I Already Told You That

Insert "it's been awhile here"…but there is a reason! We moved and Melissa went to school for a bit so we've been a bit distracted. But we are not distracted with this return episode…which is a little long BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT! Melissa brings Bryan the band Medicine. Hailing from Los Angeles Medicine brings the noise-gaze as Melissa coined it. We go deep into their debut "Shot Forth Self Living" and follow up stone cold classic…"The Buried Life". Be sure to listen to both records all the way through after you hear our celebration of this great band.

This week Melissa brings us a real bummer of a band...Idaho, specifically their 1996 classic album "Three Sheets to The Wind". Melissa loves the pure slow and mellow tones of Idaho's songs. There are lots of hearts on this one and Bryan brings back the stone-cold-classic label for the song "Shame"! This is a great album that we love and we think you will too. Listen to the whole album below and check out the Idaho website to buy this album and all Idaho's albums.

This week Melissa brings the dream pop, slow core, and avant guardness, of Hugo Largo to Bryan who…as the podcast has revealed over the 5 years they've been doing it, has no idea who they are. BUT as usual Bryan is intrigued and so will you be by this dreamy mix of vocals, bass, stings and other instruments that together form the beautiful and unique sound that is Hugo Largo. Please use the link in our show notes to listen to and buy their music.

Welcome back and happy 2025! Melissa put in the work this week with the band Wade. She unearthed some old, as she calls them, "comp tapes" and re-rememberd one of her favorite bands. She discovered Wade through a 45 with hand written notes that connected Wade to Red House painters and once she gave it a listen she was hooked! Anyway, Melissa reached out to a member of the band who gave her some insight of how the band formed and all about their self-titled album "Wade". Please enjoy and please check out the mix and other music from Wade bass player and singer, Eve Bekker as well as Joe Goldring's other project, "Enablers".

This time around she is back in the good ol US- of-A AND she has friends, that she connected with through this podcast, who are also big fans of Slowdive! Together they took a pilgrmage to see the band together. Melissa chats with these friends that she connected with over a shared love of music. They discuss that love of music and finding people that also share that love of music through pen pals and friendship books.

Here's one that Melissa knew Bryan would know...even if it took him a minute to re-remember. This episode Melissa brings the indie rock with the lovely melodic guitars and vocals of Sebadoh. Melissa is focusing on their 1991 album, "Sebadoh III". Melissa and Bryan came to this band from differnt angles but both truely enjoy what Sebadoh has to offer. Bryan connects to the spine tingling guitar hooks and Melissa to the low-fi noise production and heart warming lyrics. But they come together on the melodies and just the all around 4-track weirdness and rocking of Sebadoh's sound. This week the mix is actually just the whole album, "Sebadoh III" please enjoy our chat and check out the whole album and go buy it at a store for christ sake!!
