    Hey, it's Alan Cross.
    For the next few weeks of the Podcast, we’re diving deep into the Ongoing History of New Music Archives with a series called “The Top 100 Moments in New Rock”.
    In this ten-part series, we’re going to look at the 100 most significant events in new rock history...some are obvious–you know, the big stuff that made the news...you can’t ignore those.
    But we’re also going to look at the small things that are at the root of some of the big things...it’s a fascinating way to look at history and society and art.
    This originally aired 20 years ago in the spring of 2004…and we thought it might be fun to hear where we’ve been, how things used to be, and how much everything has changed since. 
    This is Part 8 in the series.
    We hope you enjoy this look back.
