Ep. 11 - Kay Hanley from Letters To Cleo

Waterproof Records with Jacob Givens ·

2022/02/09

Somewhere around 1994, most of us found ourselves trying to decipher and sing-along to the rapid-fire chorus from vocalist Kay Hanley in "Here and Now" by Letters To Cleo. Decades later, I find myself fortunate enough to sit down with the Boston band's frontwoman on Waterproof Records to talk about her impressive career in music as a songwriter, performer, and the specific album that changed Kay's life for the better.

The soundtrack to the 1995 movie Angus is chock full of great bands like Weezer, Green Day, The Goo Goo Dolls and more. But if I was going to revisit this 90's soundtrack, I may as well sit down with Angus himself... actor Charlie Talbert! Charlie and I met almost a decade ago doing stand-up in L.A. and we've kept in touch over the years so I invited him on Waterproof Records!

Ep. 5 - Little Earthquakes

Waterproof Records with Jacob Givens ·

2021/09/06

Released in 1992, Little Earthquakes was the debut solo album from singer-songwriter Tori Amos, which turned out to be quite an impactful album for me as a young adolescent. With confessional poetry centered around controversial topics, this piano-driven masterpiece set the stage for female artists for decades to come.

Ep. 3 - Singles Soundtrack

Waterproof Records with Jacob Givens ·

2021/08/16

The 1992 Cameron Crowe film 'Singles' not only captured the energy of the Seattle scene during that era, but the movie soundtrack itself was a crucial grunge gateway for nineties teenagers. From musician cameos to made up demo tapes, the behind the scenes stories are what make this collection of songs even more incredible!
