  • #147 - The Music of 1995
    We pay a visit to the year 1995 to talk about some of the music that was released that year. Anthony gives us the lowdown on the metal and prog scene at the time; Stephanie shares stories from her time at Virgin Records; Rob catches us up on the electronic scene, Alan fills us in on what a few legacy acts are getting up to at this point in their career; and the whole gang talks about the battle for radio supremacy between the two big BritPop bands. During the discussion we cover albums by Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Prince, Pink Floyd, Aimee Mann, Matthew Sweet, The Chemical Brothers, and Shaggy, debuts by Garbage, Natalie Merchant, Jill Sobule, and The Foo Fighters, and the juggernaut that was Jagged Little Pill.  As always, follow along with this exploration of 1995 with our handy-dandy Spotify Playlist! These are some of our faves -- what about yours? Is there an album from 1995 that you love that we didn't mention?

  • #146 - All About That BASS!
    All About That BASS!  Anthony leads the Modern Musicology crew in a discussion about the masters of the bottom end, the foundation of the band, the bringers of the thunder -- BASS PLAYERS! We highlight some of the best players in rock, metal, soul, and funk by sharing our favorite songs that open with unaccompanied bass parts! We've got examples from Metallica, Prince, Motorhead, Porcupine Tree, Van Halen, and more. And of course, you can't have a discussion about bass players and not include Chris Squire of Yes and Geddy Lee of Rush! If you want to hear the full songs that we reference in this show, you can find them all on a specially-made handy-dandy Spotify Playlist!  These are some of our faves -- what about yours? Is there a song with an unaccompanied bass intro that we didn't mention?
