Radio Rebels

It's the best year in modern history, so we decided to go down a path we haven't explored before. Massive Attack's album, Blue Lines, is credited as being one of the first of the Trip Hop genre. We thought it was the perfect place to start when listening to an unfamiliar genre of music. So join us as we continue on this musical adventure and explore the world of Trip Hop!

This week, Ruby's album pick took us on a fun little journey through Anais Mitchell's Hadestown. Though it was a popular album in 2010, we are hearing it for the first time and have some...thoughts about it. Join us as we take a detour to this concept album that tells the story of Orpheus and Eurydice.

Anyone that knows anything about Green Day knows that there's a constant debate on who they are as a band pre American Idiot vs. post American Idiot. Ruby and Britney are pretty strongly in the pre American Idiot camp and listen to their early work quite a bit. So join us this week as we challenge ourselves to listen to 21st Century Breakdown and decide if we were right or if we were maybe being just a smidge too judgmental.

Would we have done the 80s justice if we didn't take a minute to listen to some hard rock? Yeah, we didn't think so either. Join us this week to see if we continue to grow our love of the genre or if this German band misses the mark.

If you were here for our Genesis episode back in 1973, then you know that Ruby and Britney are big Tarzan/Phil Collins fans. This week is their first dive into his solo work along with a quick detour into some fascinating history fun facts. So join us to finally find out if we love Phil Collins or if we actually just really like the Tarzan soundtrack.

For some reason on this musical adventure, both Ruby and Britney have decided that country albums have turned into a musical palette cleanser. After a few weeks of heavier albums, we took a hot minute to check out Zac Brown Band and their contribution to Country sound in the aughts. Let's see if The Foundation is a simple palette cleanser or an album that sticks with us further into this adventure.

Britney has never listened to Jane's Addiction in her life, so what better place to start than with their debut album, Nothing's Shocking? Join us this week as we take some time to listen to this influential album, learn about all the rock star boy drama, and why it's considered a catalyst for 90s alt rock.

It's a Femininomenon! Actually, it's another special edition episode. Britney has been obsessed with Chappell Roan since late 2023 and she's hoping to bring Ruby in on it. Join us and get ready to be HOT TO GO for this quick musical detour!

We're back with another contemporary challenge! This week, we take a detour into the world of cinema and the movie scores that help tell the story. Be prepared for a double feature as we review the film and talk about the power of a movie score with Robbie Robertson's work on Killers of the Flower Moon.

It's Y2K baby! And we're bringing in the millennium with P!nk's Can't Take Me Home. We know modern P!nk, but what did her early R&B days sound like? Join us this week as we explore her first album post girl group and see if she held her own in this genre or if she was set up for failure.
