Today, LJ will be hosting Friday Clock Out w/ Phil D. !
He’ll be spinning a few songs from the new Anika album, Change! Anika first debuted with her self titled solo album back in 2010. That album was produced by Geoff Barrow (from Portishead) and used Beak> as her backing band. And, as you might guess from those credentials, her debut sounded too cool for school. Or, like it existed in a world far cooler than our usual day-to-day. How does the new album sound? Let’s find out!

End Of The Century presents:
Picking up with 1981 and 1982 (L.J. Hosts)
When I hosted End of the Century four weeks ago, I focused on 1975 to 1981. I’m picking up with 1981 and 1982 for this show. I’m also slowing my roll a little; trying to choose a few songs from each year between 1975 and 1980 proved to be too ambitious. So, I’m just looking at two years, and maybe dipping my toe into 1983.
