“Look at any photo from a moment of supposed zeitgeist in American history, and it will be clear that not everyone in that moment represented the cutting-edge of culture.” –Rolf Potts In this essay episode of Deviate, Rolf talks about why he enjoys listening to Rob Harvilla’s podcast 60 Songs That Explain the ’90s at double-speed, but that he’s disappointed Rob has never alluded to Rolf’s own 1990s grunge band, Swizzlefish (1:45); Rolf describes his move from Kansas to the Pacific Northwest in the year 1990, at a very specific moment in America’s cultural zeitgeist (10:30); the origins of Swizzlefish, and how its formation with Rolf’s friends Ryan and Steve was compromised by the fact that Rolf and Steve were in no way musical virtuosos (18:30); the circumstances of the first Swizzlefish live show, and how it caused an immediate controversy on Rolf’s small Christian college campus (30:00); what Portland’s indie-rock scene was like in early 1993, and what kinds of bands Rolf and his friends saw there (35:00); how the second Swizzlefish concert resulted in the band getting banned from playing on its own college campus (42:00); Swizzlefish’s spring 1993 performance at Portland’s X-Ray Cafe, and how the middle-class normalcy of its fans evoked something true about grunge music (49:00); Rolf’s eventual move to Seattle to work as a landscaper, his experiences at a 1993 Nirvana show there, and the curiously enduring legacy of Swizzlefish more than 30 years later (57:30); and Rolf talks to music journalist Rob Harvilla about Rolf’s brief appearance in the 1992 horror movie Dr. Giggles, their respective experiences with 1990s music, and whether or not Kurt Cobain would have liked them (1:06:25). The 1993 Swizzlefish album Big Time Loser is available for streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

Ringer music critic and host of 60 Songs That Explain the '90s Rob Harvilla returns to Pop Pantheon to discuss one of the most derided – and successful – pop acts of the 21st Century, The Black Eyed Peas. Louie and Rob trace the group's roots as an optimistic, politically progressive “conscious rap” crew, starting with their first two pre-Fergie records, 1998's Behind The Front and 2000's Bridging the Gap. Then they tackle the Peas' reinvention as a garish, craven, operatically tacky band peddling radio pop on 2003's Elephunk and their doubling down on big-tent pop maximalism on 2005's Monkey Business. Next, Louie and Rob chart the Peas' ride into the rising EDM wave on 200's The E.N.D., their break-up, re-assembly and post-Fergie output. Finally, they rank the Black Eyed Peas in the Official Pop Pantheon. Join us next week where we'll be tackling the career of breakout Peas star, Fergie.

Rob has been a professional music journalist for over 20 years, is currently a senior staff writer at The Ringer — and is a life-long ‘90s music fanatic. The three music geeks get into Rob's upbringing, his stint writing for SPIN in the mid-2000s, his growing up in Ohio and the state's music scene, and his podcast and new book of the same name. They also talk about Rob's detailed memory of the era, all three of their stories of first listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” including some takes on some of the best bands, songs, and albums of the ‘90s — including Third Eye Blind, Pinkerton, “Wonderwall,” Nine Inch Nails, and Courtney Love. They also dive into what they miss about the pre-internet music era and its listening formats, debate if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, reminisce on the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, and, of course, they wrap up the conversation with some “Top 5s.” Tune in for a music-trivia-filled chat, some debate, and a very nostalgic episode with Rob Harvilla and Daniel Kohn!

Today's season nine opener is so fun—I could have talked to Rob Harvilla forever! We are going back to our mutual favorite decade, the 1990s, specifically to talk the decade's music. And what a random grab bag assortment that decade was in terms of music: grunge. Ska. Swing. The Latin explosion. Bubblegum pop. Hip-hop—perhaps some of the best of the genre, ever. MTV still played music videos (!), and played them all the time. We all knew every song on the Top 40. The 1990s were magic, as Rob writes in his book 60 Songs That Explain the 90s, and we are tapping into that magic today. So many trends from the 1990s are coming back around in present day—and oh, to return to the days when our biggest worries were if we'd make it home in time to watch that day's episode of TRL.

In addition to being a gorgeous rom com, the movie Singles also ended up preserving the Seattle music scene of the early 90's in film amber. Cameron Crowe's homage of vignettes to his adopted home brought together now iconic artists like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Chris Cornell and Soundgarden, and Mudhoney. Whether the artists thought the project was a good idea or not varied, but the results were undeniable. To top it off, Paul Westerberg was airlifted in from Minneapolis to tie it all together and the result is one of the most undeniably important compilations of the decade.

Longtime rock critic Rob Harvilla has made a lengthy career out of his love for the '90s-era songs that shaped his days as a teenager and college student. He's the host of the hit podcast “60 Songs That Explain the ‘90s” and he's built a devoted fan base of equally obsessed music fans while exploring songs from artists like Nirvana, Madonna, REM, and the Wu-Tang Clan. But despite his success, sometimes he just likes to mow the lawn with an old Soul Asylum album in his headphones before he gets back to his life as a dad. On this episode of Paternal, Harvilla discusses fatherhood themes in the songs from some of the biggest artists of the '90s, the origin of the term “Dad Rock” and why you're probably listening to it, the song he sang to his newborn son, and how he feels about his kids streaming songs at the push of a button instead of waiting for hours to record them off of MTV, like a real music fan should. Harvilla's podcast “60 Songs That Explain the ‘90s” is available on Spotify.

I'm your host Marie and  If you're joining us for the first time: Welcome! The Mastercast is a podcast recommendation show that brings you a brand new non-spoiler binge-worthy review every week of the best podcasts in a short and sweet 2-3 minute summary on everything you could want to know, from the number of hosts to on average how long you can expect each episode to be. New episodes come out every Monday. You can find the week's other reviews on the show's social on Instagram @themastercast and Twitter @mastercastpods. If you like what you hear and want to help out this independent show you can find me on Buy me a coffee by searching The Mastercast. I'd really appreciate it. This week's review is on60 songs that explain the 90sThis gem from The Ringer and hosted by music critic Rob Harvilla is a laugh-out-loud and witty look at songs that defined the 1990s. In every episode, a song is chosen and then covered in its entirety including things such as artist details, the state of society, and even some anecdotes from Harvilla himself about personal experiences he had with the songs and their artists when the songs came out. It also looks at the evolution of music overall, the bigger picture. Another big segment of the show is the last portion where a guest brings a new perspective. Some past guests have included singer-songwriter Amanda Shires and The New York Times' Caryn Ganz, to name a few. Harvilla is a cultural expert crossing topics and making analogies that you wouldn't have thought but everyone gets. His casual rhythm and brutal honesty about his biases are a huge reason the podcast is likely to make my list of top ten for 2023. Another is that it is both for those who fondly recall this decade as a time they live through and those who are only discovering the impact of its films, music, and other culture. Even if you grew up with this music, all the history and context gives you so much more to appreciate. There are some unusual characteristics the show has. For one there's no clean or clear intro with music or a statement about what show you're listening to. I think it adds to the casual conversation feel the pod has. There are also brief plays of the songs discussed in short clips which seem to line up with a misconception that music played in short bursts legally under the fair use laws. It seems like a pretty glaring error for The Ringer to make so maybe they have a special licensing that allows them to play short clips? I won't rule it out but most podcasts you hear do it are just willing to risk a Cease and Desist notice. Either way, I love that the music is included and often a single episode takes me two hours to listen to because I stop to listen to every song mentioned. So far the show has an average star of 4.6 with 206 Ratings. Generally, episodes come out weekly but one hasn't been released since FEB 22, 2023. Lucky for us the show has surpassed the number of episodes its title suggests. Currently, it sits at 91 but is rumored to be continuing to 120 after the show's massive success. Each are about an hour and twenty minutes long on average. My favorites have been “Firestarter”—The Prodigy, “Killing In The Name''—Rage Against The Machine, and Outkast—“Rosa Parks”. Obviously, the show has an incredible range of genres covered but when doing any sort of music history-style project I don't think it's possible to satisfy everyone. I'm sure anyone who listens will be begging to know why so-and-so wasn't covered. There isn't a pod where the episodes have to be listened to in order. You can skip episodes you don't find interesting although I challenge you to give them a try. Maybe you'll find an appreciation for the song you didn't know you had. I'm going to include some links temporarily in the show notes that you should check out including the show's website which has programming notes and transcript excerpts for each episode. There's also a companion playlist of all the songs mentioned on Spotify. It also seems a private party has made one on Youtube Music. I think it's pretty clear how cool I think this show is by the page-long review but please check it out. Let's collectively keep our fingers crossed for a “90 songs that explain the aughts.” Similar pods include: Questlove Supreme, History of the 90s, and Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums. All right, guys, that's all for this week but remember if you want to see the cover art, sources, or the written transcript for this episode be sure to check out the show notes.

Welcome back to The Abundant Artist, the show that dispels the myth of “the starving artist” and shares how you can live an abundant life as an artist and make a living from your talent one interview at a time.   Full-time artist, Catherine Rains, joins the podcast today to share her incredible journey to full-time artistry, her artistic insights and life philosophies, and the biggest lessons she has learned throughout her career. Self-described as an intuitive mixed media collage artist and spiritual seeker, Catherine creates abstract collages using her intuition and mixed media to inspire, heal, and awaken.   In this episode, Catherine highlights important lessons on failure, perseverance, consistency, and the importance of showing up. She lends her insights on what you can do to better understand yourself as an artist, lean into your strengths, and how not to let your brain hold you back from creating the art you are meant to create in this world. Catherine also touches on how she became more connected to her purpose through The Abundant Artist, how she retransitioned into becoming a full-time artist (after stepping away for nearly a decade), her general artistic process when it comes to creating new pieces, and how she markets her art online.   This is a not-to-miss episode full of wisdom and valuable insights from Catherine Rains! Be sure to tune in.   Key Takeaways: [:30] Cory welcomes Catherine Rains to the podcast! [1:47] Reminiscing on the start of The Abundant Artist podcast in 2015 [2:42] Catherine brings listeners back to 2015 and shares her story of transitioning from her day job to pursuing her artistic passions.

[12:16] About Catherine's career with the Myers-Brigg company. [13:27] The value in knowing your personality type (and taking a personality quiz such as the Myers-Brigg Type Indicator). [14:55] Catherine discusses Cory's personality type and strengths. [17:29] Where Catherine's passion lies and her ultimate goal with her art. [19:00] What Catherine did before her full-time job with Myers-Brigg. [20:55] Catherine shares her experience traveling around the world with two fifty-pound suitcases in the name of art. [23:33] How Catherine's time doing art and traveling has continued to benefit her in her art career. [25:10] Going back to 2020, Catherine shares her experience of releasing her best collection that didn't sell, and the biggest lessons that she learned. [31:22] How to not let your brain work against you when you're creating art. [36:58] Catherine's 10-minute rule. [37:36] Why Catherine wasn't “showing up” until her friend prompted her. [38:38] The magic in creating art you actually want to create rather than creating to sell. [41:41] How ‘showing up' and being consistent helped Catherine sell more pieces. [44:11] What Catherine means when she says, “When someone buys my art, they're not just buying my art.” [45:35] Why you don't need a huge audience to make a living; the concept behind 1000 true fans.

The post-Cold War landscape gave us attempts at looser forms of politics (does anyone still remember “The Third Way”?) and a cultural explosion to match.Music that started finding its feet in the 1970s and 1980s was thrust into the mainstream (disco, R&B and punk became techno, hip hop and grunge) and sonic stalwarts of the previous decade reinvented themselves (again).Step forward, Rob Harvilla, host of 60 Songs That Explain The 90s – a podcast from The Ringer that he created and hosts.It's no ordinary, tick-the-boxes music podcast by any stretch of the imagination, with Rob curating, narrating and debating songs from the decade that meant a lot to him, to the music industry – hell, even society, in some cases.The show is funny, informative and thought-provoking, which is a pretty good description of his chat with us for our episode of MetaPod.We find out why he selected songs (or didn't) for his collection in the show, what it was like being Rob Harvilla in the 90s and, as is now customary on MetaPod, a rapid-fire question round at the end.

Almost as soon as there were radio stations, there were college radio stations. In 1948, to popularize FM radio, the FCC introduced class D non commercial education licenses for low-watt college radio stations. By 1967, 326 FM radio signals in the United States operated as “educational radio,” 220 of which were owned and operated by colleges and universities. The type of programming that these stations offered varied widely, from lectures and sporting events, to various kinds of musical shows, but toward the late 1970s, a new genre of college rock appeared on the scene. Record labels took note as college DJs discovered up-and-coming new artists, although they sometimes stopped playing those artists once they made it big.Joining this week's episode is historian Dr. Katherine Rye Jewell, a Professor at Fitchburg State University and author of Live from the Underground: A History of College Radio.Our theme song is Frogs Legs Rag, composed by James Scott and performed by Kevin MacLeod, licensed under Creative Commons.
