    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.

Amazing

Amazing podcast he really just digs in and gives so much information

Good, but....

Content is really top notch. But you are lsoing me on all these commercials/advertisements!!! It really is 6 minutes of content 3 minutes of ads. It's just too much to bare. You lose me sometimes. You gotta make money but there is a tippng point. And you are on the edge.

Fascinating and grounding

I’ve been listening for a couple years and absolutely love the show. So thorough, excellent perspective, and always makes me feel warm and excited and more connected to my own lived history :)
