Friday Clock Out presents:
Says LJ:
The debut album from South London’s
Dry Cleaning was released by 4AD records back in April. I gave their album a listen on the recommendation of one of my closest music friends. When I heard the detached chilly spoken-word vocals on the first track, I thought “man, it would be great if this were the whole album.” And, it is!
I’ve been the alternate host for Phil for a while now, in part because there is a lot of sympatico between our music tastes. If I had to guess what new releases Phil was digging, I would have guessed the Dry Cleaning debut. It looks like I called that one. Phil has been spinning tracks from the record since it came out. And I will as well.
I’ll also play a couple of unexpectedly prog-rock oriented songs from the new Matt Sweeney &
Bonnie Prince Billy album, Superwolves, a follow-up 16 years in the offing from their first.

End Of The Century presents:
Today, from 3 to 5 p.m., L.J. hosts End of the Century!
When L.J. last hosted, he stopped at 1982, so this show is going to be all 1983!
1983 is a fascinating year for music as we see the pop landscape fragment into a lot of different directions and new genres develop their tropes. Some of the heavy hitters in 1983: #Eurythmics! #Madonna! #Metallica! #NewOrder! #ZZTop! #ThePolice!
