The New Dad Rock
EP 98. Montauk Mix and UFO Flix
đď¸ Episode 98: Montauk Mix and UFO Flix
Strap in for a cosmic ride back to the Summer of '98âwhen alternative rock was maturing, Montauk was still weird and wonderful, and UFOs might have been hovering just offshore.
Steve and Keith dig through the musical treasures of 1998, spinning tracks from Neutral Milk Hotel, Elliott Smith, Mercury Rev, Beastie Boys, Sunny Day Real Estate, and more. It's the year of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, XO, Deserterâs Songs, and Hello Nastyâa golden moment when indie, emo, electronica, and even Madonna (Ray of Light!) all collided on our Walkmans and Discmen.
âď¸ Along the way:
- Summers in Montauk: sand in cassette decks, longboard surf sessions, and the quiet magic of a sleepy beach town
- The Montauk Project: time travel? psychic experiments? Stranger Things vibes years before Netflix
- Lights in the sky, rumors around bonfires, and the sweet mystery of pre-Y2K anxiety
đ¸ Expect music nerdery, heartfelt nostalgia, and just maybe a few unexplained sightings along the dunes.
Tagline: The year alt-rock grew up... and Montauk got even weirder.
Cue the mixtape, cue the conspiracy theoriesâit's Episode 98!
