Remembering KCRW Music’s Eric J. Lawrence: His life and work

Eric was a DJ and GM at UCLA Radio, an internet station that attracted a set of students who could outdo each other with the most obscure band knowledge.

He started as a volunteer in the ‘90s, becoming an indispensable part of the music library. Then he became our professor. That turned into a job and a weekly show, Dragnet, where his music taste ran the gamut from popular to esoteric to the “criminally overlooked.” EJL knew it all — genres, artists, music movements, albums, labels. -- KCRW
