My faves of this week’s show include
Ezra Furman from a
Netflix series he scored,
The Antagonists who remind me of
The Replacements (minus the
love-hate-love thing Westerberg and Stinson had going on), and
Braids who follow their April release with a tour of the UK and Europe. This week's Big Beat Chicago Artist of the Week is
Sunshine Boys. Check out the rest of this week’s show below and playlists from Big Beats gone by
here.
I wouldn’t ask every week if it weren’t important to keeping the music scenes thriving - support the artists you hear on WXRT by catching a live show and buying their music from, whenever you can, a local, independent, or a family-owned music store. While you’re at it, tell someone who digs music the way you and I dig music to tune into XRT!
I have two new music shows each week where I get to play some of the sounds I’ve been into for you. Check out
New Noise at Nine every Thursday night at 9:00 pm and
The Big Beat every Monday night at 11:00 pm. I always welcome suggestions on what to keep an ear out for so connect with me on
Twitter,
Instagram, and
Facebook. My handle on all three of ‘em is
RyanArnoldRocks.
