We are unearthing this episode on the band Slowdive from way back in the beginning days of, I Already Told You That, not just because they are such a seminal influence but Melissa has now seen them live four times on their current tour! This time around she is back in the good ol US- of-A AND she has friends, that she connected with through this podcast, who are also big fans of Slowdive! Together they took a pilgrmage to see the band together. Melissa chats with these friends that she connected with over a shared love of music. They discuss that love of music and finding people that also share that love of music through pen pals and friendship books. Speaking of friendship books, what an amazing, before-there-was-the-internet thing.

Here's one that Melissa knew Bryan would know...even if it took him a minute to re-remember. This episode Melissa brings the indie rock with the lovely melodic guitars and vocals of Sebadoh. Melissa is focusing on their 1991 album, "Sebadoh III". Melissa and Bryan came to this band from differnt angles but both truely enjoy what Sebadoh has to offer. Bryan connects to the spine tingling guitar hooks and Melissa to the low-fi noise production and heart warming lyrics. But they come together on the melodies and just the all around 4-track weirdness and rocking of Sebadoh's sound. This week the mix is actually just the whole album, "Sebadoh III" please enjoy our chat and check out the whole album and go buy it at a store for christ sake!!

We are deeply saddened with the passing of Sinead O'Connor. To remember her we are re-releasing the episode we put out in February 2021 when Melissa professed her true love for Sinead and talked about some of the lesser known, but certainly not lesser sounding songs. Melissa focused on her work as a musician and her substantial influence on somebody...who is the main host of this podcast...and don't fear we also got into some great songs that you will be familiar with. Remember Sinead, listen to her beutiful music, and know that she will be loved forever.
