On this day thirty-two years ago a DJ named Michelle hosted the five hundred fifty-fourth edition of Maximum Rocknroll Radio. To be fair, Michelle likely recorded the edition some days before, but it was broadcast on cool stations across this great land (and other greater lands) on November 27, 1992, which is this day (but thirty-two years ago). Heavy on the garage rock bangers, with a sprinkling of modern sounds du jour - ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, TRASHWOMEN, GENBAKUKAIDAN, MUMMIES, DC BEGGARS, SENZA BENZA and even a PENNYWISE tune that sounds decidedly not sucky in context. It was 1992 man....we couldn't see into the future. Yet. Remember when we were excited to protest Clinton because at least he hadn't started bombing Iraqi civilians? Yeah....that was cool.
