In the September 17, 2003 issue of the Onion there is an interview with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes and Desaparecidos, two bands who share the Saddle Creek label with Rilo Kiley and Cursive. (Bright Eyes made the SHORTLIST 2003 along with Black Keys, Cat Power, Cody Chestnutt, Floetry, Interpol, Damien Rice, Sigur Ros, The Streets and Yeah Yeah Yeahs). In the Onion interview Conor tips the hat to the Smiths:

"The first music I ever got into was the '80s alternative bands that my brother listened to, like The Cure and The Smiths and R.E.M. and Fugazi. I can remember specifically saying The Cure was my favorite band back in second grade. Just because I thought my older brother was really cool."

  • The Irishman Damien Rice took the Short List prize this year. Bright Eyes made a good showing with a harangue against Clear Channel and also met with an irate attendee.
