Fri 1/25/13: Jan 1994

not much better than Renee's '93 set. Nirvana (LN1), Crowded House, Sideshow Bob gives us "Mr Jones" again (WOS1, LN2), SmashPumps are disarming (LN3).

Cry of Love (who?) doing "Bad Thing" is NTM.

BOSFRA "Day in the Sun" -- another of Frampton's attempted comebacks.

Like some junkie cosmonaut: "Low", like "Mr Jones" is legal in both '93 and '94, I guess. LN4.

God, sometimes you just don't come thru: I mean, you let Tori Amos get on the radio with her "Kate Bush lite" shtick. WTF?  WOS2.

uber-LN5: I'm hearing "Loser", baby -- so why don't ya kill me?

WOS3 Aerosmith, "Deuces Are Wild", rarity tho' it may be.
