UKNY For December 12
Field Music's David and Peter Brewis (courtesy of Force Field PR)
It's definitely a guilty pleasure to enjoy April-like temperatures in the middle of December, especially during the UN Climate Change conference in Paris. So, given this unusually balmy weekend, tonight's UKNY at 11 is devoted to not-so-guilty guilty pleasures, both vintage and recent.
That not-so-guilty guilty pleasure might be a new song obsession, like a perfect single courtesy of Sunderland's Field Music, or a track from a soon-to-be reissued Phil Collins album that deserves a second look, or a dazzling, 25-year-old Cocteau Twins classic. It's a night of tangents, reliable favorites, and unexpected covers and samples.
Out frolicking without a coat? You can catch up to UKNY on demand in the FUV weekend archives up to two weeks after broadcast.
