Completely Conspicuous 622: The Hardest Button to Button

Part 2 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about the music of 2003.

Show notes:

Phil's #5: Raucous debut from NYC's Yeah Yeah Yeahs, featuring the electric Karen O
Jay's #5: Radiohead combined electronic and guitar-driven sounds
Radiohead albums kept leaking early on file-sharing networks
Phil's #4: The Shins hone their super catchy pop sound
Jay's #4: An indie rock gem from the Wrens that still awaits a follow-up
20 years of starts, stops, indecision and disagreements
Phil's #3: My Morning Jacket combined indie rock, Southern rock, folk and jam band sounds
MP3 blog bands abound
Jay's #3: Another kickass release from Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Leo is one of the great unsung artists of our generation
Is Springsteen overrated?
Phil's #2: Drive-By Truckers add Jason Isbell and step up their game
Jay's #2: A departure for Sloan, but one jam-packed with great songs
The only Sloan album without an Andrew Scott song
Phil's #1: The White Stripes expand their sound and totally blow up
The Stripes made a lot of noise with minimal instrumentation
Jay's #1: Greg Dulli's Twilight Singers unleash a classic album as a tribute to late friend
Favorite songs: "The Hardest Button to Button" (Phil), "Teenage Wristband" (Jay)
