Completely Conspicuous

Part 2 of my conversation with guest Brian Salvatore as we look back at the music of 1994. Show notes: - Recorded via Skype - Brian:  Enjoyed albums from Tom Petty, Rancid, Sea and Cake - Beasties were all over the place on Ill Communication--in a good way - Sunny Day Real Estate's epic album - Halo Benders teamed Doug Martsch and Calvin Johnson - The Toadies break through - Jay: Sebadoh's Bakesale was a good combo of punk and melodic songs - Jeff Buckley went from hard rock to cabaret on Grace - Sugar's 2nd full-length was punchy and fun...for Bob Mould - Green Day's Dookie was a monster hit that nobody needs to hear anymore - Jay: Foolish was my intro to Superchunk - Brian's #5 - Nirvana's best album was Unplugged in New York - Jay saw Nirvana in Springfield, Mass., about a week before the Unplugged show - Jay's #5 - Bee Thousand is probably the perfect distillation of Guided By Voices - Brian's #4 - Alice in Chains' Jar of Flies was the first EP to top the album chart
