Dec 9, 2022

Grab your dancing shoes for this week’s episode of Global Beat Mexico — it’s giving femme psych-rock, dream pop and indie rock aiming straight for your soul. Plus, Cuco’s hot off the presses, Beatles inspired single “Pendant,” and an unpacking of SZA’s long awaited album “SOS.” Be on the listen-out for all of the nods to Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill.”

Our Season of Giving Back is officially in full swing, and monthly sustaining donations are the best way to keep us planning ahead. End the year on the feel good note of giving your favorite radio station the perfect holiday gift (your presence as a sustaining member). Who knows, you just might find yourself enjoying a two-night stay in Vegas complete with tickets to Adele’s SOLD OUT Ceasar’s Palace show. Vegas baby, Vegas.

You heard Adele here first… and we’re always seeking opportunities to pass the mic. Become a member today to keep it all happening.
