On episode #71, we tackle The Shape of Punk to Come: A Chimerical Bombation In 12 Bursts by Refused. Since it's original release in 1998, TSoPtC has been graced with accolades and fawning retrospectives - but is it deserved? Due the techno, beat poetry and jazz interludes sound fresh and exciting or gimmicky and contrived? Tune in to find out!

With The Dandy Warhols releasing a new album, we spend episode #67 revisiting their 1997 album The Dandy Warhols Come Down.

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2012/04/17

On episode #66, we're joined by author Frank Anthony Polito to review The Sundays 1992 album Blind. Frank's just released his third novel, Lost in the '90s, which is set in, you guessed it, the 1990s, making it perfect for our show. Frank suggested we revisit the critically-acclaimed but lesser known sophomore release from The Sundays, so we dive in and there is plenty to discuss - from Johnny Marr-influenced guitar lines to the deceptively dark lyrics wrapped in pop melodies.

Jon Solomon was kind enough to provide us with a digitally remastered version of Edsel's 1994 album Detroit Folly, released last year on his Comedy Minus One label. Not only that, he also hooked us up with Edsel's former singer & guitarist Sohrab Habibion, currently wielding his axe in Obits, for a Q & A.

2012/04/03

On episode #64, we're back with another listener suggestion. Actually, it's a multiple listener suggestion episode - lots of folks have told us to revisit Hum's 1995 album You'd Prefer An Astronaut, and we aim to please. Tim knew he was going to struggle to be objective since Hum is one of his favorite bands of all time, so in order to avoid a blubbering gush-fest, we invited a special guest to help us review the album - director Shawn Foster.

For episode #56, we dip into the category of "so good yet criminally overlooked," exploring the world of Satchel and their 1994 album EDC. Satchel seamlessly explore Alice In Chains riffing on one song and twisted Prince grooves on the very next. Joining us for the extensive track-by-track review is Satchel frontman Shawn Smith, who gives us insight on songwriting, dealing with a major label in the '90s, and how those Reservoir Dogs samples ended up on the album.

#055: Happens Twice by Hoarse

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2012/01/31

For episode #55, we're back with another pick by Jason. This time it's Hoarse, and their 1997 album Happens Twice. Featuring former members of Sponge, Hoarse takes a decidedly different approach, drawing on punk, power pop and even a little pop metal. Does Hoarse deserve to be slotted with fellow '90s rockers like Superdrag and Watershed, or are they dog food (yes, that was a stretch for an analogy that doesn't entirely make sense).
