But "comforting" doesn't mean "unchallenging." We talk about how we first encountered the band and listen to a few songs together.

Jake Amster and Matthew Amster-Burton, two Seattle music nerds and brothers, start with a great 90s album (pop, alternative, hip hop, R&B, and more) and see where it takes them. ABOUT THE SHOW

Once a month, brothers Jake Amster (superstar) and Matthew Amster-Burton (author, podcaster, guitarist, and vocalist) sit down to talk about a comforting album or single from the 90s. These are albums and s

ingles that trigger nostalgia--the "hidden jukebox" inside our heads--but also hold up as great music. Sometimes we have a guest come on to talk about one of their 90s favorites. We listen to indie darlings and #1 hits, in genres from pop to hip hop to R&B to alternative rock and more. Every month on Hidden Jukebox, revisit an old favorite--or find a new one.

The titans of grunge come together this month on Hidden Jukebox. Right before Seattle’s big four hit the mainstream, a small side project was put together to pay tribute to the late Andrew Wood of Mother Love Bone.
