Dig Me Out - The 90's rock podcast

Our second requested review of Australia month is the self-titled 1995 album by Kim Salmon The Surrealists. By ‘95, Kim Salmon was already a legend in Australia, having fronted the influential 70s 80s punk band The Scientists, then The Beasts of Bourbon along with The Surrealists amongst other projects. This album finds Kim and his rhythm section exploring some familiar sounds as well as new territory. We split our opinion on this record, but not how you might think.Songs in this Episode:Intro - What’s Inside Your Box?2:29 - History of the Band7:40 - I Wish Upon You10:51 - What’s Inside Your Box?17:14 - Holocaust24:39 - Frantic RomanticOutro - Draggin’ Out The TruthFollow on Twitter / FacebookRequest A Review / Buy A T-Shirt

Before this month, we had reviewed thirteen albums from Australian bands in the 90s in the first four years of the podcast, but we still did’t have a good understanding of the overall history Australian music during that time. What were their influences? What were the scenes in the different cities like? What is Big Day Out? The Saints? The Scientists? To help us unlock the mysteries, we’re joined by frequent requester and friend of the show Gavid Reid, along with Dan Buhagiar, producer and writer at Double J radio. And check out Dan’s article on the 10 Australian Bands From the ‘90s Worth Revisiting. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Drugs by Ammonia 6:07 - (I’m) Stranded by The Saints 13:20 - Tomorrow by Silverchair 35:07 - Streets of Your Town by The Go-Betweens 41:34 - Shazam! by Spiderbait 52:18 - Don’t It Get You Down by Deadstar Outro - Railhead by Crow Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review / Buy A T-Shirt

To kick of our month-long visit to Australia, our first requested review for April is the 1993 album Together Alone by Crowded House.

Songs in this Episode: Intro - Distant Sun 3:47 - History of the Band 10:01 - Walking on the Spot 15:10 - Black and White Boy 20:31 - Nails in My Feet 24:48 - Private Universe Outro - In My Command Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review / Buy A T-Shirt

This week by request we're checking out the 1996 album Excerpts from a Love Circus by Lisa Germano. Working in a space filled with stark and occasionally dissonant sounds, the relaxed vocals combine darkness and humor in a way that caught us both off guard. While you won’t want to put this on your workout mix, we had a lot of fun (? I guess) discovering the world Lisa Germano inhabits on Excerpts. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Lovesick 3:36 - History of the Band 12:41 - A Beautiful Schizophrenic /“Where's Miamo-Tutti” by Dorothy 18:38 - Victoria's Secret/”Just a Bad Dream” by Miamo-Tutti 21:59 - Lovesick Outro - Bruises Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review / Buy A T-Shirt

Our requested review this week is unique - an album released exclusively with a comic book - we check out Absolute Zero by Null, packaged in December 1994 with the comic book Blank: The Encephalon Void #1. Since there is a good chance you haven’t heard this, we decided to go track-by-track through this album, which varied in styles and sounds from Ministry and Nine Inch Nails to Helmet and Queensryche, and lead us into a discussion about the current state and future of comic books in the digital format. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Severance 3:27 - History of the Band 8:29 - Terminal 15:28 - Numb 20:50 - Skarred 24:51 - Driven 31:27 - Critical Mass Outro - Rain Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review / Buy A T-Shirt
