Evolution of an obsession with Badly Drawn Boy:

Step 1: Carrie buys "Songbook" by Nick Hornby for me for my birthday
Step 2: Hornby writes about music as if he's inside my head, only a more articulate version of me
Step 3: Hornby tells poignant story about "A Minor Incident" by Badly Drawn Boy and includes the song on the cd that comes with the book
Step 4: download every Badly Drawn Boy song you can find on Kazaa
Step 5: visit their website, be won over by their cute use of graphic design, order cd from the UK

The End.
