Los Angeles Rocks in the 1990s Part 1 (1990-94)

In which the Curmudgeons once again venture to the City of Angels to recapture all the great vibes generated during the 1990s. After a 1980s in which glam metal and punk scenes dominated, what came next for Los Angeles? Well, the trade winds blew in from the Pacific Northwest, and the influence of grunge made the music crunchier and louder, giving us bands like Tool and Weezer. Meanwhile, the longstanding stylings of the L.A. underground found their way into the mainstream, giving us radio-ready glory from Jane's Addiction, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Beck. A lot happened in L.A. during the dawn of the Internet age. We begin to cover those happenings in this episode.    Listen to all the great sound of Los Angeles in the 1990s by access our special Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/44Gum0MV2jMIMehRa1ja72?si=5a06f9d388d74bac   Here's a handy navigation companion to this episode.   (00:52 - 02:36) - Arturo Andrade sets the parameters for our discussion of Los Angeles rocking in the 1990s   (05:15 - 16:10) - The Parallel Universe, featuring reviews of new music from Blondshell and Durand Jones & The Indications   (17:09 - 57:25) - We discuss great L.A. albums from Los Lobos, Guns N' Roses, Jane's Addiction, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rage Against the Machine and Kyuss   (58:43 - 01:33:23) - WE discuss great L.A. albums from Los Lobos (again), Tool, Weezer, Beck, Kyuss (again) and Korn   Join our Curmudgeonly Community today! facebook.com/groups/curmudgeonrock   Hosted on Podbean! curmudgeonrock.podbean.com   Subscribe to our show on these platforms: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-curmudgeon-rock-report/id1551808911   https://open.spotify.com/show/4q7bHKIROH98o0vJbXLamB?si=5ffbdc04d6d44ecb   https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5fea16f1-664e-40b7-932e-5fb748cffb1d/the-   Co-produced and co-hosted by The Curmudgeons - Arturo Andrade and Christopher O'Connor
