Tell Me All Your Thoughts On Pod

May 24, 1997: ”Semi-Charmed Life” by Third Eye Blind

Three right chords can make us cry. Three soaring, ripping chords.

The Tragic Kingdom Special

Get ready for a soaring, ripping special as we majestically soar to the Tragic Kingdom.  We discuss its monster singles and, as it turns out, divisive album tracks.  With guests Gwen Stefani, Meryl Streep, and Art Alexakis.

May 3, 1997: ”The Freshmen” by The Verve Pipe

Check in with Pawn Carelli, dodge that Ominous Man and bring your shoes full of rice to fellowship with the freshboys. This week all the bases will be covered regarding Villains. Will you be as surprised as 2/3 of the gang was by the album? Beware what lies ahead in the charts as the (Matchbox) 40 Horsemen of the Apocalypse are upon us.

April 12, 1997: ”Staring At The Sun” by U2

After predicting our shortest episode ever, we find surprising enthusiasm for our U2 Top 5's. This one's all about the clips! Plus chart talk about Matthew Sweet, Ben Folds Five, and Squirrel Nut Zippers.

March 8, 1997: ”One Headlight” by The Wallflowers

Our foray into middlebrow 1997 pop/rock continues with Jakob Dylan and an array of guest stars.  Al reflects on yet another sentimental favorite, while Trav and Quillen tutor him on which Offspring song is strictly taboo.  Chart talk includes Aerosmith and The Spice Girls.

March 1st, 1997: ”Lakini‘s Juice” by Live

The boys drink some Lakini's Juice, but when it comes to the rest of Live's album Secret Samadhi, Trav and Quillen taste seeds of Creed.  Al does his best to defend a childhood favorite that was generally seen as a letdown in 1997.  On the charts we visit Prodigy, Big Head Todd, Space, and White Town.

February 1, 1997: Discotheque

This - must - be: Pop! This week on the pod, the boys are talkin' U2 to you. Is their new evolution a hit? Listen to learn the actual correct pronunciation of the song title, then head into the Flood again, and finally, check the charts for Garbage.

(Corrected) January 4, 1997: #1 Crush

This episode was released earlier this morning with only Trav's audio.  This is the corrected version.

 

Don’t take that poison just yet, Romeo!  We’re not dead, we’ve just been sleeping.  Here we are with Garbage, Baz Luhrman, and some mild audio issues.  It’s 1997.

Hiatus Special: Cannonball

The boys go all in on The Breeders, including detours for Channel One and Ewoks.  Then a rare glimpse into 1993's Modern Rock charts, including Radiohead, Pumpkins, Cracker, Buffalo Tom, Ocean Blue and more.

Hiatus Special: Stay (I Missed You)

Hey, what do you want Travis to say???  It's not like he volunteered to do a podcast about 90s alternative radio.  It's time to go deep on TOP fave "Stay" by Lisa Loeb.  Plus some talk about Ida, Loeb's album Tails, and showing goodbye.
