This song isn't too bad, but I don't have any fond memories of 2003.

Just tuned in -- it's another Bowie-friendly year and we're hearing New Killer Star, off of Reality. I expect we'll be hearing Bowie songs at every opportunity for several weeks at least. As it should be.


Followed by what sounds like Radiohead. And I gotta leave for a dentist appointment, so this is going to be about it for me today. Cheers!

Yup. I'll give Radiohead a BOS too. Already miles ahead of Coldplay.

BOS for "A Mighty Wind". Hilarious bit. And BOS for Jayhawks. They're great.

It's the end of REM as we know it. "Bad Day" isn't bad, but awfully familiar...

My kids and I love the Whatever song.

That was pretty fun, actually.

Just looked at the list on FB --not bad, tho' that "US of Whatever" song, tho' mercifully short, is really annoying and unnecessary at this point.

Aside from the Bowie, and possibly Radiohead (which I didn’t love, but props for being different) I didn’t find this set too thrilling. Everything else was pretty generic downtempo Triple A fodder, except for Liam Lynch which stopped being funny after the first time she played it. A lot of FFs too for a year we haven’t been to that much.
