Part 2 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we look back at the music of 1997. Show notes: - Recorded via Skype - Bubbling under albums - Brian: Flaming Lips' Zaireeka was designed to have its 4 CDs listened to simultaneously - Sweet 75 was Krist Novoselic's side project - Brian gives thumbs down to Eyes Adrift, which had a song about Jonbenet Ramsey - Jay: Totally missed Superchunk's Indoor Living at the time - Different sounds from Cornershop, Portishead - Return to form for Cheap Trick - Brian: Aerosmith's Nine Lives had a few good songs - Brian: Deftones were the most interesting of the metal acts - McCartney's Flaming Pie is one of his last great albums - Jay: Decent but not great albums from Matthew Sweet, Rollins Band, Dino Jr. - GBV's Mag Earwhig was a strong release - BS: Dylan's current comeback started with Time Out of Mind - To a certain generation, pop punk is classic rock - Sleater-Kinney hasn't made a bad album - Jay's #5 will come up later - Brian's #5 - Primus has more of a straight-ahead rock sound on The Brown Album - To be continued Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
