Today, we’re cranking up the nostalgia and breaking down the legendary Pump Up the Volume soundtrack from the 1990 cult classic starring Christian Slater. This soundtrack was a defining piece of my youth, full of iconic tracks that pushed boundaries and opened doors to the alternative music scene of the '90s. This was also the soundtrack that introduced me to lyrics and themes that were edgy enough to upset my parents and make my teenage self feel rebellious and empowered.

Around 1997, it started to feel like my music tastes were beginning to mellow and I wasn't seeking out heavy music as much anymore-- until one day when I turned on MTV and saw this band called Deftones screaming with sharks for the My Own Summer (Shove It) music video. Around the Fur would be my introduction to this alternative metal band from Sacramento, and the sexy, cool, sinister sound of loud / quiet / loud suited my tastes perfectly.

After attending Best Friends Forever Festival, my mind was transported back to a time in the late 90s when I was leaving high school and entering college in Illinois. It just so happened that at the same time, the Midwestern Emo scene was blossoming all around me, and the out of body experience I would feel about these bands inspired a truly emotional episode about my time in the Midwest as a young adult.

In 1998 The Smashing Pumpkins returned to us in a different shape than before. Now there were only three, and what remained of the band felt like grief in a gothic gown, introspective and embracing solitude. Somehow Adore mirrored where I found myself as a young man learning to be alone for the first time, and this album has only matured over time. Join me this week as we revisit this divisive departure we found ourselves in Once Upon a Time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

During the early 2000s, the garage rock revival was dominating the airwaves when I first heard Cursive's 'The Ugly Organ' with a sound I'd never heard before with its of blending post-hardcore punk and cello. Two decades later and Cursive, led by prolific musician/songwriter Tim Kasher, continues to churn out albums with catchy hooks and infectious energy, so I felt fortunate to catch up with Tim about what inspires him, what are some of his foundations in music, and why it's important to love what you create.

Being born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, it wasn't long before I caught wind of The Flaming Lips-- an experimental psychedelic art-rock band rising out of our neighboring Oklahoma City. By summer of 1993, you could hear people singing 'Taaaaaangerines' along with front-man Wayne Coyne on MTV, but it was when I first purchased Transmissions from the Satellite Heart on CD that I witnessed the earliest days of this enduring band that has metamorphosized into a joyful celebration of art, music and life.

In 1996, Jonny Polonsky greeted the world with his debut album 'Hi My Name is Jonny' on Rick Rubin's American Recordings Label. Since then, Jonny has continued to be a prolific singer/songwriter by writing catchy melodies, releasing solo albums, and collaborating with artists like Neil Diamond, Frank Black and Johnny Cash-- to name a few.
