Joe Strummer’s “London Calling” - A KMUW Summer Special
July 11th through August 29th in the Global Village time slot:
Fridays at 9 p.m. on KMUW, FM 89.1 and at midnight, 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. on KMUW HD2 (listen online at kmuw.org)
Between 1998 and 2001, Joe Strummer recorded a series of radio shows for the BBC World Service. Highlighted his wide-ranging tastes and inspirations, the programs offered a wildly eclectic mix of music, from roots rock to reggae, classic jazz to emerging world music, folk, soul, early hip-hop and more.
Fridays throughout the summer, KMUW brings you an eight-part special, London Calling, featuring Strummer’s original shows. The series, hosted by Jon Langford of the Mekons and Waco Brothers, opens and closes with a look at Strummer’s life and work, and in between showcases Strummer spinning his favorites while serving as a charming guide and energetic booster for the music and performers.
With a range and diversity of sounds you’ve come to expect from KMUW and programs like Global Village and World Café,London Calling is a perfect fit with KMUW’s eclectic weeknight music programs and a great addition for summer music listening.
