"Obnoxious lyrics!" Young Eliot just declared.

Oh, and pester Eliot while you're here and maybe, just maybe, he'll reveal his secret.

Decatur CD gets Best Used CD honors from Creative Loafing!

Amidst all the everything lately, we neglected to give a much-deserved shout-out to all our loyal, Creative-Loafing-reading homies out there who voted for Decatur CD. We're pleased to announce that we won the "Best Used CDs" category for the second year in a row! Thanks for that, y'all. Check out DCD on this page and the Best of Atlanta 2008 page here. Oh, and don't miss out on all the Loaf's hilariously inexplicable exit polls. We'll post one below to give you an idea (click to enlarge, of course):
