Insomniaticism

I have already discovered many hidden messages in the new Aly and AJ album, Insomniatic, even though it doesn’t come out for a few months. (With some additional help after my intial headache from an anagram finder.)

AMNIOTIC SIN: A sequel of sorts to their imminent pro-abstinence anthem, “Plan A.” “How can I ever let you in?/ If you won’t cry, it doesn’t break the skin/ This amniotic sin?”

ANIMISTIC? NO!: Well, duh. (Also: Animist? Ic, NO!)

NIACIN IS OTM: A reference to Nick Jonas, little bro of former beau Joe. (Joe-Jo.) Niacin can help control blood glucose levels. (It's an “organic acid belonging to the vitamin B complex that is important in carbohydrate metabolism.”)

INACTIONISM: A controversial dogma most recently championed by John Mayer, and proof that, contrary to Bill Watterson’s skepticism, “So What!” is not too difficult a cry to rally around.

MOSAIC, INNIT?: Uh, very diverse production work, but coheres into a satisfying album.

ATOMIC, IN SIN: How will the world end?

I SANCTION ‘IM!: What do you do with a naughty dictator?

I SIN INTO M*A*C: THOUGH YE BE POPPIN, BE NOT VAINGLORIOUS (OR SOMETHING).

IS IT A CON, MAN?: Ah, the contradictions of faith! Every child has asked herself this question at least once or twice in her life. Conveys the angst, but probably ultimately decides on “no,” will be interesting if they entertain “yes,” though.

MINI-CANTOS I: The (semi-)ambitious first part in an ongoing series.

CAIT’S MINION: Who is Cait? A Biblical figure?

SIMIAN TONIC: Aly and AJ will cleanse our collective palate of the sour taste of evolutionary theory, especially as it’s taught in public schools (or so they’ve heard).

ANOINT MI! (SIC): A subtle pun. The anointing is self-explanatory, but MI is a crucial note in Aly and AJ’s repertoire—it’s what distinguishes the modality of their verses/choruses, turning a minor mood triumphantly major, or pulling rug from under you empowermentwise.
