Episode 12: A Bass and a Lot of Screaming

This week, the Crush on Radio crew talk about their favorite albums from the year 1996, despite two-thirds of them having been up late and being terribly sleep deprived. Also discussed: why two-thirds of us were sleep deprived, the finer points of the Primus discography, Rich’s Hot weekend (seeing Hot Guts and Hot Chip on consecutive nights), folk music, bass as a solo instrument, the Bellingham music scene in relation to Seattle and to the other side of the country, listening to angry music at two-thirty in the morning, and much more, including your favorite albums of 1996 as well.

Picks this week are: Victor Wooten, Bill Fox, and The Posies
