2018-01-1534 minHidden JukeboxEpisode 3: Celebrity Skin
Hole, Celebrity Skin, 1998.
We take a deeper look at ourselves while listening to this 1998 classic. If this album is considered by some to be a "guilty pleasure," we clearly don't have any guilt about it. This was a foundational soundtrack to our 90's SoCal lives. From hanging with dolphins at the beach and midnight jaunts to the "Rock n' Roll Ralph's" grocery store to being trapped in college life in the valley, this summery, power pop, ironic album speaks to a particular GenX sensibility like nothing else.

Spilled MilkEpisode 188: BlueberriesToday, blueberries are gracing us with their presence, much as we are gracing your eardrums. Whoever said chivalry was dead hasn't met Matthew Amster-Burton, who always give fair warning when throwing garbage out the window. We are chatting size preferences, high bush vs low bush, mixtapes and Amadeus. EXPLICIT. www.spilledmilkpodcast.com

Spilled MilkEpisode 89: OnionsIf there are no onions involved, is it really cooking? Molly's Polish grandmother says no. If you don't have a Polish grandmother, this episode makes a good substitute. Molly and Matthew peel back the layers, have a good cry, talk shopping and chopping, and basically treat the supermarket onion display like their personal ball crawl. Recipes: Onion Tart, Supper Onion Pie. EXPLICIT. spilledmilkpodcast.com
