    New Music Friday on MBE with new albums from The Strokes, Willow, and the debut from Love Spells and singles from Goldie, Barry Can't Swim, Eels and The Avalanches say hello with a new track featuring Karen O . We also have our last box at the bowl giveaway for an incredible night of afro-cuban salsa with Ruben Blades and Silvana Estrada. And we celebrate the 30th anniversary of an iconic debut album, whose creator was only 18 at the time.
