Novena's New Music Friday Must Hear's & Coachella Must See's
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

Rumor has it there’s a full unreleased Beastie Boys album sitting in the vaults, just waiting to reach our earbuds. In honor of this speculation, and the heartbreaking anniversary of founding member Adam Yauch (MCA’s) death 11 years ago, we’re breaking out a couple of classic Beasties cuts.
Plus, Mattie Safer (The Rapture/Poolside) has a new “lonelyhearts disco” project called Lovetempo, Four Tet remixing Everything But The Girl, and (naturally) some Star Wars themed tunes. May the fourth be with you!
