Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock

J and Tim dig into the grunge, alt-rock, and indie albums that changed everything—the forgotten classics, the underappreciated masterpieces, and the legends worth hearing again. One album at a time. Let’s dig it out.

#054: Mission: Control! by Burning Airlines

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2012/01/24

On episode #54 we review the 1999 album Mission: Control! from Burning Airlines. J Robbins may be better known for his years in Jawbox, but is it possible Mission: Control! is his best work? Blasphemy some might say (like those who prefer Jawbox), but we'll lay out the case. Give a listen, then leave a comment if you agree or disagree either on our website or on our Facebook page.

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2012/01/17

On episode #53 we go back down under thanks to our Australian correspondent Gavin and review the 1993 album Sound As Ever by You Am I. The award-winning three-piece is still going strong today, but we travel back in time to review their debut release. Does the freshman effort show promise? Is it an out of the gate masterpiece? Or an underachieving letdown? Tune in to find out, and then leave us a comment on our website or on our Facebook page. Segments - :00-3:47 - Intro, 3:47-8:45 - History of the

#052: Lula Divinia by Shiner

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2012/01/10

On episode #52 of Dig Me Out, we review the 1997 album Lula Divinia by Shiner. Lots tags are applied to Shiner - progressive, emo, alternative, angular, math rock, space rock - but all that really matters is the songs. So does Shiner deliver the goods? They've definitely got the musical chops, but is it at the expense of the vocals? Tune in and find out, then leave a comment on the website or chime in on our Facebook page.

#051: Fossil by Fossil

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2012/01/03

Dig Me Out is back for Season Two, and we return with a good, old-fashioned disagreement. In episode #51 we review the one and only album from Fossil, their 1995 eponymous release. J contends there are too many lame attempts at bad funk, Tim still thinks 'Moon' is one of the best college radio singles of the decade and it somehow devolves into a discussion on the disappointment of Live's post-Throwing Copper releases.

Season One of Dig Me Out is in the books! For the last episode of 2011, we're taking a look back at our freshman year and picking our top five favorite songs as well as our new album discovery. We've also got plenty of thank you's to dispense to those who made Season One better than we ever expected: Chip Midnight, Neal Schmitt, Keith Jenkins, Gavin R., Chel at I Hate the 90s, Orcen, Norman F., Shawn F., Bill L., Jon S., Scott C., Sondra J. and Gary H., Ruthie Morris of Magnapop and Ben London of

#049: Secaucus by The Wrens

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/12/20

On the penultimate episode of the first season of Dig Me Out, we tackle the 1996 album Secaucus by The Wrens. A sprawling 19-track album presents many challenges - can the band maintain quality from start to finish, while providing enough diversity to avoid getting repetitive? Neither of us were familiar with Secaucus, so how does it fair, and what does it mean when bands like Cursive, The Who, Guided By Voices, Spoon, The Living End, Men At Work and the Pixies all get referenced during the

#048 - Blind by Corrosion of Conformity

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/12/13

Beware episode #48, we're getting heavy. Jason wanted to tackle some metal, so we're reviewing the 1991 album Blind from Corrosion of Conformity. Like some sort of robotic transforming thing, there's more than meets the eye, or ear, when it comes to C.O.C. Sometimes the band sounds like the perfect touring companion for Metallica, sometimes for Soundgarden, and sometimes for Suicidal Tendencies. But does it all gel together?

On episode #47 we review the 1998 album In/Casino/Out by At The Drive-In. Combine a frantic rhythm section with complex guitars lines and vocal gymnastics, and you've scratched the surface of what makes ATDI special. We spend time on the post-ATDI bands, and debate who wins the Sparta vs. Mars Volta showdown, consider the influences of bands like Rage Against The Machine and Superchunk, and ponder Vince Vaughn's Christmas movie choices. Head on over to Facebook and join the conversation. Segments -

On episode #46 we review the lone release from The Grays, the 1994 album Ro Sham Bo. When you combine the talents of Jason Falkner and Jon Brion into one band, you'd expect something special. Does Ro Sham Bo deliver? Tune in to find out, and then join the discussion on Facebook.

2011/11/22

On episode #45, it's back to listener suggestions. This week we tackle the 1995 album Weasels by Alcohol Funnycar. Joining us for this episode is Chip Midnight, and he's got an interview with Alcohol Funnycar's Ben London. In our discussion, we try to determine if AFC's Weasels is the sound of '90s - a little punk, a little grunge, some melody and edginess, but pretty much just rock.

#044: Circa Now! by Rocket from the Crypt

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/11/15

One episode #44 we were supposed to be joined by label owner Bill Litfin of the now defunct Glazed Records to review the 1992 Rocket from the Crypt album Circa:Now! Bill couldn't make it, so we're left to our own devices to review what Jason calls the album that defines the sound of RFTC. With bombastic guitars and the distinctive vocals of John Reis, it's hard to pinpoint the influences and origins of RFTC. Voice your opinion on our Facebook page or Twitter feed.

#043: Teenage Symphonies to God by Velvet Crush

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/11/08

On episode #43 we review the Matthew Sweet co-produced 1994 album Teenage Symphonies to God by Velvet Crush. Neither of us were familiar with the band before hearing the album, but now we're firmly on board the Velvet Crush train. If you're a fan of '60s pop like The Byrds and Beatles, the '70s power pop of Cheap Trick, Big Star and the Raspberries and '90s alt rockers like Sweet and Teenage Fanclub, you'll want to check out this episode.

#042: Songs from the Second Storey by The God Machine

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/11/01

One episode #42 we're back with another listener suggestion - the 1993 album Songs from the Second Storey by The God Machine. This band took a long journey from SoCal to NYC to the UK, and it sounds like it. Hints of Kyuss-like stoner rock meld with British shoegaze and Jane's Addiction psychedelia. But is there too much of a good thing on the longest album we've ever reviewed? Tune in and find out. To comment, visit digmeoutpodcast.com for our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

#041: Fallout by The Mayfield Four

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/10/25

On episode #41 we review The Mayfield Four's 1998 album Fallout. There's no doubt that lead singer Myles Kennedy, like Matthew Bellamy of Muse or Jimmy Gnecco of Ours, owes a lot to Jeff Buckley. But does he meld the alt.rock sound of The Mayfield Four with Buckley's ethereal tenor? And what's with that Marvin Gaye cover?

On episode #40, Tim and J venture into the nebulous world known as Jawbreaker. Are they punk? Are the emo? Are they pre-emo? Are they post-punk? Who knows, but we try to figure that out and give a listen to their 1994 album 24 Hour Revenge Therapy. Visit digmeoutpodcast.com for links to our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

#039: Gimmick by Barkmarket

2011/10/11

For episode #39, we're joined again by guest Neal Schmitt to review a listener suggestion: Barkmarket's 1993 album Gimmick. It's noisy, loud, abrasive, aggressive, unrelenting and pretty damn good. If you're a fan of later Nine In Nails, the Jesus Lizard, Fugazi, Jawbox or the Deftones, we heard a little of each band in Gimmick. Give a listen and tell us if you agree.

2011/10/04

On episode #38 we're again joined by guest Neal Schmitt to review one of Tim's favorite all-time albums, 1991's Still Feel Gone from alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. There plenty to discuss on our first hour-long episode - the varied songwriting, lyrical and musical styles of co-lead singers/songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, and the drumming of Mike Heidorn are rich for review. The discussion leads to this question: has there been another band since Uncle Tupelo that produced a pair of

#037: Porno for Pyros by Porno for Pyros

Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock ·

2011/09/27

On episode #37 we tackle the 1993 self-titled Porno for Pyros album. J and Tim find a mixed bag with the first album from ex-Jane's Addiction members Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins. While the songs got shorter than your typical Jane's tune, the unique combination of funk, metal, world music and grunge collide to uneven results.

2011/09/20

On episode #36, it's another Ohio band. We've already tackled Sons of Elvis from Cleveland and Gaunt from Columbus. This time it's Dayton's Mink, and their 1998 album Get In Get Out, an album Tim and J both discovered back in 2000, but are happy to revisit and spread the word about Mink.
