When The Lights Go Down, Who Will Hear 'The Last Transmission'?

Courtesy of the Artist/NPR Music

Filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles talks with NPR's Arun Rath about the new album by the London-based band The Heliocentrics. The Last Transmission features poetry by Van Peebles - a trippy intergalactic story about an astronaut sending out messages while exploring deep, deep space.
