Wilson and Alroy's Record Reviews We listen to the lousy records so you won't have to.

Year In Review: 2004

What a weird year... About a million artists told us they were anti-Bush (a band I've opposed for ten years now). Michael Moore played Ray Charles in a surprise hit film. Janet Jackson went to the World Series with Ben Affleck, while John Kerry was humbled by a steroid scandal. Or was it the other way around? And Ol' Dirty Bastard and Rick James Bitch died from cocaine overdoses. (DBW)

Records

Fourth year in a row with no perfect ratings... this is getting ridiculous.
