Some might argue that Daft Punk was put on this earth to help us welcome our inevitable robot overlords. But delving into their musical trajectory and breakup, Daft Punk has shown us a surprising but topical reason from walking away from music -- the rise of AI. Learn more about their story, as well as our memories and stories connected to Daft Punk, including our experience of seeing them play at Las Vegas' now-defunct Vegoose musical festival in the Nevada desert.

The Butthole Surfers were known for their early outlandish shows, but (no pun intended) they're so much more than that. Homegrown in San Antonio, the Butthole Surfers broke social norms and broke the mold along the way. In this continuation of our '90s miniseries, hear their storied history (including how frontman Gibby Haynes incorporated his pet roach into shows), how "Pepper" came about, and how the now-classic music video came to star CHiPs star Erik Estrada. Hear us talk about seeing the band live, Gibby Haynes' unmatched showmanship, and how they still manage to captivate audiences.

In this ep, we also chat about '90s bands playing at San Antonio's famed oyster bake, including Everclear, P.O.D., and more.

The filming of the movie "The Crow" is filled with dark secrets, starting with a cryptic voicemail before the production began warning them not to go forward, lest "bad things happen." Tragically, Brandon Lee was killed on set, and other members of the cast were hurt and maimed. The soundtrack to the movie reflects and refracts the stark sadness and ennui of the film, and we talk about our memories of how both the soundtrack and movie shaped our lives. Filled with tracks from The Cure, Nine Inch Nails, Violent Femmes, Stone Temple Pilots, and more, the soundtrack provides a snapshot of the moment in time in 1994.

In this ep, we also share the winner of our merch contest, and talk about the joy of celebrating Willie Nelson's 90th birthday in his two-day show at the Hollywood Bowl.
