Completely Conspicuous

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we present the first edition of the CompCon Awards. I've also got the Bonehead of the Week and music from Mudhoney, Frightened Rabbit, Marnie Stern and Telekinesis. Show notes: - Recorded via Skype while the Oscars telecast was on - Jay: Picking top albums of the 1970s was tough - The CompCon Awards are an alternative to the Grammys looking at different categories - First category: Best Band Name - Brian saw Trail of Dead back in the day - Best Sophomore Album - Bands like The Strokes have struggled to follow up strong debut - Nirvana's success both killed and launched a lot of terrible bands - Dave Grohl backlash - Pondering Weezer's decline - Graham Maby rules - Best Side 1 - Harking back to the heyday of vinyl - First Van Halen album had killer side 1 and 2 - Bowie had an incredible run of albums in the '70s - Best Side 2 - Other outstanding album sides - The Chili Peppers haven't aged well - To be continued - Bonehead of the Week Music:Mudhoney -
