Ah, Oct. 5, 1993. We remember it well. There was magic in the air. MAGNET had just published its second issue. It was the eve of our beloved and beleaguered Phillies playing post-season baseball for the first time in a decade. A six-pack of beer still cost less than six bucks. And the indie-rock gods and goddesses saw fit to allow these albums (listed alphabetically) to be released that day, Super Tuesday:
The Afghan Whigs’ Gentlemen
Mazzy Star’s So Tonight That I Might See
Redd Kross’ Phaseshifter
Swervedriver’s Mezcal Head
Teenage Fanclub’s Thirteen
Uncle Tupelo’s Anodyne
Yo La Tengo’s Painful
