my top 20 won't change most likely, but i will admit to being late to the Iron And Wine bandwagon. really really really digging his first album and the "sea and the rhythm" ep. i think 2003 was a great year for music, i still am toying with the idea of making a unprecendented THIRD disc of Bort's Best Of 2003.

Mac OS 8.6, dammit.

Now I'm sure I voted Melt Banana as my number one album in last years poll and it's not even on the list!

123. MELT BANANA - CELL-SCAPE

i'm not sure what my top 20 was last year, but off the top of my head, i know that muse.absolution and jim guthrie.now, more than ever would knock 2 out of it.

This requires too much thinking for me on a Monday.

did Nada Surf "Let Go" come out in '02 or '03?

don't have my list in front of me, but i'm pretty sure the stills and belle & sebastian woulda made last year's top 20 if i had 'em... maybe josh rouse and jay-z too

Top 10 albums of 2003
01. The Meadowlands - The Wrens
02. Prefuse 73 - One Word Extinguisher/Outtakes
03. Exploding Hearts - Guitar Romantic
04. Belle and Sebastian - Dear Catastrophe Waitress
05. M83 - Dead Cities,
06. Magnolia Electric Company (Songs:Ohia)
07. Jay-Z - the Black Album
08. The Constantines - Shine A Light
09. Postal Service - Give Up
10. The Microphones - Mount Eerie
-------------------

well, i lost interest in mount eerie, the constantines was more of a "woah" album around the time i compiled the list...but, i pretty much stand by that.

i'd probably bump Lightning Bolt and Ted Leo up into the Top 10.

KPH

1. SUFJAN STEVENS - GREETINGS FROM MICHIGAN THE GREAT LAKE STATE
2. VIJAY IYER & MIKE LADD - IN WHAT LANGUAGE? (sorry, I know this wan't on the list)

20. BROADCAST - HAHA SOUND


Sufjan Stevens, Vijay Iyer & Mike Ladd, M. Ward, King Geedorah, and Fog are all new additions to my list.

I'm not actually sure what I think of those Manitoba and Broadcast albums, but I'm pretty sure I like them more than The Unicorns, The Microphones, and several others that were on my list last year.

I'm listening Meadowlands right now. It's still good.

Woo! 123! I didn't bother checking the top 150 because I thought I'd be the only person that voted for it.

I think my list looked something like this:

197. TRIBALISTAS - TRIBALISTAS (5)
250. TONY ALLEN - HOMECOOKING (4)
126. RICHARD THOMPSON - OLD KIT BAG (

231. NEW WET KOJAK - THIS IS THE GLAMOROUS (4)
493. TORA TORA TORRANCE - A CYNIC'S NIGHTMARE (1)

Still looks mostly right but a few from the bottom might be bumped by:

308. OTTO - SEM GRAVIDADE (3)
224. JAY FARRAR - TERROIR BLUES (4)
89. MADLIB - SHADES OF BLUE (13)
JAIR OLIVEIRA - 3.0
