Check out her story which involves the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's; B-52's; and a bunch of intel into the Phi...
The music that captivates us is often an extention of oneself. In the 90s, that is exactly what Tori Amos was for our friend Sam. Who knew that a casual Saturday night watching SNL would blossom into a musical relationship for over 20 years? Tori Amos and many other ‘vocal brauds’ are raw and real. They speak, we listen. Now hear our friend Sam tell us why she likes “women who talk about stuff.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information....

We are back and diving in with a Hops story from the 90s involving Pearl Jam and her Dad. Part biography and part eulogy, this one gets a little personal. Get ready to take a look behind the curtain on this week's Tales from the Pit. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
There’s been a lot of talk about representation, in media especially. How does it affect a person to not have a figure to relate to? This week we talk to our friend Kevin about what it means to see someone like you, doing what you want to be doing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Meet Martha. An adorable human from Arizona who loves sad Indie Rock music, particularily any project that features Conor Oberst. To quote Martha, “if you are feeling sad and don’t know why… Conor is someone who can pick up on those nuances and explain the situation.” It’s always nice when someone gets you. Hosted on Acast.

Consider this how we do a clip show. It's outtakes from our recorded episodes with Emily, Evan, and Dan. We chat about closed venues, memory, and getting old. Oh, also Rainer Maria, Dillinger Escape Plan, Piebald, Candiria, and Kill the Man Who Questions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
On this episode we talk to our friend Evan. He enjoys 90s dance music, riding in sad cars, U2 and most importantly a little band called Jimmy Eat World. He shares his stories of traveling near and far (mostly far) to see said band. For most of us, traveling to see bands is a adventure all on its own. For Evan, that adventure is slightly more complicated due to him having Cerebral Palsy. CP may have made being in the pit slightly challenging, but that never stopped him from enjoying what he loves...
On this episode, our friend Dan takes us back in time through the wonderful world of the NYC hardcore scene in the mid-to-late 90s. The trip includes, but is not limited to, how Staten Island became populated, the madness that ‘was’ St Mark’s, proof that Coney Island High was a school for learning how to survive in less than stellar conditions, and that there is nothing better than a bacon, egg and cheese on a roll. So sit back, relax and enjoy the journey. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy...
