Welcome to the inaugural episode of Deep Cuts, a short-form podcast that takes a look at one (or two) song(s) from a record that weren't singles and often weren't fan favorites but are hidden gems, found in the depths of great albums.

On this episode we dig in to two songs from U2's 1988 album Rattle & Hum -- "Hawkmoon 269" and "God Part II."

The Voices of a Generation X is a podcast dedicated to the music that defined and inspired a generation. Originally uploaded on August 28, 2017, this episode covers Bob Mould.

This week on The Voices of a Generation X we cover the career of Bob Mould. Starting with his work in the legendary punk band Husker Du, Mould has had a career that many would kill for by fist by being a pioneer in the American underground, forming the impressive Sugar, dipping his toes into electronic music, and finally a heroic return to form with three outstanding solo records. Bob Mould has influenced artists from the Pixies to Nirvana and provided a voice for those screaming alone in their rooms. As a generations, we couldn't ask for a better representative, inspiration, or voice than Bob Mould.
