Bonus Beats
TV On The Radio paid a trip to the NPR Tiny Desk as part of their run to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes.
The homies Zilla Rocca, Curly Castro, and Alaska have you covered for your post-Thanksgiving listening. For their 300th episode they've lined up 3.5 hours of all things Indelible, with a discussion of the MC crew that includes interviews with Company Flow (El-P, Big Jus, Mr. Len), J-Treds, and Breeze Brewin. Tap in and tell 'em I sent you.
(UPDATE: Found the lyric video of "Lune TNS" that Castro mentions with animated writing styles. Courtesy of the Extraordinary Rap YouTube channel, video by Video by El Funy & VeskOne)
Def Sound & TRU visited Los Angeles' Audubon Center at Debs Park for a live performance, with accompaniment by Brandon Samuels.
