Completely Conspicuous 635: Get Guilty

Part 1 of my conversation with guest Phil Stacey about the music of 2009.

Show notes:

• In 2009, Phil had a newborn and was expecting another
• We had a global pandemic in '09 (H1N1 swine flu)
• Biggest selling album in the world was by Susan Boyle
• Black Eyed Peas had a big year
• U2 had an album out, but didn't make much of an impression on us
• Phil's non-top 5s: The Dead Weather, Son Volt, Wilco, Jason Isbell, Dave Matthews Band, Pearl Jam, A.C. Newman, Titus Andronicus, Deer Tick 
• To smarm or not to smarm
• To be continued
