Welcome to SONICSPHERE Podcast, we're all about the music of Today and Yesterday! On this episode, Flannel Nation rocker Tayler Jaques stops by the studio for a few as we talk all about the 90s grunge music era, challenges with singing and playing guitar and being a lefty, going even smaller in an amp modeling world, guitar gear breakouts, and of course nerd out over Dragon*Con and Vikings while the elves get another point in our Gauntlet of Fire. This week we're covering all the music stories in the Platinum Viking's Epic New Hour that bamboozled and inflamed the internet from the nips that shut down the internet to this year's Blue Ridge Rock Festival debacle to nevermind the Nevermind Baby before we go to Julie's Old School of Rock N Roll Music History class with the birth of NBC, the origins of all our effects pedals, the unusual start of the Monkees and celebrating 30 years of Nevermind. We'll end the night at the Friendly Neighborhood Bar where we play with the new LEGO Fender Stratocaster set, listen to BabyMetal in Borderlands and find the top 10 of the most unusual Band Merch offerings to get your hands on.
