For this grand achievement of 50 episodes, I waffled on a theme for a while but was excited about a lot of new sounds coming out. With all this 90's musical, and sadly, fashion resurgence, I thought it might be cool to compare some of the music that made an impact on me back in 1995 at the green ol' age of 18 and compared it to what's happening now 30 years later. I was doing a zine at that time, and I recently looked back on what I viewed as hits and misses, although, funnily enough, my opinion on many of those has changed over the years.
And let's hear it for the mighty Deadguy, who released Fixation on a Coworker 30 years ago, then changed line-ups, recorded an EP and promptly broke up, only to somehow fully return to form in 2025 with one of the years best releases!
