End Of The Century presents:
1988 was A VERY BAD YEAR for a lot of artists. But also, a very good year for hip hop, industrial, metal and Leonard Cohen.
Today, LJ will be hosting End of the Century!
In his continuing survey of the years 1975 to 1999, he has reached the year 1988!
1988 was A VERY BAD YEAR for a lot of artists. But also, a very good year for hip hop, industrial, metal and Leonard Cohen.
He’ll take a look at a lot of the good and some of the bad as I put 1988 in to context.
