Our old friend Brian Carter from a few episodes ago called back into the podcast this week for a late night conversation about the music we listened to as kids and teenagers and how it shaped us. Often during our normal phone calls we’ll drift into this topic and it seemed like it’d be a fun thing to record. We wanted to get into that age when you stop listening to the music your parents like and start getting into your own stuff. Near the end we transition into how the music we were into growing up affected the music we ended up making after high school.

Topics include: 80s pop/MTV, Amy Grant, New Kids on the Block, our 1st CDs, Kris Kross, Too $hort, Nirvana, Weezer, Sublime, soundtracks, Counting Crows, R.E.M., the local Christian punk scene around Fort Worth in the late 90s, the Cornerstone music festival and the music we ourselves made.

NOTE: Listening back to this I noticed we made some mistakes as far as release dates and I said Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump & Shawshank Redemption came out in 1993 and it was 1994! So sorry! It was very late when we talked! We don't know everything!! Anyway...

Thanks for listening. We hope this is as enjoyable for you as it was for us.
