'93 - '94: A Music Podcast

Dan loves Pearl Jam and especially the 1993 album Vs ! He and Travis hadn't really spoken in a couple decades or so but he came on the show to catch up and talk all about this classic album!

Something old friends Travis and Christian Herominski have always had in common is a love of punk rock. Something they never had in common was a mutual appreciation for the band Green Day... until now! Christian came onto the show to talk 1994's Dookie and to teach Travis a thing or two. Unfortunately, there was also a beer or two involved and somehow one of the audio files was lost. We made d...

One of the most important albums of the year 1993 was undeniably Wu-Tang Clan's Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) and fortunately Travis's old friend Brian Matteson has graciously come onto the show to talk about the album and to help fill the many gaps in Travis's limited knowledge of hip hop.

The often alluded to older brother Judd makes his first appearance on the podcast! And there is no better band for Judd and Travis to get into together than Bad Religion. They discuss the 1993 album Recipe for Hate and get into the weeds of their personal punk inflluences.

Pearl is a former student and she came onto the show to catch up and talk about the impact that the band Hole has had on her life. Join us as we discuss the album Live Through This and what Courtney Love lived through when the album came out.

Travis's old buddy Brad Carroll, a musician who has released many albums under the moniker El Beezaire, was heavily influenced by Nirvana as a band and the album MTV Unplugged in New York even more specifically. He joins the show to talk about the album's impact on his life and some of the old times he and Travis shared while living in Florida.

Morgan Peak is a man who knows his way around a jangly guitar riff, and the 1994 Jawbox album For Your Own Special Sweetheart was an early and positive influence for him. He is an old friend and bandmate of Travis's and together they discuss this album that had such a profound impact on both their lives.

Dave Horning is one of the people I've known longest in my life and he has always been the biggest Tool fan I've known, as well. I'm really happy he came onto the show to discuss their 1993 classic album Undertow. Dave and I get into the nitty gritty of the album's lyrics, the band's mythos, and the seemingly endless rumors surrounding both.

Derek Fern is an upstanding man with upstanding taste, so naturally he loves the 1994 album Betty from the band Helmet. He was nice enough to come onto the show and talk about this often overlooked classic album. He's always loved chunky guitar riffs, and this album is one of the roots of his obsession.

Dinosaur Jr mega-fan Dustin Lince was kind enough to come onto the show to talk about hands-down one of the greatest albums of all time, period. We geek out over the classic album Where You Been and have a good time doing it.

Adam Thomas brings his love and knowledge for R.E.M. and their 1994 album Monster onto this week's episode, and it was such a pleasure to chat with him. Thanks for listening!

Ya can't talk 1993 in music without talking Smashing Pumpkins' Siamese Dream , and I can't talk Smashing Pumpkins without involving my friend Eron Worley. He was kind enough to come on and talk about one of his all-time favorite albums by one of his all-time favorite bands.

For the first episode, Travis is joined by Chris Deary of the Pallazzo Podcast to discuss one of the granddaddies of 1994, Pavement's monumental Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain !
