Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock

On episode #69, we make a second trip to our adopted hometown of Columbus, Ohio to revisit an under-appreciated classic, Pretty Mighty Mighty's 1999 album Famous Past Lives. Lead singer/guitarist Jon Chinn joins us for this trip down memory lane back to when the band formed in college through their line-up changes, building (several) recording studios, surviving a house fire, scoring an unexpected radio hit and the dealing with the labels that came calling, along with an in-depth discussion on songwriting and recording.

As promised, here are some bonus clips with For Love Not Lisa guitarist Miles. Big thanks to Chip Midnight!

On episode #68, Chip Midnight returns with an album suggestion and interview to go along with it. We check out the 1993 album Merge by For Love Not Lisa, and Chip talks to guitarist Miles. Merge offers plenty of diversity, but is it too much of a good thing? We cover everything on this episode - how the wrong tours can frustrate a band, our first discussion of "Christian Rock" and it's development in the '90s, and a legendary guitarist showing up on a b-side track. As a bonus, we'll be posting clips from Chips interview that didn't make the episode this Thursday. Consider it an early Cinco de Mayo present.

With The Dandy Warhols releasing a new album, we spend episode #67 revisiting their 1997 album The Dandy Warhols Come Down. The Dandys bounce between '60s psychedelia, Velvet Underground drone, Neil Young guitar spasms, electronic rhythms and even some bouncy Britpop, but does it all work? Tune in to find out.

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 #65, we've got a packed house. Jon Solomon was kind enough to provide us with a digitally remastered version of Edsel's 1994 album Detroit Folly, released last year on his Comedy Minus One label. Not only that, he also hooked us up with Edsel's former singer & guitarist Sohrab Habibion, currently wielding his axe in Obits, for a Q & A. But that's not all, Chip Midnight is back and offering his take on an album. Got all that?

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.

On episode #63 it's listener suggestion time. We review Tuscadero's 1996 release The Pink Album, and we're not quite sure what to make of it. Are they punk, post-punk, pop, alternative? And why did we gravitate towards the lyrics? Questions abound, but do we find answers? Tune in to find out.

On episode #62 we're back with another listener review. This week it's the 1995 album Mephisto by Capsize 7. From Chapel Hill, North Carolina, the same scene that produced Archers of Loaf, Polvo and Superchunk, Capsize 7 has a lot to live up to when it comes to arguably the indie rock capital of the U.S. Can the lesser-known Capsize 7 hold their own?

On a super-sized episode #60, we're we're joined by guitarist Michael Barragan and (briefly) vocalist/bass player Michael Angelos of the Los Angeles band Plexi to revisit their lone full-length release, 1996's Cheer Up. The dark, atmospheric sound recalls bands as diverse as My Bloody Valentine and New Order, but with punk energy and pop sensibility that recalls the Ramones and David Bowie. Michael A. and Michael B. lay out the complete history of the band before we dive into a track-by-track dissection of Cheer Up. Be forewarned, this one gets raw and raunchy - ear muffs for the kids.

On episode #57 it's listener review time once again. This week we finally get to a suggestion by 'Chel over at the awesome I Hate The 90s blog and review the 1991 album Gobbledygook by The Wendys.

For episode #56, we dip into the category of "so good yet criminally overlooked," exploring the world of Satchel and their 1994 album EDC. Satchel seamlessly explore Alice In Chains riffing on one song and twisted Prince grooves on the very next. Joining us for the extensive track-by-track review is Satchel frontman Shawn Smith, who gives us insight on songwriting, dealing with a major label in the '90s, and how those Reservoir Dogs samples ended up on the album.

For episode #55, we're back with another pick by Jason. This time it's Hoarse, and their 1997 album Happens Twice. Featuring former members of Sponge, Hoarse takes a decidedly different approach, drawing on punk, power pop and even a little pop metal. Does Hoarse deserve to be slotted with fellow '90s rockers like Superdrag and Watershed, or are they dog food (yes, that was a stretch for an analogy that doesn't entirely make sense).

On episode #54 we review the 1999 album Mission: Control! from Burning Airlines. J Robbins may be better known for his years in Jawbox, but is it possible Mission: Control! is his best work?

On episode #52 of Dig Me Out, we review the 1997 album Lula Divinia by Shiner. Lots tags are applied to Shiner - progressive, emo, alternative, angular, math rock, space rock - but all that really matters is the songs. So does Shiner deliver the goods?

Dig Me Out is back for Season Two, and we return with a good, old-fashioned disagreement. In episode #51 we review the one and only album from Fossil, their 1995 eponymous release. J contends there are too many lame attempts at bad funk, Tim still thinks 'Moon' is one of the best college radio singles of the decade and it somehow devolves into a discussion on the disappointment of Live's post-Throwing Copper releases.

Season One of Dig Me Out is in the books! For the last episode of 2011, we're taking a look back at our freshman year and picking our top five favorite songs as well as our new album discovery. We've also got plenty of thank you's to dispense to those who made Season One better than we ever expected: Chip Midnight, Neal Schmitt, Keith Jenkins, Gavin R., Chel at I Hate the 90s, Orcen, Norman F., Shawn F., Bill L., Jon S., Scott C., Sondra J. and Gary H., Ruthie Morris of Magnapop and Ben London of Alcohol Funnycar. And lastly, thank you to you, the listener, who made spending a few hours each week recording and editing this podcast worthwhile. With all of the exciting, interesting and unknown albums already booked for the coming year, we can't wait to get started on Season Two in 2012. (Assuming the Mayans weren't right, then we cannot guarantee the quality of the podcast as the world crumbles before our eyes, as depicted in the 2012.) Have a safe and happy New Year!

On the penultimate episode of the first season of Dig Me Out, we tackle the 1996 album Secaucus by The Wrens. A sprawling 19-track album presents many challenges - can the band maintain quality from start to finish, while providing enough diversity to avoid getting repetitive? Neither of us were familiar with Secaucus, so how does it fair, and what does it mean when bands like Cursive, The Who, Guided By Voices, Spoon, The Living End, Men At Work and the Pixies all get referenced during the discussion of one album?

Beware episode #48, we're getting heavy. Jason wanted to tackle some metal, so we're reviewing the 1991 album Blind from Corrosion of Conformity. Like some sort of robotic transforming thing, there's more than meets the eye, or ear, when it comes to C.O.C.

On episode #47 we review the 1998 album In/Casino/Out by At The Drive-In. Combine a frantic rhythm section with complex guitars lines and vocal gymnastics, and you've scratched the surface of what makes ATDI special. We spend time on the post-ATDI bands, and debate who wins the Sparta vs. Mars Volta showdown, consider the influences of bands like Rage Against The Machine and Superchunk, and ponder Vince Vaughn's Christmas movie choices.

As promised, here's the full interview with Alcohol Funnycar singer/guitarist Ben London. Big thanks to Chip Midnight!

On episode #45, it's back to listener suggestions. This week we tackle the 1995 album Weasels by Alcohol Funnycar. Joining us for this episode is Chip Midnight, and he's got an interview with Alcohol Funnycar's Ben London. In our discussion, we try to determine if AFC's Weasels is the sound of '90s - a little punk, a little grunge, some melody and edginess, but pretty much just rock. Leave us a comment at digmeoutpodcast.com, or stop by our Facebook page to chime in.

One episode #44 we were supposed to be joined by label owner Bill Litfin of the now defunct Glazed Records to review the 1992 Rocket from the Crypt album Circa:Now! Bill couldn't make it, so we're left to our own devices to review what Jason calls the album that defines the sound of RFTC. With bombastic guitars and the distinctive vocals of John Reis, it's hard to pinpoint the influences and origins of RFTC. Voice your opinion on our Facebook page or Twitter feed.

On episode #43 we review the Matthew Sweet co-produced 1994 album Teenage Symphonies to God by Velvet Crush. Neither of us were familiar with the band before hearing the album, but now we're firmly on board the Velvet Crush train. If you're a fan of '60s pop like The Byrds and Beatles, the '70s power pop of Cheap Trick, Big Star and the Raspberries and '90s alt rockers like Sweet and Teenage Fanclub, you'll want to check out this episode. To comment, visit digmeoutpodcast.com for links to our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

One episode #42 we're back with another listener suggestion - the 1993 album Songs from the Second Storey by The God Machine. This band took a long journey from SoCal to NYC to the UK, and it sounds like it. Hints of Kyuss-like stoner rock meld with British shoegaze and Jane's Addiction psychedelia. But is there too much of a good thing on the longest album we've ever reviewed? Tune in and find out. To comment, visit digmeoutpodcast.com for our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

On episode #41 we review The Mayfield Four's 1998 album Fallout. There's no doubt that lead singer Myles Kennedy, like Matthew Bellamy of Muse or Jimmy Gnecco of Ours, owes a lot to Jeff Buckley. But does he meld the alt.rock sound of The Mayfield Four with Buckley's ethereal tenor? And what's with that Marvin Gaye cover? To comment on this episode, visit digmeoutpodcast.com for links to our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

On episode #40, Tim and J venture into the nebulous world known as Jawbreaker. Are they punk? Are the emo? Are they pre-emo? Are they post-punk? Who knows, but we try to figure that out and give a listen to their 1994 album 24 Hour Revenge Therapy. Visit digmeoutpodcast.com for links to our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

For episode #39, we're joined again by guest Neal Schmitt to review a listener suggestion: Barkmarket's 1993 album Gimmick. It's noisy, loud, abrasive, aggressive, unrelenting and pretty damn good. If you're a fan of later Nine In Nails, the Jesus Lizard, Fugazi, Jawbox or the Deftones, we heard a little of each band in Gimmick. Give a listen and tell us if you agree. Visit digmeoutpodcast.com for links to our Facebook page and Twitter feed.

On episode #38 we're again joined by guest Neal Schmitt to review one of Tim's favorite all-time albums, 1991's Still Feel Gone from alt-country pioneers Uncle Tupelo. There plenty to discuss on our first hour-long episode - the varied songwriting, lyrical and musical styles of co-lead singers/songwriters Jeff Tweedy and Jay Farrar, and the drumming of Mike Heidorn are rich for review. The discussion leads to this question: has there been another band since Uncle Tupelo that produced a pair of talented singer/songwriters?

On episode #37 we tackle the 1993 self-titled Porno for Pyros album. J and Tim find a mixed bag with the first album from ex-Jane's Addiction members Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins. While the songs got shorter than your typical Jane's tune, the unique combination of funk, metal, world music and grunge collide to uneven results.

On episode #36, it's another Ohio band. We've already tackled Sons of Elvis from Cleveland and Gaunt from Columbus. This time it's Dayton's Mink, and their 1998 album Get In Get Out, an album Tim and J both discovered back in 2000, but are happy to revisit and spread the word about Mink.

On episode #35 we review the 1993 album Phaseshifter by Redd Kross. J bought it new when it came out back in the day, but Tim had never listened to any Redd Kross before reviewing this. We're in total agreement on this one - Phaseshifter is a criminally overlooked album ripe for rediscovery for people who dig the power pop of Cheap Trick and Big Star.
