FLASHBACK FRIDAY SAY IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY

Flashback Friday: Super Tuesday (Oct. 5, 1993) … Afghan Whigs, Mazzy Star, Redd Kross, Swervedriver, Teenage Fanclub, Uncle Tupelo And Yo La Tengo

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
