Hear me talk about the legendary ‘Deep Six’ compilation, then enter to win it on vinyl!



To mark the paperback release of Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge (buy it now!), I called in to the Dig Me Out podcast to discuss Deep Six, the legendary 1986 compilation that documented the burgeoning Seattle sound we now call grunge. Listen to the show for details on how to win a sealed, original vinyl pressing of the album (note: that’s a used copy, not the actual prize, in the photo above). Many thanks to Deep Six producer Chris Hanzsek for providing this wonderful prize.
