NASA's space shuttle program came to an end yesterday with the landing of space shuttle Atlantis in Florida.  It's picture perfect landing ended America's 30 year space shuttle program.  I am sure bigger things are to come in the next decade though.  As I was looking through YouTube at some of the pics and videos M|A|R|R|S showed up - I thought it was rather strange UNTIL I watched the video!

Blind Melon began in 1989 in California but it would take the band 4 years to reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.  It happened in 1993 with  "No Rain" from their self titled album.  Then tragedy struck the band in 1995 when lead singer Shannon Hoon died from a cocaine overdose.  The band would continue with a new lead vocalist but would end up leaving the band a couple of years lat

I was turned on to The Cure when I was working at Six Flags and they became one of my favorite groups in the late 80's.  The Cure is fronted by Robert Smith and has been since the band got together in 1976 with some of his school buddies.

When I made today's selection for the Mix 93-1 Retro Video of the Day, Cyndi Lauper just popped in my head and the first song was "She Bop".  This was a rather interesting video as it starts out in a burger joint, then goes "catoonish" and then she's in front of a judge and then on a broadway style stage!

Mix 93-1 is rockin' out this weekend with the Mix 93-1 Retro Video from Pearl Jam!  Today I've selected the video for "Jeremy".  Pearl Jam has just announced that they'll be on tour of South and Central America later this summer and watch for Eddie Vedder to be the musical guest on the Late Show With David Letterman coming up Monday night.  Enjoy the video after the jump.

One of the first New Wave bands on the scene, OMD (or Orchestral Manoeuvers In The Dark) got their start in 1978 and is most notably know for their song "If You Leave".  The band has been through some tough times, but the original members are back together and touring!  Look for OMD to be in Dallas at the House Of Blues on Tuesday, October 11th.  Catch the Mix 93-1 Retro Video after the
