    Jul 16, 2026

    Starting off our Thursday together on MBE with Austin duo Warm Sound on a hot day in LA. Plus, we'll hear brand new Beck, Tyler Ballgame, and revisit the iconic opening titles song to Quentin Tarantino's debut, Reservoir Dogs. We'll also hear St Germain's 2000 hit, sampling the legendary jazz multi-instrumentalist, Rahsaan Roland Kirk's iconic flute riffs. We'll play a contemporary reimagining of a 50 year old classic from BB King's album, Lucille Talks Back, and also give away tickets to see José González at the bowl.
