Today, Kevan returns to help me hone in on the infamously terrible 90's hit "Tubthumping" by Chumbawumba.

We dissect the painfully awkward video, remember our adolescent impressions of the song, discuss the band's anarcho-punk background, talk about finding hardcore and punk music in the age before YouTube and Spotify, and try to figure out why YouTube commenters have such a hard time finding good music nowadays.

Today I talk to friend and musician Kevan Aguilar about the semi-alt rock of the late 90's, including The Wallflowers' odd contribution to the Godzilla soundtrack and Third Eye Blind's meth and sex-laden hit Semi-Charmed Life.

I try to figure out the video for Heroes, Kevan also discusses being introduced to bands by his older sisters, and we both realize what a loser Stephen Jenkins is.

We're finishing our Nu-Metal conversation today by remembering and dissecting Korn's "Falling Away From Me."

We talk about how amazing it is that a music video about child abuse made it onto TRL, the crazy stories from their recording sessions, and growing up latino and listening to "white" music. We also talk extensively about navigating the early days of internet pornography, Nu-Metal we still actually like, and James's and my old hardcore band Life Tyrant.

In this episode I'm joined by two friends from the hardcore scene, James Hernandez and Derek Chacon, to make fun of the nu-metal we liked as kids, but also to talk about how it possibly led us to hardcore music.

We're remembering and dissecting Static-X's "Black and White," their hilariously awkward collaboration with DMC, and Pantera's "Revolution Is My Name."

Are Adidas responsible for this weird collab? Are moms everywhere responsible for preventing horrible adolescent fashion choices? Is Peter Criss responsible for Vinnie Paul's terrible facial hair? Find out on today's episode.
