Here's one that Melissa knew Bryan would know...even if it took him a minute to re-remember. This episode Melissa brings the indie rock with the lovely melodic guitars and vocals of Sebadoh. Melissa is focusing on their 1991 album, "Sebadoh III". Melissa and Bryan came to this band from differnt angles but both truely enjoy what Sebadoh has to offer. Bryan connects to the spine tingling guitar hooks and Melissa to the low-fi noise production and heart warming lyrics. But they come together on the melodies and just the all around 4-track weirdness and rocking of Sebadoh's sound. This week the mix is actually just the whole album, "Sebadoh III" please enjoy our chat and check out the whole album and go buy it at a store for christ sake!!

We are deeply saddened with the passing of Sinead O'Connor. To remember her we are re-releasing the episode we put out in February 2021 when Melissa professed her true love for Sinead and talked about some of the lesser known, but certainly not lesser sounding songs.

Remember Sinead, listen to her beutiful music, and know that she will be loved forever.  Sinead O'Connor Mix on YouTube Music Sinead O'Connor Mix on Spotify

I guess we are back on a roll..this week back in the 1991 pocket with the band Chapterhouse and their stone cold classic record "Whirlpool". Melissa decided after the epic Dead Can Dance episode to hone this one in a bit and just focus on one record from this band that she loves. Even if you have never heard of Chapterhouse you have heard their influence on 90's era "alt-rock" and hiphop. Check it out it'll only take you an hour this time and you might just get up off your duff and shake it a little bit!! This weeks's Chapterhouse "Whirlpool" mix is no really a mix but rather the whole album plus a couple tracks demonstrating the two separate releases and the quality difference on the tracks. Listen to the episode to hear what we are talking about.  We suggest you listen to the YouTube music playlist as that has the tracks Melissa uploaded from her copy of Whirlpool.
