Today we pay tribute to KCRW’s former music librarian and DJ Eric J. Lawrence, who passed away yesterday and whose indefatigable passion left an indelible mark both on the airwaves and within the halls of KCRW. We share a sampling of his critical reflections, hottest takes, and favorite music, including discussion of baroque pop, remixing Bowie with Fol Chen, experimentation with Animal Collection, and a classic set wrap-up from 2018… And of course, The Fall.
