It received near-universal critical acclaim upon release, with many praising its ambitious scope and emotional depth, but has it retained a lasting influence Source Tags and Codes remains a defining moment in the band's career and is considered a classic by fans of the band, but does it stand up over twenty years later?   Songs In This Episode Intro - It Was There That I Saw You 18:09 - Another Morning Stoner 22:09 - How Near How Far 25:23 - Baudelaire 30:34 - Relative Ways Outro - Monsoon   Support the podcast, join the DMO UNION at Patreon.

Remember that band you loved in 1997 whose CD got buried in a moving box, or the one-hit-wonder that vanished from the radio? Dig Me Out: 90s & 00s Rock is for anyone who believes that era’s alternative and rock scene still has stories left to tell. This isn't just a nostalgia trip; it's a dedicated excavation. Each week, the hosts go deep, pulling one specific album from the shelves for a track-by-track discussion that feels like friends debating in a record store. They explore what made that record work, why it might have faded from view, and where it stands today. The conversation often expands into roundtable discussions about genres, trends, and the cultural shifts that defined the decades, sometimes even featuring conversations with the artists who were there. Listening to this podcast feels like rediscovering a part of your musical history you’d almost forgotten, presented with a genuine enthusiasm that’s contagious. You’ll hear more than just the big hits from the era; you’ll get the deep cuts, the missed opportunities, and the albums that deserved a second chance. If your music collection was built on college radio, mixtapes from friends, and liner notes, this podcast provides the thoughtful commentary and deep knowledge that those albums always warranted. Tune in to reconnect with the sounds that shaped a generation and maybe find your next favorite album from a band you never knew you missed.
