I continued delving into recent standout albums from Foals, Weyes Blood, Billie Eilish and Karen O and Danger Mouse on the show this week, while the retro alternative set remembered Kurt Cobain on the 25th anniversary of his death with a block of songs from 1991, the year of Nirvana’s breakthrough album “Nevermind.”

I continued delving into recent albums from Stella Donnelly, Foals, Jenny Lewis and Chai on the show this week, while the retro alternative set honored recent Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees Roxy Music, The Cure and Radiohead by showcasing some of their best deep cuts (and I threw in a little Talk Talk/Scott Walker tribute while I was at it!)

The music release schedule really kicked into gear over the last week, as I debuted new tracks from Shura, Holly Herndon, M83 and The Chemical Brothers on the show, while the retro alternative set focused on classic tracks from the year 1986.

I continued delving into new releases from Methyl Ethel, Health and Ladytron on the show this week, while the retro alternative set ventured back to the late ’90s for a block of big beat-era electronica in honor of The Prodigy’s Keith Flint, who died last week at the age of 49.

I delved deeper into recent releases from Better Oblivion Community Center, Methyl Ethel and Ladytron on the show this week, while the retro alternative set marked the passing of Talk Talk’s brilliant frontman Mark Hollis with a block of his tunes along with a few acts clearly inspired by his efforts to take rock music into new, unexplored territory.

I continued to explore new releases from James Blake, Better Oblivion Community Center and Ladytron on the show this week, while the retro alternative set looked back at album closers from classic ’90s releases, inspired by the odd story of how a 25-year-old Dinosaur Jr. album track suddenly became a top 20 hit in Japan in recent weeks.

I continued delving into recent releases from Maggie Rogers, Sharon Van Etten, James Blake and Sunflower Bean on this week’s show, while the retro set featured a selection of standout Beatles covers from alternative rock acts.
