Moving into my dorm at college in 1992, I was greeted by my new roommate, and his music collection. I had already been a DJ for a few years, and had a sizable collection, but he introduced me to another side of the musical spectrum: Alternative rock...and that voice. This amazing voice that belted from his bookshelf speakers. I'd never heard something like it. "You like it? It's 10,000 Maniacs." I just needed to know who she was. Natalie Merchant. My crush was born....
This mix is a few 90s Alternative rock, dorm-room favorites of mine....
