| Music That Matters, Vol. 66 - Geezerfest Northwest Podcast | For two days in late August of 2007, more than a dozen northwest bands from Seattle's legendary "grunge" heyday reunited and played to enthusiastic, and eventually very tired, old fans. Lifetime local music fan and current host of KEXP's NW music show Audioasis, Abe Beeson took this as inspiration to spin 10 classic cuts from bands of this era that aren't Mudhoney, Nirvana, Soundgarden or Queensryche for a podcast that'll have you pulling out the flannel and digging in to your own stack of 7" vinyl treasures.
The ten bands on this not-"grunge" podcast span the gamut of ultra-cool basement recordings of (in many cases) forgotten local geniuses.
1. Swallow - Zoo
2. Seaweed - Inside
3. Skin Yard - Start at the Top
4. Mono Men - Burning Bush
5. Beat Happening - The This Many Boyfriends Club
6. Girl Trouble - When Opposites Attract
