    December 5, 1998: "Never There" by Cake

    In this episode, we dive into the song "Never There" by the band Cake, exploring its catchy blend of alternative rock, dry wit, and introspective lyrics. We discuss the song’s themes of emotional distance and disillusionment, along with its unique mix of trumpet, guitar, and minimalist production. We also reflect on how "Never There" became a standout track in Cake's discography, capturing the band's signature sound while resonating with listeners on a personal level. Tune in for a deep dive into the song's meaning and its place in the broader context of 90s alternative music.

    November 21, 1998: "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz

    Somehow we go 90 minutes - one minute for every song on Lenny Kravitz’ interminable 5th album 5.  We do a deep dive on the Kravitz discography, Quillen does a dramatic lyric reading, and then it's scarves, Lars Ulrich, and a review of a certain Stall that may or may not be relevant to this week's song.

    It's not an episode about James L. Brooks, but this is just about As Good As It Gets for alternative rock in 1998. The boys talk about the hits and misses of Hole's third album, and then they move on to the misses and misses of the modern rock chart.
