Looking Back
October 2003
Episode date - October 9, 2013
Although I seem to spend most of my time reminiscing about older music, it’s nice to take a look back at more recent times to see if things have changed all that much for better or worse.
This show focuses on a myriad collection of album tracks, all released around October 2003, and therefore, now ten years old. Besides noting how quickly a decade can pass us by, these songs a now struggling for relevance in a marketplace that has been quick to dismiss most pop music from the past decade. So, let’s listen to these tracks and determine for ourselves if they stand a chance in our future, or if it is time to move on.
Featured tracks include;
Bowtie – Outkast (‘Speakerboxxx/The Love Below’)
Roses – Outkast (‘Speakerboxxx/The Love Below’)
I Don’t Know What It Is- Rufus Wainwright (‘Want One’)
New Killer Star- David Bowie (‘Reality’)
Mahgeeta – My Morning Jacket (‘It Still Moves’)
Billy Liar – The Decemberists (‘Her Majesty’)
The Chimbley Sweep – The Decemberists (‘Her Majesty’)
Things – John Cale (‘HoboSapiens’)
Magritte – John Cale (‘HoboSapiens’)
Intro – Stronger Than Me- Amy Winehouse (‘Frank’)
