For the first week of Sages of the Ages, hosts Alex and Castor are stranded in the year 1998. This year brings you tracks from the likes of Massive Attack, Neutral Milk Hotel, and The Offspring. They also bring you the latest in the ongoing Bill Clinton scandal and England's disappointment at the FIFA World Cup.
At a time where most everything seems pretty irrelevent hoping these tunes will provide a little solace. Stay in, stay safe and be good to one another. See you next week.
