It's Elemental!

In this weeks episode of Frontera Frequencies, hosts Roberto Avant-Mier and Ale Seañez explore songs about elements beyond just earth, wind, fire, and water. The hosts step into their element with songs like, "Set Fire to the Rain" by Adele, different versions of Nirvana's "Lithium", and "Titanium" by David Guetta and Sia. On the Miner Music Minute we have a Mr. Wayne Thornton, a very special guest. Mr. Thornton worked as a DJ at KTEP in the 1970's.
