LISTEN: The Big Beat 'cast 54

The recent passing of Robin Gibb, Donna Summer, and Adam Yauch weighed on my mind this week, so I dropped in a song from each.  Elsewhere, YEASAYER's back.  So is THE AFGHAN WHIGS and GUIDED BY VOICES.  Yes, again.  And hang out for the final track from grizzled vet RAY WYLIE HUBBARD if'n you want to hear a good story.  It's a good one alright, and true too.

The Big Beat premieres Tuesdays on DIY Radio at 3p Eastern, Noon Pacific (8p BST), and airs at that same time Wednesdays on Moheak Radio.  Moheak also repeats the show on Sunday at Noon Eastern, 9a Pacific (5p BST).  All shows will be posted on the site for streaming and limited-time downloads.
