  • 3. Stone Temple Pilots: Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, with John Mosloskie

    Is this the best STP album? Is it the statement with which they stepped out of the shadow of grunge bands like Pearl Jam? Does this album title mean anything? Who would play the band members in a biopic? Did Aerosmith really call a record "Big Ones"?

    Host Jason Bemis Lawrence and his guest John Mosloskie (guttersparrow.com) discuss the 3rd STP studio album Tiny Music... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, their memories of listening to it when it came out, and how it holds up for them now.

  • 2. Silverchair: Frogstomp, with Peter M. Murray

    Was the main allure of Silverchair's debut album the fact that they were 15 years old when they made it? How does the music hold up now that we're all older and even more aware of the music they were influenced by. Should we be listening to the lyrics of a 15 year old? Was their producer listening to the lyrics?

    Host Jason Bemis Lawrence and his guest Peter M. Murray (petermmurray.com/) discuss their memories of listening to Silverchair's debut album Frogstomp when it came out in 1995, and their experience listening to it again 25 years later.

    Peter M. Murray is a composer, producer, engineer, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He releases a variety of music under his own name and was a founding member of the band John Heart Jackie.
