EP 50. Once Upon a Time in Nirvana

One word: flamethrower!
Keith's erstwhile bandmate Darin is back to discuss his musical youth including forays deep into the heart of late 80s/early 90s raves (err, acid house) in LA, and how that set him on the path of enlightenment to find Nirvana.
Darin then shares the emotional side of music as he recounts the tension and release of Sigur Ros and an intimate Peter Murphy gig, which somehow devolves into Keith and Steve talking about their wedding playlists!
And no podcast would be complete without a trip into the Hollywood Hills to meet Trent Reznor, Flood and Marilyn Manson. All it took were a couple of...well, you just need to tune into this very special episode of The New Dad Rock.
PS Happy Birthday Darin!
