Episode 184
This week, Aaron and Brent both highlight artists that had significant mainstream success in the mid-90s, one from Gainesville, Florida and the other from Athens, Georgia by way of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Named after a local missionary who ran a homeless shelter, Aaron picks out three deeper cuts from Sister Hazel.
Opting to attend college in the same town that served as the home base for R.E.M. and The B-52’s, Brent spotlights three songs from Matthew Sweet.
