We are unearthing this episode on the band Slowdive from way back in the beginning days of, I Already Told You That, not just because they are such a seminal influence but Melissa has now seen them live four times on their current tour! This time around she is back in the good ol US- of-A AND she has friends, that she connected with through this podcast, who are also big fans of Slowdive! Together they took a pilgrmage to see the band together. Melissa chats with these friends that she connected with over a shared love of music. They discuss that love of music and finding people that also share that love of music through pen pals and friendship books. Speaking of friendship books, what an amazing, before-there-was-the-internet thing. Please be sure to check out the link to view and follow the friendship book scene and as always check out the Slowdive mix and buy their records!!

Here's one that Melissa knew Bryan would know...even if it took him a minute to re-remember. This episode Melissa brings the indie rock with the lovely melodic guitars and vocals of Sebadoh. Melissa is focusing on their 1991 album, "Sebadoh III". Melissa and Bryan came to this band from differnt angles but both truely enjoy what Sebadoh has to offer. Bryan connects to the spine tingling guitar hooks and Melissa to the low-fi noise production and heart warming lyrics. But they come together on the melodies and just the all around 4-track weirdness and rocking of Sebadoh's sound. This week the mix is actually just the whole album, "Sebadoh III" please enjoy our chat and check out the whole album and go buy it at a store for christ sake!!

We are deeply saddened with the passing of Sinead O'Connor. To remember her we are re-releasing the episode we put out in February 2021 when Melissa professed her true love for Sinead and talked about some of the lesser known, but certainly not lesser sounding songs. Melissa focused on her work as a musician and her substantial influence on somebody...who is the main host of this podcast...and don't fear we also got into some great songs that you will be familiar with. Remember Sinead, listen to her beutiful music, and know that she will be loved forever.

This week, Peter gosh darn Gabriel! Maybe not the most obscure artist but definitely had a huge impact on so many with his unique solo beginnings. Melissa brings us his first 4 albums, confusingly all titled "Peter Gabriel" but don't worry Melissa helps Bryan understand the unique differences between each album. Culminating into his sound track work and current albums. This is a biggie! There are biggie hearts! As always, most certainly 1000%, listen to the mix. These songs and albums deserve a full listen!

Back with another episode of influential music! This week the UK band Curve! This early 90's duo gave Melissa what she was looking for in noisey, melodic beat driven songs. She brings Bryan into her world and plays us the best from their early EPs into their first two LPs. Come along for a somewhat silly ride through some rediculously good layered sound cake.

Now here's an I Already Told You That first bringing an all new feature...a GAME SHOW! Bryan kind of already knows Galaxie 500 but he really doesn't...he sort of knows the other band that the lead singer/guitar person was in, called "Luna"...but even then he is not so sure. So to test his knowledge after listening to a whole shows worth of songs, Melissa will put Bryan's knowledge to the test in the game, "Is this Luna or is this Galaxie 500??". Fun times are had by all and the super warm and fuzzy tones of Galaxie 500 were enjoyed all the way through. As always please check out the mix linked below!!

You say you wanted some easy listening? Well here you go! Sadly we lost one of music's absolute greats and here is our I Already Told You That rememberance of the mesmerizing and super excellent music of Olivia Newton-John. Melissa was a super mega fan as a kid and her love carries through to today. She takes Bryan all the way through her early work up through the super popular early 80's.

I guess we are back on a roll..this week back in the 1991 pocket with the band Chapterhouse and their stone cold classic record "Whirlpool". Melissa decided after the epic Dead Can Dance episode to hone this one in a bit and just focus on one record from this band that she loves. Even if you have never heard of Chapterhouse you have heard their influence on 90's era "alt-rock" and hiphop. Check it out it'll only take you an hour this time and you might just get up off your duff and shake it a little bit!!
This weeks's Chapterhouse "Whirlpool" mix is no really a mix but rather the whole album plus a couple tracks demonstrating the two separate releases and the quality difference on the tracks. Listen to the episode to hear what we are talking about.
We suggest you listen to the YouTube music playlist as that has the tracks Melissa uploaded from her copy of Whirlpool. Spotify does not allow us to upload music.

Hey guys! It's been ahhhh while now. Sorry about that! But this one was worth the wait. If you've learned anything from listening to this podcast its that Melissa LOVES 4AD and this episode brings you a BIG ONE on her list of 4AD loves...Dead Can Dance. This is a timely episode for us because live shows are back and we are going to see the very alive Dead Can Dance band perform live! So we are excited, the cat is excited, and YOU should be excited to listen to music that defies description...unless of course you enjoy neo classical dark wave, art rock, post punk, renaissance orchestral, Gaelic folk, African-polyrhythm, Gregorian chat, world goth, etherial wave...well then you'll LOVE THIS!. xoxo -B&M
