In our latest
installment of
Friendly Fire, Viva
Radio goes back in
time to a place
called the 90s with
listener fave
Ryan Creed.
Ryan’s 120
Minutes, Forever
hit Viva’s virtual
airwaves a little
over a year ago
bringing a
Tsunami of
Lush songs
from the Sub Pop
fueled / Alternative
Nation era of our
Sonic Youth.
Here’s a portion of
that interview and
more after the jump.

Viva Radio:
Being a child of the
’80s, and spending
my more formative
years in the ’90s, I
can’t say enough
about your efforts
to keep the music
alive. How old are
you?

Ryan Creed:
OK, I have something
embarrassing to
admit – I’m 28,
which technically
makes me Generation
Y! I know, I know…
but my Gen X older
sister indoctrinated
me with riot grrrl
and Pavement at a
very early age.
That’s probably why
I idealize the ’90s
more than an actual
Gen X’er; I was too
sheltered from the
reality of those
heady Identity
Politics days. Of
course if I was a
Gen X’er I’d
probably have AIDS
by 28, which I don’t
say to be funny, but
just to put in
perspective about
how not everything
in the ’90s were as
wonderful as I
remember
them.
