Fri 6/14/13: June 1992

TANC! compare & contrast to RR's set yesterday.

XTC "Peter Pumpkinhead"
L7 "Pretend We're Dead"
Spin Doctors "Little Miss can't Be Wrong"
Del Amitri "Always the Last to Know"
Nirvana "Lithium"
Little Village, "Solar Sex Panel"
J&MC "Far Gone & out"
Indigo Girls "Galileo"
Black Crowes "Sting Me"
Cure "Friday I'm in Love"

OK, I wasn't a fan of Renee's set yesterday (tho' some here were) but this one is no better. Why is the pool of interesting songs so small in the '90s?
