Rob Harvilla of "60 Songs that Explain the 90's" with SPIN's Daniel Kohn (Special bonus episode)

On this special holiday episode of Lipps Service, Scott sits down with music critic and 60 Songs That Explain The ‘90s podcast host Rob Harvilla and SPIN editorial director Daniel Kohn! Rob has been a professional music journalist for over 20 years, is currently a senior staff writer at The Ringer — and is a life-long ‘90s music fanatic. The three music geeks get into Rob’s upbringing, his stint writing for SPIN in the mid-2000s, his growing up in Ohio and the state’s music scene, and his podcast and new book of the same name. They also talk about Rob’s detailed memory of the era, all three of their stories of first listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” including some takes on some of the best bands, songs, and albums of the ‘90s — including Third Eye Blind, Pinkerton, “Wonderwall,” Nine Inch Nails, and Courtney Love. They also dive into what they miss about the pre-internet music era and its listening formats, debate if Die Hard is a Christmas movie, reminisce on the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, and, of course, they wrap up the conversation with some “Top 5s.” Tune in for a music-trivia-filled chat, some debate, and a very nostalgic episode with Rob Harvilla and Daniel Kohn!
