It's part 3 of my conversation with guest Jay Breitling as we discuss our favorite music of the year so far. Show notes: - Recorded at Clicky Clicky world HQ - Breitling's #6 - Changing his take on "Steve Miller Band for millennials" - Kumar's #6 - Band recently relocated to Nashville - Breitling's #4 - Another accomplished Boston indie rock act continues to evolve its sound - Kumar's #5 - Don't call it a comeback; fuzzy power pop from low-key indie rocker - Breitling's #3 - Reissue of mid-'90s release from San Jose hardcore trio - Definitely check out the reissue of Silkworm's In the West - Kumar's #3 - Scrappy pop punk from Toronto band - Breitling's #2 - Veteran act with inspired new release - Kumar's #2 and Breitling's #5 - Inspired by '80s riff rock - Breitling's #1 and Kumar's #4 - A triumph from a legendary rock god - Possibly as good as anything from his previous bands - Kumar's #1 - Out of left field for me, but a great sweeping folk pop record - Female solo artist who has come into her own - New albums coming from Titus Andronicus, Sleater-Kinney, Redd Kross, Purple Mountains, possibly Ava Luna Completely Conspicuous is available through the iTunes podcast directory.
