Here's another earworm from one of my 90s musical care packages. It's an adorably Millenial tribute to the Partridge Family.

RIYL: Lo-fi, guitar pop, twee stuff.

I was in a long-distance relationship with the Program Director of a Canadian radio station in the 90s, and I would get regular parcels full of promotional CDs from her, and I would listen to every single one of them. Every so often, a song from one of them will get lodged in my head.

This is tonight's.

Look what turns 30 today …

Born on a Pirate Ship is the third studio album by Barenaked Ladies, released on March 19, 1996. The album is well-known fof "The Old Apartment" and fan favorites "Shoe Box" (featured on the Friends soundtrack), "When I Fall," and "Break Your Heart." Oh, and the old schoolyard trick of holding your cheeks out and saying, "I was born on a pirate ship." #barenakedladies #bornonapirateship #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #90srock…

We have a couple of The Smashing Pumpkins birthdays to celebrate today! Happy birthday to Billy Corgan (1967) and Melissa Auf der Maur (1972).

Melissa’s best known for Hole, but she toured with Smashing Pumpkins in 2000, so she counts. 🎸 😀

Elastica

Elastica's debut album turns 30 today ... released March 14, 1995. It's the only album to feature the original line-up and lead guitarist Donna Matthews. Four singles from the album propelled it to over 1M in sales worldwide .. 500K here in America alone. The breakthrough ear-worm was "Connection" which automatically requires a "turn it up" whenever played. #elastica #90srock #altrock #alternativerock #rockmusic #donnamatthews #justine Frischmann #annieholland…

Sometimes I wanna take you down
Sometimes I wanna get you Low
Brush your hair back from your eyes
Take you down let the river flow

Pilgrim

Slowhand releases his 13th on March 10, 1998 ... his first collection of entirely new studio material since 1989's Journeyman. It includes "My Father's Eyes" -- a poignant song about the father Clapton never met. It became a hit and won him a Grammy. #ericclapton #slowhand #pilgrim #90smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #90srock #rock #rockmusic #bluesrock
