Thankful In 2020 - Roundtable
We spent Thanksgiving Eve with our listeners and shared the music we were thankful for during the unrelenting dumpster fire that was 2020
While the calendar confirms that 2020 was a standard 365 days, March seemed to last seven months, and in total the year seemed like one endless anxiety attack. Luckily, music still provided a momentary reprise via albums in a variety of forms. Some were unexpected, like from Hum, Shiner, Sparta, and Criteria. Some were long in the making, like albums from Fiona Apple, Pearl Jam, Alanis Morissette, and the Psychedelic Furs. Others were from active favorites, like The Lees of Memory, Guided By Voices, Local H, and Jeff Tweedy. There was something for everyone, and we talked about many. What did you enjoy listening to this year? Special Guests: Marisa Buxbaum - Dmo Union, Phil Fleming - Patron, Chip Midnight - Music Journalist, Ryan Allen - Vocals And Guitar, Extra Arms

Mudhoney - Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge
Not too long ago, Mark Lanegan and Mudhoney found themselves in a sudden death run-off poll, with Lanegan pulling it out at the end. With only a few more episodes left in 2020, we decided to give one of the pioneers of grunge a second chance. We'll be revisiting the 1991 Mudhoney album Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge this Sunday, December 13th at 9:00 PM EST.
