It’s a steamy Florida night, and it marks the debut of Julius C. Lacking on the airwaves of WFIT, a university radio station in Melbourne, Florida. The random nature of the playlist is born of a catastrophic home furnishing disaster that hopelessly jumbled the contents of the vaunted Lacking Selection, the music library which Julius has been aggregating for the last twenty years. The process of its re-cataloging and collation, which promises to last decades, will henceforth be known as The Lacking Organization. Let it begin.

In this episode: 1990s, A Big Yes + A Small No, Andrea Perry, The Anubian Lights, The Awkward Stage, Black Francis, Blue Skies for Black Hearts, Boss Hogg, The Dansettes, David Garza, Downtown Harvest, Elis Regina, Erin McKeown, The Flamenco A Go Go, G Love + Special Sauce, Global Goon, Golden Shoulders, Head of Femur, The Hush Sound, James Taylor Quartet, Kinky, LD + the New Criticism, Madness, Monsieur LeRoc, Moore Brothers, Niños Con Bombas, OK GO, Railroad Jerk, Robb Benson, Stereo Total, Three Mile Pilot, Titan, Trespassers W, Westbound Train
