Happy Fathers Day! A bunch of dudes from our favorite 80s/90s bands from the are dads now, but they can still rock as hard as ever (we’re looking at you Eddie Vedder).

Well, 1998 was a pretty damn good year for music.

Riot Fest’s lineup was announced this week, so it’s only fitting that we dive into the songs of the bands on the bill. Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MORRISSEY!

Brian has a bunch of vintage alternative music for you, including some fav songs from The Cure, PJ Harvey, and R.E.M.

This week, it would have been impossible to have a 80s/90s playlist without including Prince.

Thom Yorke said this Radiohead song isn’t great, but we beg to differ…hear it and more on this old-school-alternative playlist.

Before you see Red Hot Chili Peppers & Radiohead headline this year’s Lolla, listen to some favorites from their back-catalog.

You lost an hour due to daylight savings, so here’s the closest you can get to a time machine: old school alternative from the likes of New Order, Sinead O’Conner, Depeche Mode & more.

Peruse the songs Brian played on Alt_Backspace this week, then let us know your favorites.

What better way to celebrate Feb 14th than with Brian and a song by “My Bloody Valentine”?
