    We kick of the post 4th of July week with Chris Douridas carrying on from Ariana Morgenstern's legacy of our 20 year running daily download, Today's Top Tune with new work from a familiar KCRW favorite. Plus Novena shares some other new finds including LA Priest collaborating with longtime friend Alex Ridha, better known as Boys Noize. Lastly, she introduces us to a new indie band out Dari Bay of Vermont from Unknown Mortal Orchestra's Zack James.
