Sunny Day Real Estate - How It Feels To Be Something On (1998)

For Trevor's pick of an album that has been around awhile, he chose Sunny Day Real Estate's third album, 1998's How It Feels To Be Something On. This is an album that played a pivotal roll in Trevor's coming of age years as he was living just outside of the band's home city of Seattle at the time he discovered it. For Shane, this was his first time listening to this album, and it was fun for both of them to share their experiences hearing and interpreting lyrics that are clearly meaningful though perhaps not always with concise meaning. Though he's heard it hundreds of times, unpacking it again with a fresh set of ears helped Trevor discover components of this album he had never explored before. Coupling that with their companion episode to this one where they got to interview members of the band themselves, this was truly a rewarding experience. Finally, at the end of the episode, Trevor reveals a surprise to Shane that made him happy...even though it might mean Shane’s going to have to do more of the episode editing in the future.
