Spare me your "wasabi" and your vinegary rice and your sweet sauces... but pass the maguro. After dinner, Kim and i came home and drugged the dog (he's gunshy), and i put the half-bottle of 1997 Cordier (Flash) Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey Sauternes into the fridge. At midnight, we had some. The stuff is great, and it's a much better value than Château d'Yquem (but then, d'Yquem is d'Yquem).

2003 music

I considered listing my 10 best of 2003, but i only purchased 17 recordings that were published in 2003, and that ought to be endorsement enough. So here they all are, in alphabetical order:

Blue Man Group - The Complex
Tracy Bonham - Bee [EP]
Burden Brothers - Buried In Your Black Heart
Kristin Hersh - The Grotto
Jack Johnson - On and On
King Crimson - The Power to Believe
Patty Larkin - Red = Luck
Laughingstock - Underskin
Annie Lennox - Bare
Living Colour - Collideøscope
Dave Matthews - Some Devil
Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow
Pearl Jam - Lost Dogs
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
Throwing Muses - [untitled] Throwing Muses
Venus Hum - Big Beautiful Sky
We Followed Tigers - And Then We Were Killed... [EP]

Technically, i didn't purchase the WFT EP, but i think those boys deserve a fiver out of me.
