New Miserable Experience by Gin Blossoms

from 90's Tunes · host Avery Cochrane

This week, Lena and Avery rewind to 1992 and dive into New Miserable Experience by the Gin Blossoms—an album full of jangly guitars, bittersweet lyrics, and ‘90s heartbreak. They explore how songs like “Hey Jealousy” and “Found Out About You” became alt-radio staples, and reflect on the tragic impact of guitarist Doug Hopkins, whose songwriting gave the album its emotional weight. Was it grunge-adjacent power pop or just the perfect soundtrack for post-breakup drives? Either way, Lena and Avery agree—it still holds up. Tune in for nostalgia, deep cuts, and just a touch of Arizona sunshine

Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife Fountainhead Transmedia, Inc. Could death be a quality? A place? Not an ending, but an occurrence that changes those it happens to? In Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife, Vonnegut skips back and forth between life and the Afterlife as if the difference between them were rather slight. In light hearted interviews with Sir Issac Newton, Adolf Hitler, Isaac Asimov, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, William Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, and Kilgore Trout, among others - Vonnegut trips down “the blue tunnel to the pearly gates” in the guise of a roving reporter for public radio, all the while dodging the crotchety bureaucrat, Saint Peter. Kurt Vonnegut: Reporter on the Afterlife, began in 1999 as a series of 90 Second interludes for WNYC, New York City’s public radio station. It has evolved over the past 25 years through writing and rewriting, into a fiction podcast adventure series - available everywhere you listen to pods. This provocat Hvor var du?
