Alligator MusiCast #6

In this week's MusiCast, we've got all the info you need to get the most out of Gainesville's music scene. We start things off by looking back on the latest music-related news, like Sunday's WGOT Benefit show at Boca Fiesta. Then, we take a look at the week ahead, highlighting out-of-town stars like Dumpstaphunk (Tuesday @ Common Grounds), Look Mexico (Thursday @ 1982) and ZoSo (Thursday @ The Venue). Finally, we bring you an in-depth review of Waylon Thornton and the Heavy Hands' latest album, Yours Truly.
