Episode No. 648 - It's Educational (And Other 90s Lies) This week is a great big ‘ole slice of 90s alternative rock pie. With a side order of 80s alternative and new wave because the 80s are always on the menu.

Episode No. 645 - The Punk, The Power & The Panic The title for this week's show perfectly nails what you are in store for.

Episode No. 640 - Post-Punk Grooves & Left-Field Beats There is something so satisfying about this episode. The first half falls under the post-punk umbrella yet all sound completely different. And sound perfect one after the other. Then the shift. The second half goes straight into the 90s: electronic, synth-pop, trip hop, alt rock. It seems like the two halves, the two sides are totally diff...

Episode No. 639 - Anthems For The Alternatives I’m always stoked with how the shows come together every week. When the tracks are in the set order and I listen back to the flow and it all clicks.

Episode No. 637 - The Punk, The Funk & The Underground Rock I didn't sit down and plan this weeks show around horns and saxophone. I didn't think I set out to build an episode around a specific sound or era. I just started pulling tracks that I wanted to play and that felt right together. Then somewhere along the way I realized what was happening. When punk went funk and rock found it's groove...
