L.A Riots, 80's Soundtrack Songs, and Australian Drum and Bass
Welcome to the first Episode of The Tim Gavin Show.
This week we look at the music that was inspired by the Los Angeles Riots of 1992. Such a complicated and intense part of the 90's that sparked a lot of social commentary in music in the months that followed. Still a few aspects I didn't end up covering, but still deserve your attention too.
NOTE: With all the unrest around the Murder of George Floyd and the protests happening around the US. I want to use this platform to help change things for the better. This protest happened for the same reasons the L.A Riots did back in 1992. Because of corruption, and while I didn't go in depth on this podcast I encourage you to become more engaged, examine what went down for yourself, and be a part of the change for the better.

After that; my buddy Scott Mitchell joins me on Zoom and we talk about what was popular around this time in 1984. We ask each other if Against All Odds by Phil Collins really deserved its Number 1 spot and what else we liked on the Billboard and RPM (Canada) singles charts.
Then I talk about one of my favorite albums; Pendulum's 2005 debut "Hold Your Colour". An album which I never hear talked about in North America, despite Pendulums popularity and acclaim around the world.
