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

We were down at the New Amsterdam, and we decided to pick our favourite 5 tracks from 'August and Everything After' and our fave five from 'This Desert Life' while mostly ignoring Recovering the Satellites with the utmost respect.  Facts, info, links and all the goss about Mr Duritz follow as we rekindle our love for these ol' birds.  

Slip into your wet suits and grab your oxygen tanks because this week we’re plunging straight into the middle of the deep blue 90s. We’re taking a deep dive into Radiohead’s sophomore album, The Bends. We’re not SULKing, we JUST love the BONES of this crybaby music masterpiece. Sink in with us, but be sure to not come up too fast, because y’know, the pressure!

'Little Earthquakes' rocked the scene back in 1992 when Tori emerged like a butterfly from her 80s past to reinvent herself and challenge piano music stereotypes.  We chat all the tracks, discuss her raw confessional style, her literal genius, Guns n' Roses and a Kurt connection.  

We step out of our 90s cocoon for a change, and give the Pearl Jam frontman's brand new album a first spin!  LOTS to unpack here: EV factoids at the ready, some super diverse collabs and 90s centric chat ahoy as we go through 'Earthling' track by track with some uplifting and very surprising results.

Hello pod fam!  We are taking a little break but in the meantime, here is a little bonus pod of future plans for our spanking new Volume 4 - and chat about up-coming gigs, polls, super bowls and cover bands.  Stay tuned!

We made another mixtape for ya!  It's round-up time as Volume 3 of our 90s music podcast draws to a close, and we go - as we always do - from A to X through the last series, nominating a track from each pod episode for the fabled Vol. 3 Mixtape!  There's a little bit of this and a little bit of that to suit all rock/grunge/rap/pop/metal/indie/soundtrack interests, with such 90s luminaries as The Black Crowes, Lemonheads, Pearl  Jam, Supergrass, Jane's Addiction, Hole, Fatboy Slim, Green Day, Alice in Chains and SO much more.

Well well, Weller!  The Modfather has gone the distance and broken fresh ground over many decades and several different genres. We go exploring Paul Weller's roots in The Jam and Style Council to his solo offerings including Wild Wood, Stanley Road and Heavy Soul from our fave decade, the 90s.  Also added - a dash of divorce, a pinch of Wham, and a smidge of Brit Pop influencing.

Love is in the air!  90s air to be exact... Lots of goodies here, as we go from covers of 80s bangers to more cheeky little numbers that might put a smile on your face.  Gett Off your Pony and ride this sucker to the end, it's The Cure to all your ills.

Ft. The Cure, REM, Prince, Ginuwine, Bloodhound Gang, Jellyfish, James Brown, Dinosaur Jr, Mazzy Star, Chris Cornell, Tricky, Sinead O'Connor

Welcome to the Unauthorized (authorized) Biography of Reinhold Messner (Ben Folds) - the 3rd studio album of that 3 piece North Carolina band called Ben Folds Five.  An 'all-grows-up album' filled with Regrets, Magic and Your Most Valuable Possession - similar to your subscription to SOMAGXP. We chat Ben's weird arrests, his 50,000 marriages and how his life tends to be like a Broadway musical he played in many moons ago.  Hand me my nose ring!
