In this week’s Catalog Dive episode, I’m joined by Robin Wilson, lead singer of Gin Blossoms, as we explore songs from across the band’s full discography—from chart-topping hits to deep-cut fan favorites.

We dive into the stories behind iconic tracks like “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You,” as well as underrated gems such as “Cheatin’” and “Memphis Time.” Robin shares how several songs evolved from their original versions on the band’s independent release Dusted to the polished, radio-ready hits featured on New Miserable Experience. He also reveals how a single photograph inspired the writing of “Allison Road.”

Our conversation covers the band’s experience recording a cover of KISS’ “Christine Sixteen” for the KISS My Ass: Classic KISS Regrooved compilation, and Robin’s take on how the 1995 film Empire Records compares to his own experience working in a record store for over a decade growing up. We also discuss the pressure Gin Blossoms faced from their label to deliver hits like “Til I Hear It From You” and “Follow You Down,” and the curious case of why their 2006 album Major Lodge Victory isn’t available on streaming platforms.

Whether you’re a lifelong fan or discovering the Gin Blossoms for the first time, this episode offers an in-depth look at the music, stories, and legacy behind one of the most influential bands of the '90s alternative rock scene.

This week, I’m joined by Zack Derby, co-host of Neatcast, as we curate a nostalgic playlist packed with our favorite 90s guilty pleasure songs. From "cheesy" pop hits to radio staples that critics dismissed, these tracks are the ones we unapologetically love—no matter what anyone says.

Much like the 80s Guilty Pleasures episode, it’s worth noting that neither of us actually feel guilty about any of these picks. We’re simply using the term “guilty pleasures” because it’s a relatable way to describe those songs that others might roll their eyes at—but we’ll crank up every time!
