This time we head back to 1993. Grunge and alt-rock were king. If you were around, you were likely wearing Doc Martins and flyin' the flannel! Bill Clinton became president, as well.


Nirvana recorded their follow up to Nevermind in our neck of the woods at Pachyderm in Canon Falls. It was called In Utero and featured this...




The Flaming Lips had a hit...




Uncle Tupelo made their swan song...

This time it's 1962 on Time Machine Tuesday. The year of nehru jackets, slip-n-slides, surfin' and everybody was doing the twist. Oddly enough clarinetist Acker Bilk had one of the top songs of they year with his easy listening hit, "Stranger on the Shore." But, there was also some pretty great instrumental from Dick Dale and Booker T and the MG had their classic, "Green Onions"





Also in 1962, the Beach Boys were just getting started!

For this episode of Time Machine it's all about 1973! It was the year of the original "gate" scandal, Watergate! The "pet rock," was all the rage. Never did figure that one out!

There was also music, and lots of it, from reggae, to funk, to rock and glam! Some rockers chose to dress like ladies...like the New York Dolls!

The reggae music was funky in 1973. Check out the footage in this Toots and the Maytals classic!

You'll also hear73 classics from Dylan, Stevie Wonder, & Bob Marley!

Listen

Welcome to Time Machine Tuesday. This week I'lll be taking the way back machine to 1965. The hills were alive with the sound of music in 65! It was of the year of the British Invasion. A banner year for The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, & The Who.

It wasn't just the invasion. It was an exciting time on this side of the pond as well. Motown was going strong, great soul music was everywhere, Dylan was now electric and creating music at an unbelievable pace. John Coltrane and Nina Simone were at the top of their game.

We'll hear all that and more at 10pm on the Time Machine, as we bounce all over 1965, just like the Super Ball that was introduced that year!

The Beatles "If I Needed Someone"

the Who "The Kids Are Alright"

Wilson Pickett "In the Midnight Hour"

Happy Valentine's Day from 89.3 The Current!

This week the time machine is going back to the 80s. That's right, the year 1988 is the focus. Join your host Bill DeVille for a trip back in time to an era when synth-driven rock tunes ruled the airwaves and nobody cared about fuel efficiency. Those were the days...

It's all on Time Machine Tuesday, every Tuesday night at 10 o'clock on 89.3 The Current.

Welcome to Time Machine Tuesday with your host Bill DeVille. This week in the time machine he'll be taking you all the way back to 1959, our oldest year yet explored!

It was a great year and we've got all the highlights here. It was the year of the Buddy Holly plane crash, which claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper. The year wasn't all bad though.

Rock 'n Roll was on top, Chuck Berry was still a free man, and jazz was becoming more and more accessible, making it a great year in music history. You can catch it all at 10 pm on Tuesday nights, on 89.3 The Current.

Join Bill this Tuesday in traveling back in time to the year 1972. Do you remember where you were when the Watergate Scandal broke out? Or how about the premiere of The Godfather? What about the introduction of video gaming, with the classic arcade game Pong? 1972 may have been just another year but we're going to give it just a little more time to shine! Yes, it was quite eventful so make sure you don't miss out on this opportunity to look back fondly upon all of those things you forgot about: Carol King in her prime, the first season of M*A*S*H, sitting on top of your dad's station wagon singing "American Pie" at the top of your lungs, even though you only knew the first two verses. Those were the good old days...but you'll have to tune in tonight for the full experience of traveling back in time.

To help you get into the mood, get a little funky with the O'Jays:
