Society Owes Me A Gen-X Podcast: The 90s

In our final episode of 2022, we go from A to X through our Volume 4 episodes to choose just the right track from each for our epic Vol. 4 Mixtape!  Only the finest 90s Rock, Pop, Metal, Rap, Hip Hop and Indie including Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, Tori Amos, Pearl Jam.  And Rammstein.  Get it while it's hot!

W is the letter, and what a whole lot of Brit 90s music we fit into this ep!  The Wonder Stuff make their debut on the pod, as well as Travis and 'The Man Who', Pavement's 'Terror Twilight', Oasis and The Connells - Celtic influenced indie-rock at it's finest.  Sláinte!

In part 3 of our Viper odyssey, we revisit the West Hollywood hang that welcomes the Indie Rock pack in the shape of Mansun, Feeder and Buckcherry as well as the old S. Pumpkins and Surf Guitar pioneer, Dick Dale.  Sheryl Crow makes a semi-welcome cameo, and we rate Gavin Rossdale on a scale of 1 to Absolute T*t.  

Hannah and Lily have a 'ghouls night in' with some 90s rockers and film makers who are known as the darkest dudes in 90s culture. It's a monster mash up of 2 epic tracks and all of their frighteningly good covers.  Nick Cave!  The Twin Peaks guy!  Marilyn Manson!  Keanu!  William P. Corgan!  Courtney Love!  Nina Simone?  Indeed.  Happy Halloween!

Here's part two of that famous Hollywood play-den of the rich and famous with the very best soundtrack!  We're well into the 90s at this point and loads of Brits fill the bill this episode, from Manchester to Scotland to good old Brizzle.  It's all happening down at The Viper Room.

Featuring Oasis, Garbage, Tricky, Echo and the Bunnymen, Motorhead, and Eels among others!

Welcome to the legendary Viper Room of Sunset Strip, West Hollywood!  Many  a rocker/starlet/model/performer passed this way back in the 90s and we are here to tell the tale.  There's a line out front and Iggy's on stage - Duritz is slinging shots, and The Man in Black is quoting movies... Lines, lines - lines everywhere... It doesn't get more Rock n' Roll than this gaff - cheesy Aussie soap actors notwithstanding.  There's always one.

We chat this blinder from 1992, where (nearly) everyone wears hats and Pearl Jam manage to provide an epic live masterpiece, despite being on stools.  We delve into the Unplugged history, school discos, philanthropy and interesting tour stops for our faves who continue to be bosses even after 30 years.  Wooah, oh... ohhh oh!  

It's 1990, and this epic album is both therapy and tribute for Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell and an embryonic 21st century Pearl Jam trying to process the shocking loss of Mother Love Bone songwriter and vocalist extraordinaire, Andy Wood.  We chat the back story through the lens of documentaries, folklore and sound bites from the people who knew him best and loved him most.  L'Andrew, we salute you.

The ACTUAL Greek legend of Pearl Jam Ten Club was kind enough to chat with us while we were in Prague, A.K.A. 'Collectively Gutted in Czech Republic'.  Ever wanted to know how he got into PJ, what his fave live tracks are, how many gigs he has attended?  How 'Ghost' came to be dedicated to him in Jacksonville, FL in 2016?  We have the answers! When life gives you lemons, listen to Dimitris talk about the best band ever.
