UKNY For January 6

A look back at some favorite singles and albums of 2018 on UKNY tonight at 11, from Our Girl, IDLES, Young Fathers, Simian Mobile Disco, Switzerland's Sophie Hunger and others that made my Best of 2018 picks (plus some that didn't). It's been a challenging few weeks, so I'm a tad late on wrapping up the business of the past year (it feels like it never quite went away).

Also, a set for a beloved friend, who left far too soon.

If Sunday nights are too late for you, catch up to UKNY in the Weekend Archives.
