Dig Me Out - The 90's rock podcast

On episode #66, we're joined by author Frank Anthony Polito to review The Sundays 1992 album Blind. Frank's just released his third novel, Lost in the '90s, which is set in, you guessed it, the 1990s, making it perfect for our show. Frank suggested we revisit the critically-acclaimed but lesser known sophomore release from The Sundays, so we dive in and there is plenty to discuss - from Johnny Marr-influenced guitar lines to the deceptively dark lyrics wrapped in pop melodies.

On episode #64, we're back with another listener suggestion. Actually, it's a multiple listener suggestion episode - lots of folks have told us to revisit Hum's 1995 album You'd Prefer An Astronaut, and we aim to please. Tim knew he was going to struggle to be objective since Hum is one of his favorite bands of all time, so in order to avoid a blubbering gush-fest, we invited a special guest to help us review the album - director Shawn Foster. Check out Shawn's website for videos of his work with the Deftones, Drive-by Truckers, The Sun and more. There's plenty to talk about the unique Hum - their combination of metal, progressive rock and shoegaze with an space and science lyrical bent makes comparisons difficult, but we give it a shot. Shawn shares some directing experiences, including the infamous Zane's Sex Chronicles, his opportunity to fulfill all our wishes and punch Fred Durst, and somehow we end up tying it all up with The Muppets. Alcohol may have been consumed during this episode. WARNING: Plenty of salty language in this one. Earmuffs for the kids. Songs in this Episode: Intro - I'd Like Your Hair Long 23:02 - I'd Like Your Hair Long 25:59 - Little Dipper 35:11 - Suicide Machine 39:52 - Stars 49:42 - Stars Outro - The Pod Comment on this Episode | More Info More info on digmeoutpodcast.com Follow on Twitter Support the Podcast : Donate / Merchandise
