Hello, Fred. Thank you, as always, for joining me here on Talk of Ages. I am happy to report

the gods of music past have once again favored us with a staggering amount of music to discuss and revisit this time around from August of 1995.

In addition to the robust lineup of old new releases you were about to enjoy here on

the free pod feed, we have an additional 19 releases, which I think warrant at least a mention

on the best of the rest. Pre-prime Ben Harper, Ben Folds, and less than Jake. Clearly this was the era in which the major

labels were handing out deals left and right. So many bands you probably heard of, heard

about, never got a round of checking out back at the time. Letters to Cleo, Rocket from the Crypt,

super suckers, Brian Jonestown Massacre, the list goes on and on and on. In addition to all of that, in my opinion, as blatant a case of music plagiarism as you will ever hear that. And so much more at my Patreon. There's so much music to talk about this time around. I'm really excited. I'm excited to be here for this show, but I'm really excited about the best of the rest. I'm going to go ahead and make a free link to that

episode. When you're done listening to this, come check out that episode for free. The link is in

the show notes at patreon.com slash Mike Tully.

Joke, you ready to start this show?

Ah, your host of the evening is a really funny dude.

I forgot his last name, but I've seen him before.

He's really funny.

Give it up from Mike.

This is Talk of Ages. I am your host, Mike Tully. Thank you,

as always, for joining me. As always, I have revisited, reviewed, and in many cases,

taken scrupulous notes on a bunch of music that was new in August of

1995 so that you, my friend, don't have to.

Lots to talk about this time around.
