This is an archive of The Clean Up Hour, which should air December 15, 2023 on CKMS 102.7. Tonight is the year's final ode to 2003. Would I take 2003's music over 2023's? As I lament, it's like being asked to live in two (pretty much) different worlds, even if the roots of the West's current culture wars and modern nerd culture were being planted. Do I miss 03? For sure. Would I relive it? Meh. But for what it's worth, there was plenty of great music in 03, and that's what matters most tonight.
