BRITISH POST-PUNK on the Thursday Night Feature, Thursday 9 p.m.-midnight.
On this week's TNF, we'll explore the first five years of post-punk, the 
music that blossomed in the United Kingdom after bands such as the Sex 
Pistols, the Clash, X-Ray Spex and the Adverts sent a battering ram 
through the social and musical establishment of the time, finally making 
good on the promises of the Stooges, New York Dolls, T. Rex and Roxy 
Music. Specifically, we'll be hearing from about 20 bands that, for myriad 
reasons, never became legends in this wildly creative scene; everybody 
knows Joy Division and Wire, but what about Essential Logic, the Sound and 
Desperate Bycycles? The goal is to provide something new for even the most 
hip listener, so tune in Thursday night for a three-hour sampling of
angular goodness.

Various Artists, "MALI LOLO! STARS OF MALI" on the Inside Track, Friday 9 p.m.
A splendid little grab bag of popular music from contemporary Mali, 
featuring figureheads like Ali Farka Toure with Afel Bocoum, Oumou 
Sangare, Toumani Diabate and Ballake Sissoko, Super Rail Band and others 
ever reinventing the tradition. Out on Smithsonian Folkways.

LAURA NYRO, "Gonna Take A Miracle" on the Classic Inside Track, Sunday 2 p.m.
On this week's Classic Inside Track, enjoy pop pleasure in its purest form 
from the most criminally neglected member of the late 60s/early 70s female 
singer-songwriter club that also included Carole King, Joni Mitchell, and 
Judee Sill. Like them, Laura Nyro combines lyricism and musicianship with 
a tart yet sweet sensuality, a mix that legions of latter-day imitators 
have failed to capture. On 1971's "Gonna Take A Miracle," Nyro teams up 
with soul trio Labelle (of disco-comp staple "Lady Marmalade") for covers 
of pop classics from her childhood in the Bronx. (description by Amy
