also, my first anticipatory musical moment of 2004 has been identified. you know, that point in that song that you're REALLY listening to it for. i'll preface this by establishing my indie street cred before utterly dismantling it by informing you that my last two cd purchases were the elected's me first and sufjan stevens' greetings from michigan, which, by the way, are way cute. BUT, the moment is 2 minutes and 40 seconds into britney spears' toxic, after the bridge, when that insanely catchy jangle underlying the whole track, comes back front and center.

oh, and karen o wants to be chrissie hynde so bad she can taste it. i mean, i love karen and all, but chrissie's got brass in pocket, ok, hello.
