Missing but sorely wanted physical presence:
--------------------------------------------
1) Robbie Rist: heard the teasers, but need the real deal.
2) CvS: almost here...
3) Art Garfunkel: another one with producer Billy Mann. Simon
    has terminal writer's block & can't sing - give it up Art.
4) Sundowners, Ashes, Arbors, Alzo, Jaynets - reissues needed

Favorite 2004 delivered goods:
------------------------------
Susan Cowsill - Just Believe It  (I do!)
Lolas - Something You Oughta Know  (I know now ;>)
Dotted Line - S/T  (Semantics of 2005) (* borrowed copy)
Towa Tei - Motivation Songs for Make-Up (sucker for his mixes)
Louis Philippe - The Wonder of It All (just arrived but already a hit)
Brian Wilson, et. al. - Smile
Jill Scott - Beautifully Human  \__(M/F sides of 70's soul revisted)
   Van Hunt - S/T                /
Jason Falkner - Bliss Descending (short is great)
Well Wishers - 24/7 (less shoes, more mod)

Eh...:
------
Finn Brothers - Everyone Is Here (Froom shoulda stirred it up)
Magic Christian - S/T (~ half great)
Candy Butchers - Hang On Mike (Viola, great songwriter who
  desperately needs a producer to pick his best)
