Back in 1994 I was surfing the burgeoning internet for over a year already. No way you could get streaming music then, heck, you couldn't even copy music illegally unless you went to the library. My source of music were friends and magazines like Humo and RifRaf. Once in a while I would get hold of the New Music Express (NME), a source of all things new an exciting at that time. By that time, grunge and alternative music were well established and NME offered a sneak preview of new bands and albums through cassettes that came with magazine. For some odd reason I still remember NME C30. Maybe because of the following list of songs on it?
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Suck My Kiss
Green Day - Basket Case
The Jesus & Mary Chain - Dirty Water
Babylon Zoo - Parallel Lines
Shane MacGowan - The Church Of The Holy Spook
Dinosaur Jr - Feel The Pain
Candlebox - Far Behind
Biohazard - State Of The World Address
Electrafixion - Zephyr (The Basement Tape)
Sadly all my epic cassettes went in the trash when my cassette deck died in the early 2000s.
From all these I bring you Babylon Zoo, because this song can't be found on Spotify? Why? It is way better than Spaceman!
