On the latest episode of Armchairs & Earphones Mark from Hey Johnny! & Kelly Marks join the podcast to talk about our favorite fall records.  We each go through our top ten favorite records to listen to in the fall and talk about them, defend them, and become annoyed that there were bands that we left off of this list that should have been included (this of course is in hindsight after the podcast).

So put on your favorite hoodie, pour a cup of coffee, grab a piece of pumpkin bread and enjoy as we disclose some great fall albums we hope you check out and enjoy!

Episode 20: An In-Depth Look at the Era of Grunge with Jackson & Nick



















On our milestone 20th Episode, Jackson Kesy & Nick Gumm, formerly of the Milwaukee based band Drago join the show to talk about grunge music.  Jackson, Nick, & I talk extensively about the grunge era and 90's music in general.  We debate if & why this short lived musical genre was as influential as some rock critics claim it is. To prepare for this podcast Jackson listened to Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, & Temple of the Dog (which believe it or not may have been more important than people remember). While Nick, made a timeline of the 90's and what music he was listening to (see pictures above).
