We planned this small tribute so far ahead that we lost track of it when it rolled around. But it is worth noting that on June 5, 1992 -- twenty years ago last month -- Boston's own Drop Nineteens released their full-length debut Delaware on Caroline. An impossibly important record for us, on par with Ride's Nowhere and, well, a lot of other things that came out between 1990 and 1993 or so, when all the important records came out (LOLzy LOLzy ha ha ha wink wink). Or so it seemed at the time. This cover shot still pretty much exists, and every time we drive by it in

Hell yeah.
The storefront from that album cover still exists in the South End. I compulsively tracked it down when I first moved to Boston and took my own shot... need to find that on a hard drive somewhere.
ooohh....was always curious about this....sounds like I gotta have it!!
Thanks for the correction, Brad. Clearly it's been a few years since I've been by the old shoppe!
