480 Minutes - Rumble-related Rerun!

2010-02-05T08:04:00.000-08:00

Good morning!

Many many thanks to everyone who came out to Cafe du Nord on Wednesday specifically for the BAGeL Radio 7th birthday party. I really appreciate it. It makes me giddy to look back at the more than 300 (!) episodes of 480 Minutes, plus interviews and BAGeL Radio on-air acoustic performances. Who knew the little independent station that could...would...reach so many people? Not I, my friends. Not I.

Thanks also to everyone who came out to see the bands, the event co-sponsors (The Owl Mag and Future Sounds), my co-DJ (Carlton), and of course the bands (Jaguar Love, My First Earthquake, and Butterfly Bones).

Due in part to that party, which also celebrated the 5th anniversary of The Owl Mag and our first Rumble at Cafe du Nord, I didn't get nearly enough sleep this week nor have nearly enough time to compile a new episode of 480 Minutes, so today's program will be a rerun of a previously broadcast show. Next Friday (2/12) we'll have a new show featuring new stuff from Malachai (Bristol, England), Polysics (Japan), Seth Augustus (San Francisco, CA), and Cold War Kids (Long Beach, CA). See you then!

Oh, and if you are on Facebook please join the BAGeL Radio group. Just search for "bagelradio" in the search window, or click this link. Thanks!

BAGeL Radio Turns 7 Years Old Today

2010-02-03T11:00:00.000-08:00

Happy February!

Looking for something to do in SF tonight (Wednesday 2/3)? Make the descent into the one-time Speakeasy depths of Cafe du Nord (2174 Market Street near Sanchez) for The Rumble, the monthly indie rock party for which I am the resident DJ. The event is co-hosted by The Owl Mag and FutureSounds. and tonight guest DJ Carltone will rock with me. It's only $5 to get in, or RSVP for FREE admission here:

http://sonicliving.com/rumble26

As mentioned above, Wednesday February 3rd also happens to mark 7 years to the day since BAGeL Radio debuted on the webwaves. At first it was fun diversion that allowed me and some friends listen to my music collection whilst at work. By the end of 2003 I noticed that people had tuned in from over 100 countries and over 150 U.S. municipalities. BAGeL Radio began getting noticed by music blogs and other media, and it dawned on me that I needed to pay more attention to the station as listenership ballooned. In 2004 we began the BAGeL Radio Presents... series of live gigs around San Francisco, followed by the California Homegrown Music Series, and, since 2007, The Rumble. In between were remote interviews, coverage in the New York Times, ABC News, KCRW,Wired Magazine, and Chris Anderson's book The Long Tail, awards, plus memorable remote broadcasts from Los Angeles (Venice Beach and Eagle Rock), New York (Manhattan and Queens), Austin, TX. during SXSW, poolside in Palm Springs, CA., Japan (Nagano), Freeport, IL., Roscoe, IL., Boston, MA., Guerneville, CA., and Norway (Oslo).

The party tonight also celebrates 5 years since the launch of premiere Bay Area music resource The Owl Mag. The official pitch from The Owl Folks:

Bring on the music, bring on the party! We're celebrating The Owl Mag's 5 year anniversary and making moves. February's Rumble will be at the spectacular Cafe Du Nord. To get your blood pumping, we've got live sets from Jaguar Love (Portland, OR), My First Earthquake, and Butterfly Bones. Resident DJ master - BAGeL Ted (celebrating 7-years of Internet bliss) - will be on the decks. Endless pleasure awaits you - expect giveaways, specials, and debauchery.

Hope to see you there.

Monotonix Finally Suffer Injury

2010-02-01T09:04:00.000-08:00

Having seen chaotic Tel Aviv band Monotonix perform on more than one occassion (I took the photo to the left at a Monotonix show at CMJ in NY in 2008), it is shocking that they have never seriously injured themselves while performing. The first time I saw them was at the Jackalope at SXSW in Austin in 2007, and that was the first time since the 1980s that I felt in danger of physical injury at a gig.

It was awesome.

Well, singer Ami Shalev finally broke Monotonix string of "Days Without An Accident" when he broke his leg at a show in West Palm Beach, FL. last week.

"480 Minutes" - New Spoon!

2010-01-29T02:34:00.000-08:00

Hello and happy Friday.

This week I'd like to call your attention to an anti Karl Rove project by bands who are pissed off about the idea of the man behind Dubyah's political career cashing in further on his destruction of the country by publishing a book. It's called Project: Courage and Consequence. Remember when a couple of editors of The Nation published a book called Going Rouge the same day that Sarah Palin's book, Going Rogue, hit the newsstands? This is the same idea, only with noisy rock bands instead of a collection of essays.

Today 480 Minutes will debut new songs as well a few that have been around for a while but have not yet had their BAGeL Radio debut. The show will feature music from Beach House (Baltimore, MD), Charlotte Gainsbourg (Paris, France), Eels (Los Angeles, CA), The Films (Charleston, SC), Four Tet (London England), Galactic (New Orleans, LA), Nouvelle Vague (Paris, France), Spoon (Austin, TX), Surfer Blood (West Palm Beach, FL), Vampire Weekend (New York, NY), and Yawn (Chicago, IL).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

"480 Minutes" - RIP Jay Reatard

2010-01-15T01:17:00.000-08:00

Hello. We are back, as in really back, not just back from vacation, but back and armed with new music to play for you.

Before we get to that, a quick note about the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Haiti needs our help. The country needs disaster relief desperately, and there are a couple of very easy ways you can help. One is to text 'HAITI' to 90999, which will show up as a $10 charge on your phone bill, and the $10 will go directly to the American Red Cross to help with disaster relief. Another really easy and novel way to donate is via iTunes. Just click here and you will be able to use your iTunes account to donate $5 - $250 to the American Red Cross. Google has also set up a donations page. Please give what you can. And in case you are wondering how Haiti got so poor, it's not because it made a "pact to the devil," as "Christian" broadcaster Pat Robertson asserted to his 700 Club flock (true story). Here's one take on the history that brought Haiti to this point.

In other misery, Jay Reatard died in his sleep in his Memphis apartment this week. He was 29 years old. Check out the documentary below.

Turning attention to the music...

Today 480 Minutes will debut new songs as well as some that have been around for a while but have not yet had their BAGeL Radio debut. Are you ready? The show will feature music from Blakroc (The Black Keys and hip-hop MCs including RZA, Q-Tip, and Mos Def), Florence And The Machine (London, England), The Heavy (Noid, England), The Laughing (Austin, TX), Little Girls (Toronto, Canada), MiC K!NG & Chum (Philadelphia, PA), Oh No Ono (Copenhagen, Denmark), Retribution Gospel Choir (Duluth, MN), Tempo No Tempo (San Francisco, CA), Thee American Revolution (Kennesaw, GA), and We Were Pirates (Washington DC).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

Happy New Year!

2010-01-04T18:11:00.000-08:00

BAGeL Radio is back from vacation and belatedly wishing a happy and healthy new year to all of you listeners and readers. Are you ready for the '10s?

"480 Minutes" - Unplanned Rerun

2009-12-18T08:03:00.000-08:00

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I was under the weather and unable to produce an original show for this week, so today will be a rerun of a previously broadcast edition of 480 Minutes. In fact, there will be 4 different reruns run back-to-back-to-back-to-back, for those of you who might enjoy 30+ straight hours of me, babbling. The first runs from 9 a.m.-5p.m. Pacific Time. Do tune in.

There was a grand plan to follow-up to last week's smash hit "Best Music of 2009" edition of 480 Minutes with a "Best Music of the Oughts" edition this week. Then I got sick. Show fail. Alas, that special edition will have to wait until the new year.

Please check out the Best Music of the Year lists below. If you click a song name, it will take you to the song in iTunes, if you click an album name, that will take you to the corresponding CD on Amazon. If you prefer CD Universe, please use this link. You can also find an iMix of our Top Albums of 2009 (each represented by one song), and iMixies for our Top 50 Songs of 2009 as well as Top Songs 51-100. Using any of those links at bagelradio.com to buy music helps the artists and scores a commission for BAGeL Radio, so please, try to use our links as the your for all of your purchases (even non-music goods on Amazon!).

Thanks for sharing another great year of music with us here at BAGeL Radio. I saw some snarky year-end lists this year that stopped at 7 or 8 instead of the standard minimum 10, because, list authors claimed, there just wasn't that much great music released in 2009. Isn't it nice to have a clear view of just how wrong those who put snark ahead of the music really are?

Anyway, enjoy the reruns and sifting through the year-end lists, and best wishes to you and yours for a happy and healthy new year. See you in 2010.

Ted

"480 Minutes" - The Best Music of 2009

2009-12-11T01:56:00.000-08:00

Good morning and welcome to the The Best Music of 2009 edition of "480 Minutes." Click here to see results from previous years.

At 10 a.m. Pacific Time we will start a countdown with the #50 song of 2009, and I expect we'll get to #1 near 1:30 p.m. After that will be an out-of-order playlist of songs #51 to 100, arranged for maximum aural pleasure. Also included in that post-Top 50 set will be a countdown of the top 30 albums of 2009, plus the top 15 local San Francisco Bay Area releases of the year.

There was science involved in divining the rankings, including scouring all of our 2009 playlists to determine spin counts, how many songs from albums got played, etc. Truth be told, the parts not covered by science (including the hacking away with a machete before surgically paring the lists down their final form, plus final touches and tweaks), were all made with an almost complete disregard for objectivity.

2009 was another banner year for music as the Dubyah Hangover and Great Recession continue on. If you don't believe me, that's all the more reason to tune in today.

It is recommend that you take notes while listening so you can go buy some of these amazing records over the weekend. This will not only make you cooler, it will make you a better person for having supported mainly independent artists and independent labels who need your money to keep doing what they do -- make great music. It could also make your friends cooler if you decide to buy some of this music for them -- music makes an excellent holiday gift.

If you miss any portion of the show during it's original air-time, don't fret. It will be re-broadcast again tonight (Friday December 11th, 2009) beginning at 5p.m. Pacific, and then again twice tomorrow (Saturday December 12th, 2009) at 9 a.m. and 5p.m. Pacific.

Due to Digital Millennium Copyright restrictions, I cannot publish the list of the Top 100 Songs of 2009 until after this program and re-runs have aired, so expect to see a blog post published to this space on Sunday containing a complete run-down of the Top 100 Songs, Top 30 Albums, and Top Bay Area releases of 2009.

Please tune in every Friday to "480 Minutes," which airs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Due to the "Best of..." nature of this edition, requests are completely pointless today, but if you have comments, corrections, criticisms, please do get in touch via e-mail (feedback@bagelradio.com).

Also, feel free to post your Best Music of the Year selections in the comments section below.

Thanks, and enjoy the show!

480 Minutes - Vote For Me And I'll Set You Free!

2009-12-04T00:52:00.000-08:00

Hello! Please take a moment to vote for me in the SF Bay Guardian Favorite Bay Area DJs contest. I haven't won since 2007, so I'm due! You can vote for me in the Favorite Bay Area DJ: Bar/Lounge category (Ted Leibowitz, The Rumble @ Harlot) and the Favorite Bay Are DJ: Satellite/Internet Radio (Ted Leibowitz, BAGeL Radio, 480 Minutes, bagelradio.com) categories. Thanks!

Today 480 Minutes will debut no songs. Seriously. None. It's that time of year where the submissions pile up and we just don't care -- we're too busy going back through the thousands of great songs released this year. Said thousands have been whittled down to a few hundred (the list is at 157 at the moment), with the ultimate goal being to devine the Top 50 Songs of 2009. Those 50 will be featured, in reverse order, during the Friday 12/11 edition of 480 Minutes beginning at 10 a.m. Pacific Time. The Best Music Of The Year edition is always popular, so please be sure to get in early to ensure you don't get shut out by the listener limits. Or buy a Live365 Preferred Membership. It will cost you $6 a month if you sign up for a year, $8 a month if you sign up for a quarter, and you won't have to worry about getting shut out of BAGeL Radio.

So, getting back to the original point of that paragraph no new stuff, but lots of recent stuff and classics as well. I can ramble, can't I?

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

480 Minutes - Thanksgiving Rerun (and Hide!)

2009-11-27T07:03:00.000-08:00

As has become customary, there will be no new 480 Minutes program today, the Friday after the U.S. Thanksgiving Holiday, since such a small portion of out audience will actually be in their homes/offices to listen.

Instead we have programmed 4 recent episodes of 480 Minutes in a row beginning at the regular 480 Minutes time, Friday 9 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Mountain, 11 a.m. Central, 12 noon Eastern, and 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time.

Enjoy, have a lovely weekend, and we'll be back with an all-new show next Friday, followed by our annual Best Music Of The Year episode (former Pick-O-BAGeL) on Friday 12/11.

480 Minutes - Columbine Raincoat

2009-11-20T08:16:00.000-08:00

Today it's going to rain...at least here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Last time it rained I busted out a giant umbrella and got soaked anyway. This time I've busted out the giant cat hair-covered Columbine raincoat -- not getting soaked this time, Ms. Nature. Sorry. I may scare a few children, but I will be dry.

Today 480 Minutes will debut songs by Audra Mae (Los Angeles, CA via OK), Capgun Coup (Omaha, NE), The Cribs (West Yorkshire, England), The King of Rocksprings (Brooklyn, NY), Hot Lava (Richmond, VA), Sleep Whale (Denton, TX), and Vampire Weekend (New York, NY).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

Post Script: because next Friday is the day after Thanksgiving, most BAGeL Radio listeners will be home in triptophane-induced comas, so there will be no new 480 Minutes. Rest assured we will use our food coma wisely as we cobble together our year-end Best Of lists in between snoozes.
