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

It’s Q week and Jazz hip hop (we got) for you. We quest back to 1990 and People’s Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm by Q-Tip, Phife Dawg, Ali Shaheed & Jarobi, aka A Tribe Called Quest.

Along the way we cross roads safely with SuperTed and visit The Sugarhill Gang, Native Tongues Collective Jungle Brothers, De La Soul and Monie Love, Carly Simon, Lou Reed & even Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch... So wipe your feet really good on the rhythm rug and come kick it with us because yes, you can.

It's No Good, we're a Jilted Generation who loves an Electronica-Punk band from Out of Space.  Charly Says you should have a listen, it's Fire.  One Love!  

SOMAGXP brings you One Hit Wonders of the 90s Part Deux! From Plumstead Riot Grrl Popstarts Shampoo to Tulsa Tween Trio Hanson via The One & Only Chezza Hawkes (remember when he pulled Republica’s Saffron into his massive telly?) plus the (not so?)

We delve into some corkers this week - from West End toffs putting out video game theme tunes, to baked potatoes being blamed for serious automobile accidents. Stuff your medium sized yogurt pot under your rubbish footballer hat, and let's go!  Anyone got any salmon?  Sorted.

Back in the 90s, Levi's were the classic and timeless denim that brought us some incredibly memorable adverts and some great music, too.  SOMAGXP take one for the team and go to the beach, the pool hall, the office, the depths of the ocean and some very nice swimming pools to get the inside scoop on the blues.

1993 movie 'Judgment Night' wasn't just a vehicle for Denis Leary, folks.  It also spawned a soundtrack album that paired top-drawer rock bands with their premo rap & hip hop counterparts.  These EPIC musical offspring are what we are chatting about this episode - Cypress Hill!  De La Soul!  Mudhoney! Run D.M.C!  Pearl Jam!  Many more!  Some proper 90s alt bangers, and all the recording and origin stories that go with them.
