LJ hosts End of the Century! Says he:
I’ve now reached to ๐๐๐๐ in my slow-drip-of-tar-pitch-paced survey of the years covered by this show.
What was going on in ’96?
Well, let’s start with the obvious: Tupac, Tu-pac, 2pac.
He was riding high from his 1995 album, ๐๐ฆ ๐๐จ๐ข๐ช๐ฏ๐ด๐ต ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ณ๐ญ๐ฅ. He went to prison, serving 8 months for sexual abuse charges. He released the hit follow up album, ๐๐ญ๐ญ ๐๐บ๐ฆ๐ป ๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐๐ฆ, in February of 1996. And, on September 13,1996, he died after being shot multiple times.
In 1996, we also see some notable band breakups:
โข The Cocteau Twins release what would end up being their last album, ๐๐ช๐ญ๐ฌ & ๐๐ช๐ด๐ด๐ฆ๐ด
โข Swans disbanded after releasing their multi-hour opus, ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ต๐ณ๐ข๐ค๐ฌ๐ด ๐ง๐ฐ๐ณ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐๐ญ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฅ. They would be resurrected 14 years later.
โข Siouxsie & The Banshees call it a day in April of 1996 with the following message:

End Of The Century presents:
End Of The Century โ Another Dose of Rock Blocks w/ LJ!
I had so much fun with the format last time, Iโm doing a Rock Blocks show again!
Ever wonder what Dolly Parton was doing from 1975 to 1999? Me too!
The last rock block show had blocks of Phil Collins, Sonic Youth, Gary Numan, Vince Clarke, etc.
This time around, I’ve got blocks from Eddy Grant, Siouxsie, Belle & Sebastian, Geoff Barrow, etc.
