    It’s rare when music can be both intense and fun simultaneously, but in the Spring of 1993, something was in the air.

    Most, if not all, of the albums featured in this program exhibit the rare quality of conveying intensity disguised with indifference or lightheartedness, and the combination is quite effective. It doesn’t always work (David Bowie’s album in particular continued to suffer from comparisons with his earlier work) but it always made for interesting listening.

    Featured tracks include;

    1) Wished I Was a Giant – Guided By Voices (‘Vampire on Titus’)

    2) Wondering Boy Poet – Guided By Voices (‘Vampire on Titus’)

    3) Non-Absorbing – Guided By Voices (‘Vampire on Titus’)

    4) You’ve Been Around -David Bowie (‘Black Tie White Noise’)

    5) Soul and Fire – Sebadoh (‘Bubble and Scrape’)

    6) Two Years, Two Days – Sebadoh (‘Bubble and Scrape’)

    7) Rid of Me - P.J. Harvey (‘Rid of Me’)

    8) I Should’ve Known – Aimee Mann (‘Whatever’)

    9) Stupid Thing – Aimee Mann (‘Whatever’)
