Episode 78: Synchronicity at 40 and New Music for June 2023

"Synchronicity" by The Police is a landmark (and the last) album by the power trio who burst onto the music scene in 1978. Shedding whatever new wave and ska roots the band cultivated when they started, "Synchronicity" has become an iconic record since it was released on June 17, 1983. Forty years later, Planet LP Host Ted Asregadoo and Popdose writer Keith Creighton talk about the lasting impact of "Synchronicity" in the first segment. The second segment is all about new music releases for June 2023 -- which includes music by the following: Brian May and Eddie Van Halen Foo Fighters Love and Rockets Rick Springfield Matchbox Twenty Sparkle Jets UK Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Amanda Shires Kenny Rogers Dimestore Darlings Allison Goldfrapp Niall Horan Simply Red Sparks Rancid Extreme In the third segment, Ted and Keith discuss why so many great albums sound so lousy. It's a packed episode -- but that's because we're all about value here at Planet LP.
