Maria, carry a rifle.By Laura Loe and Matthew Amster-Burton.

We should be okay and we won't get in a muddle.By Laura Loe and Matthew Amster-Burton.

This month, once again we talk about an obscure 90s album you've never heard of. Pretty good.By Laura Loe and Matthew Amster-Burton.

A stone-cold classic that's as relevant, progressive, and weird as it was in 1995. These are loud, smart hope-from-the-gutter tunes, and we're kind of in love. This album is out of print, but used CDs are readily available.By Laura Loe and Matthew Amster-Burton.

0898 Beautiful South, The Beautiful South, 1992 Matthew really puts Laura through the wringer on this one. 0898 is an overproduced, saccharine mess of sad drunks, cannibals, and codependents, and Matthew couldn't love it more.

Mezzanine, Massive Attack, 1998. On this episode, we chill out after the rave and talk nicknames, musical diversity, fade-ins, buildups, and teenage weirdos.

Luna (extended thoughts from Laura Loe) There are a lot of amazing things about doing our Hidden Jukebox podc ...…

Hole, Celebrity Skin, 1998. We take a deeper look at ourselves while listening to this 1998 classic. If this album is considered by some to be a "guilty pleasure," we clearly don't have any guilt about it. This was a foundational soundtrack to our 90's SoCal lives. From hanging with dolphins at the beach and midnight jaunts to the "Rock n' Roll ...…

The Magnetic Fields, 69 Love Songs, 1999 With apologies to Prince's Emancipation, 69 Love Songs is probably the best triple album out there. Still, we wondered, what if we had to edit it down to twelve songs? (Heretical, we know.) In the process, we talk romantic entanglements, carfree urbanism, and dreaminess.

Pavement, Brighten the Corners, 1997 On our debut episode, we talk guitar wankery, hit singles, off-mic screaming, and how to sing when no one's listening. Links: Listen on SpotifyBy Laura Loe and Matthew Amster-Burton.
