This week’s charts are a little thin in genres, but thick in taste. Atlanta’s Black Lips take over the top spot on the Radio 200 charts with their wild garage sounds. Their live show is nuts, and they’re coming to Santa Cruz’s Blue Lagoon on April 29th.

About the author
Music Director - Our music director takes more dance classes than academic classes, collects noisemakers, sups on soup in the wintertime, and still finds time to read Susan Stryker's "Transgender History" to KZSC's pet seahorse.
Dear KZSC Staff–I would like to hear more classic and retro- oldies—
the Who, Joan Armatrading, Dire Straits, Bowie, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, even INXS. Thanks for considering my input. —Laura
