S05E05 Nine Inch Nails ’The Downward Spiral’ Bonus Episode
It's our 100th episode!! Which is mad enough in itself so we figured we should mark the occasion with a bonus episode on a true classic album of the 90s, Nine Inch Nails 'The Downward Spiral'. Dave came into this one already a huge fan of the record but Krister was brand new to a lot of it.
Along the way we have a few clips from some old friends and former guests such as Darren from our Def Leppard episode, Cliff from the Devil Times Five horror movie podcast, Niall from The Zeroes podcast, Stephen Hill from Trve.Cvlt.Pop (and our Chaka Demus & Pliers episode where he truly shone) and Si Sharp from Beat Rehab/Nautilus Gin and other general music nerdery. Huge thanks to all of them.
Hope you enjoy this episode and thanks to everyone who has listened to any of the previous 99 shows or got in contact with some pithy comments or simply liked one of our shit joke posts on social media. You're the best.

S05E04 Morrissey ’Vauxhall And I’
Like a bit of existential misery and complaining with your indie guitar music, do you? Well what a lucky day you're about to have being able to hear us talk about Morrissey's fourth solo album 'Vauxhall And I' from March 1994. Both of us love some Smiths tunes but don't really know any of Moz's solo stuff so we're not sure what this is going to be like going in.
But it's a bumper time period for other releases as well so we get to talk about bands like Nailbomb, David Holmes and Pantera among many, many others. Oh, and fucking Doop.

S05E03 Enigma ’The Cross Of Changes’
Why do bad things happen to good people? Why did two Enigma albums have to get to number one meaning we are duty bound to listen to them? 1994 continues its rollercoaster up and down ride with 'The Cross Of Changes', the second album from new age bastards Enigma.
Thankfully we are able to talk about other music that was happening at the time as well such as Therapy, Beck and Low among many others.

S05E02 Tori Amos ’Under The Pink’
After last episode's adventure into pop-dancehall we're doing a pretty extreme 180 into the world of Tori Amos and her second solo album 'Under The Pink' from February 1994. Will Dave decide that these songs could also be improved with some toasting from the man Chaka D? We shall find out.
We also managed to squeeze in some chat about Reel II Reel ft. The Mad Stuntman, Deep Forest (at which point Krister manages to get Star Trek very wrong) and we both try for the life of us to remember who Wendy Moten is and why she had a top ten single.
The episode also features various contributions from Niall of The Zeroes Podcast (whose 1990 Music episode we managed to squeeze ourselves onto) so thank you to him.

S05E01 Chaka Demus & Pliers ’Tease Me’
Season Five, people! Imagine that if you can: we have survived the albums from 1990-93 relatively unscathed and we're now diving headfirst into 1994 to see what that holds for us. And it appears to hold Chaka Demus & Pliers.
We decided that we needed some help in taking this one on so we drafted in Stephen Hill from the Trve.Cvlt.Pop podcast to join us since he had previously espoused his love for some of CD&P's tunes. Massive thanks to him, go and check out his show for more brilliant music chat.
Talking about other shows, you can hear some more of Dave talking about his favourite albums of the 90s on the Track1Side1 podcast with Gaz Jones where he was a guest recently.
But back to this episode, as well as talking about the album in question we cram in some chat about other stuff like Green Day, Underworld and, erm, K7. It's all go in this first episode of the new season.
