A High Speed Chase

from Best Album For Hosted by Dave Sandell & Caleb Gardner

What's the right soundtrack for barreling down a highway in pursuit -- or being pursued -- in your very own General Lee? Dave & Caleb lay out the criteria, buckle in, and gun it to 95 with The Prodigy's Fat of the Land and The Reverend Horton Heat's It's Martini Time! Two albums from a golden era of the 90s when, for one shining moment, electronica and swing music improbably had its grips around our collective imagination. Plus, the single scariest moment of young Dave's life. Also, what we're listening to this week, including a band we love with the most unfortunate name. Discussed today: The Prodigy - Fat of the Land Reverend Horton Heat - It's Martini Time The 90s swing era (including Brian Setzer Orchestra, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Royal Crown Revue and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy) DMX The Yeah Yeah Yeahs Mannequin Pussy - I Got Heaven Waxahatchee - Tiger's Blood Alice Coltrane - The Carnegie Hall Concert Alice Coltrane - Journey in Satchidananda Check out our new playlist on Apple Music, Best Music For 2024. (Spotify coming soon.)
