It was back to 1993 this week and it sounded even better than the first time around with terrific contributions from Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair and Urge Overkill (who helped make Chicago the center of the Alternative Rock universe back then.) We also enjoyed fabulous contributions from Irish rockers like Van Morrison, Hothouse Flowers, the Cranberries and U2 to help us celebrate St. Patrick's Day weekend (2019). (The Celtic muse said it was OK to be anachronistic during a festive time.) Lin Brehmer reminded us what TV shows we were watching before they became reruns and everyone had a wonderful trip back to the nineties. Here's the playlist:
