Kevin Cole: Mavis Staples, Charli XCX, Manon meurt

In Our Headphones

The great Kevin Cole talks about his “remix, not retirement,” as he steps down from Drive Time at the end of this week and transitions to a weekly show, starting in August. Plus, he shares songs from a Civil Rights legend, a pop music “it girl,” and an unclassifiable band from the Czech Republic.

Then, KEXP Music Director Chris Sanley shares a chaotic, yet melodic track from an Austin art-punk band.

1. Mavis Staples - “Worthy”
2. Charli XCX - “360"
3. Manon meurt - “Marrow”
4. Television - “Marquee Moon”
5. Font - “It”

Listen to the full songs on KEXP's "In Our Headphones 2024" playlist on Spotify or the “What's In Our Headphones” playlist on YouTube.

Starting in late August, you can listen to Kevin Cole in his new slot every Sunday 3-6pm PT, or anytime on the two-week archive, at KEXP.org or the KEXP App.
