The second in a series of Toucher & Hardy musical primers, this 90s alt playlist will bring you back to the days of Docs and flannel.
My name is Adam 12, Executive Producer of the Toucher & Hardy show, weekday mornings from 6-10 on 98.5 the Sports Hub. I have a handful of responsibilities that come along with that role. One of said responsibilities is the music.
I’m a music fan first and foremost, so I’ve been putting a lot of thought and effort into picking the songs that, for all intents and purposes, soundtrack the show every morning. Quite a few of you have noticed that effort and reached out.
90s Alt Playlist: Music Drives Us
Your reaching out has resulted in my most recent undertaking: posting playlists of the songs you hear on Toucher & Hardy. I started with this hip hop playlist, packed with Golden Age gems and some newer tracks you might not be wise to.
Next, we rock. Because that’s something that Fred, Hardy and I all have in common. We three spent time in alternative rock radio in the 90s, so there’s plenty of common ground and shared experiences there. Too many stories. Too many forgotten nights.
90s Alt Playlist: No Poseurs Here
If my hip hop playlist leaned more Fred, this one leans more Hardy. Sure, there’s stuff we all dig here. But as I’ve mentioned before, the name of the game is using tunes to put my hosts in the right headspace. And I know what my guy Hardy likes.
I hope you like it, too. I’m starting with 12 songs, of course. Maybe I’ll come back with another 12 another time. It’s 90s alt rock, after all; I could easily drop 1200 on you. I do have quite a bit of expertise.
