International Space Year

International Space Year, 1992, was a year-long, worldwide celebration of space cooperation and discovery. TMBG was selected by NASA as "Musical Ambassador" for ISY.

John Linnell: "We're not actually the official band or anything, but we were asked to represent International Space Year when we went to NASA to get a graphic for the record jacket (Apollo 18). That's how we got picked. They found out we were in a band and were tourning the world in 1992 and they asked us if we could help promote International Space Year because it seemed like we had some kind of a space theme on our record. So we said "Sure!" and basically, it's just meant for us that we say it in our press kit with a little logo on the back of the record. But we don't have a lot of information about it, I don't think most people have heard that this is International Space Year." (Rumpus Magazine, October, 1992).
