The Christian Rock Special

For this special Good Friday episode, join us as tour guide Quillen leads us through some of the most influential Christian rock albums of the 90s.  The boys reflect sincerely on the role of Christianity in their childhoods, get a little political but hopefully not too much, and laugh heartily.  Why you wanna censor us?

August 2, 1997: ”Fly” by Sugar Ray

Bleached hair, spiky tattoos, a lot of swears… this is the dangerous world of Robert Christgau’s favorite band of all time, Sugar Ray. If you’re gonna make a bad album, make it as interesting as this one!

July 26, 1997: ”Push” by Matchbox Twenty

I wonder what it's like to be the podcaster... I wonder what it's like to know that I made the podcast.  Join us as we discuss Rob Thomas & co with nuanced insights such as "I wanna fight him."  Let's get smooth!

June 28, 1997: ”The Impression That I Get” by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

It's SKA SZN, dear listeners. Join us on a journey of reflection and appreciation as we look back on the soaring, ripping ska craze of the summer of '97.

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.
