[spike]

Peak nostalgia, friends. Hosted by a Ringer music critic in his mid 40s, covers a wide array of genres. Eps are part band/artist history, part deeper dive into the song with a knowledgeable guest.

A not too serious tone throughout the proceedings; reminds me how I chat with my friends about the music of our younger years - which we consider sacred but can also have a laugh at in hindsight.

[spike]

He still does:

New Radicals were basically just The Verve for Dawson's Creek fans.

[bada]

The Verve rule you monster.

[Ms Harmless]

so does Dawson's Creek, what the fuck WM

[washing machine]

I wasn't intending any of that to be a negative. You nerds sure are defensive.

[Norah]

I found your assessment insightful, Reid.

[washing machine]

Score one for the good guys.

[Jorge]

It reminded me of Hot Music Takes Bot
