Dig Me Out - The 90's rock podcast

With a new Placebo album out this month, we thought it would be the perfect time to revisit the breakthrough album from this confusing and confrontational UK act. Their sophomore release, Without You I'm Nothing, moves between wholly unique sounds like Pure Morning and Allergic, to songs that conjure memories of New Order and the Smashing Pumpkins, although with the very unique vocal style of lead singer Brian Molko. Is Placebo for everyone? Tune in to find out. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Pure Morning 3:33 - History of the Band 8:53 - You Don't Care About Us 18:09 - Allergic (To Thoughts of Mother Earth) Outro - Every You Every Me Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review

For his latest suggestion, friend-of-the-show Dirty Gert drops some shoegaze on us in the form of 1993's Blonder Tongue Audio Baton by Swirlies. Calling it "the greatest American shoegaze record" puts some high expectations on this album, but also raises a number of question, like actually defining "shoegaze."

For our latest episode, Tim makes a pick from his favorites-of-the-past archive: 1997's Good Feeling, the debut album by Travis. Combining the brit-pop guitar bombast of Oasis with the melodies and hooks of The Beatles and Kinks, topped off with stellar production thanks to Steve Lillywhite, Good Feeling failed to connect with audiences, something their sophomore release The Man Who did thanks to multiple hit singles. Hopefully Travis fans discovered Good Feeling on their own, if not, that's why we're here - to sing the praises of an overlooked gem. Songs in this Episode: Intro - Good Feeling 4:48 - History of the Band 13:04 - U16 Girls 17:42 - More Than Us 22:12 - Tied to the 90s 25:17 - The Line Is Fine Outro - All I Wanna Do Is Rock Follow on Twitter / Facebook Request A Review

This week Jason picks one of his favorites from North of the border, Vancouver's Moist and their 1994 debut album Silver. On the surface, the five-piece are a slightly alternative and mainstream radio-friendly band. But dig deeper, into the use of keys and organs, and a moodier and darker sound emerges. But does it go far enough to make is truly unique? Tune in to find out.
