Jan 6, 2026

KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977. On today's show, we traveled to Ghana to hear the debut album from Florence Adooni and celebrate the 90th birthday of Ebo Taylor, connected cowboy themes between Portishead and Geese, and headed across the pond for new work from Dry Cleaning, Gorillaz, and the critically-acclaimed new album from Lily Allen. Plus, we gave away tickets to see Jeff Tweedy at the United Theater on Broadway.
