2003

December 30th, 2003

as lame as top ten lists are.... here's my stab at a "best of" for 2003:

#1. frank black and the catholics - show me your tears (sonic unyon)

and the rest, in no particular order...

the sights - got what we want (sympathy for the record industry)
broken social scene - you forgot it in people (arts & crafts)
soft canyon - broken spirit, i will mend your wings (alien8)
double pumpers - do it to it (independent)
tangiers - hot new spirits (sonic unyon)
led zeppelin - how the west was won (atlantic)
brian jonestown massacre - and this is our music (committee to keep music evil)
joel plaskett - truthfully truthfully (maple music)
candidates - fame, fortune and free drinks (independent)
elevator - darkness/light (teenage usa)
andrew vincent - i love the modern way (kelp)
bionic - deliverance (sound king)
stephen malkmus - pig lib (matador)
white stripes - elephant (v2)
deadly snakes - ode to joy (in the red)

here's to more good music in 2004...
