Fade/Cliche by Sportsguitar

On episode #123 our frequent suggestor Dirty Gert throws his third requested review of the year into the ring with the Swedish duo Sportsguitar and their 1996 album Fade/Cliche. Like Radial Spangle and Space Needle, Sportsguitar is a challenge upon first listen. Hidden beneath layers of guitar noise are pop melodies, some deeper than others. Are they too deep, or just right? Tune in to find out.

Singles Soundtrack

For episode #122, we turned over selection to our Facebook followers to decide what would be our first soundtrack review. The response was overwhelming - it’s the soundtrack to the 1992 Cameron Crowe film Singles. Logically, a movie about Seattle in the early 90s features bands like Pearl Jam and Soundgarden, but curveballs like Paul Westerberg and The Lovemongers add some unexpected highlights. Is Singles the best compilation of early 90s alternative rock? Tune in to find out.

  • Intro - Dyslexic Heart by Paul Westerberg
  • 6:57 - Would? by Alice in Chains
  • 15:02 - Overblown by Mudhoney
  • 18:23 - Birth Ritual by Soundgarden
  • 27:15 - Drown by Smashing Pumpkins

See You In The Sunlight - Seed

See You In The Sunlight

  • Seed
  • Ling (B-Side)

We’re ditching this week’s Wednesday Video Flashback for a Dig Me Out Podcast flashback.

Back on episode #4 of Dig Me Out in February 2011 we reviewed the one and only album from Seed, 1994’s Ling. During that episode we talked about trying to find a b-side to the album. Well, low and behold, lead singer/songwriter Chadwick Salls reached out to us and we’ve posted that b-side, See You In The Sunlight, for everyone to check out.

Be sure to check out Chadwick’s new band, Kazi.
