Total Destruction in Cargo Shorts
This week Ryan is joined by Eric D, the mind behind Meth Syndicate. They discuss one of the staples of 1990’s television advertising: “Pure Moods.” What began as a compilation of the most cutting edge music the easy listening genre had to offer ended as a minor footnote in popular culture.

The Culture Dumps team (along with guest Audra Isadora) gears up for the most celebrated women’s music festival of all time, Lilith Fair! What started as the brain child of Sarah McLachlan and ended as a now forgotten chapter in popular music has just as many layers to the story one would expect from a Culture Dump. Girls to the front!

In their final report from the grounds of Woodstock 99, Parks and Ryan uncover one of the most horrifying incidents of the entire weekend as well as shed some light on what happened after everyone was booted from the festival grounds. While this episode in many ways could be considered our heaviest, there is also a very pleasant surprise at the end worth sitting through all of the arrest reports and evil-doers you will learn about. Also, it is our 40th episode, certainly a milestone.

We have reached the inevitable climax of Woodstock 99. This episode was so juicy we had to split it in two. We have some major bombs to drop on you, a third promoter, a secret stage, hard numbers on some of the financial losses, and lazer tag! NOTE: We delayed the release of this episode in order to give more attention to the civil rights crisis our country is facing. We felt it would be best to not share an episode about riots while there was actual riots happening outside on the streets of our cities for greater reasons than bottled water prices. Enjoy.

We have reached the final act of Woodstock 99. We have reached the final Legend of Woodstock 99. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the influential bands of the 1990’s if not of all time and their set at Woodstock 99 does not disappoint, especially if you are a fan of fire and male nudity.
