Jules’ Review of 2004
Incendiary’s favourite librarian sends you all a short note.
There was some fine albums released this year.

The Faint – Wet From Birth
It would be perfect music for those documentaries on satellite showing people from Ohio with surprising choices of haircut building cars out of rubbish.
