In this episode, I’m joined by my friend; artist, musician & 1997 expert Michael McGregor to discuss…1997, obviously. We chat about what we were each up to, and then dig into Mike’s 2017 research project where he fully immersed himself in the year 1997.
Topics include:
- Mike going to 45 Bar and Bats, which is a lot.
- Katie wearing a slutty cat costume for Halloween, which is a lot.
- The news: the Internet, Dolly the Sheep, Deep Blue, Princess Diana, Heaven’s Gate, inventions & introductions (including auto tune!), the Kyoto Accord
- Births & Deaths
- TV, Movies and Music - Ally McBeal ftw, our hearts go on and on about Titanic & how unfair it was to have Elliot Smith perform before Celine Dion, Columbia House, and what seeing Daft Punk & Aphex Twin premiere on MTV back to back will do to a young boy’s brain (spoiler: it blows it).
- We also talk about how good Hanson is, when the Spice Girls met Nelson Mandela, Korn, what’s up in Pop Music & how special and free this time was.
As always, thanks for listening!
