"480 Minutes" - new Frightened Rabbit

2010-03-12T01:37:00.000-08:00

Today on 480 Minutes you can once again win tickets to see a special BAGeL Radio Presents... screening of the new White Stripes documentary, Under Great White Northern Lights, at the Roxie Theater. Get in touch whenever you hear a White Stripes song on BAGeL Radio between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time today. The screening is this Monday, March 15th.

Today was a rough week. For much of it when I listened to new submissions I hated everything I heard. When I listened again yesterday (with about 150 additional items in the weekly vetting playlist), I found tons of great stuff, so yes, indeed, there will be new playlist additions next week.

Today 480 Minutes will debut the aforementioned new playlist additions from Aloha (Cleveland, OH), Archie Bronson Outfit (Bath, England), The Besnard Lakes (Montreal, Canada), Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Los Angeles), Broken Bells (New York, NY), The Bundles (New York, NY), Clogs (Brooklyn, NY), Drink Up Buttercup (Philadelphia, PA), Frightended Rabbit (Selkirk, Scotland), Gorillaz (London, England), The Hotrats (Oxford, England), Lawrence Arabia (Christchurch, New Zealand), Liars (New York, NY), The Morning Benders (Brooklyn, NY), One For The Team (Minneapolis, MN), Ortolan (Riverside, New Jersey), The Splinters (Berkeley, CA), Tunng (London, England), and Univox (Philadlephia, PA).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Well, not next Friday (3/19), because we will be taking next week off to attend SXSW (South By Southwest), the annual music festival in Austin, TX. We'll be back the following Friday (3/26) with some new gems we stumble across at the festival.

If you are going to be in Austin for SXSW please stop by The Beauty Bar on Thursday, 3/18, where we will be co-hosting and DJing the 3rd Annual Bay Area Takeover from 11:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. with our friends at The Bay Bridged.

2010-02-26T02:17:00.000-08:00

Another huge stack of excellent submissions this week means another 480 Minutes chock full of brand new, never before heard on BAGeL Radio songs. On top of that, this week it's Noise Pop, the annual San Francisco indie music festival that has opened our ears to much great music over the years.

So far we've seen Mist And Mast, Love Is Chemicals, Rogue Wave, Man/Miracle, Princeton, and Two Sheds. Looking forward to We Were Promised Jetpacks with Bear hands tomorrow (Saturday, 2/27) at Slim's. Next week The Rumble (the monthly indie rock night I host/DJ at Cafe du Nord) doubles as The Official Noise Pop Hangover Party and will feature live performances by Lilofee (San Francisco, CA), Twin Tigers (Athens, GA), and Stripmall Architecture (SF, CA).

"480 Minutes" - Once Again Taking IM Requests!

2010-02-12T02:12:00.000-08:00

Hello friends, enemies, listeners, readers, thinkers, creationists (you know, the folks picking the textbooks for our school kids), and all those in between.

Last night my brother and sister went to a Broadway show and sat a few ~~rows~~ seats from U2 lead singer Bono. Shocking, I know, but true. They both told me. Independently of one another. That's how I know they are not lying.

So today marks the return of a part of 480 Minutes that is meaningful to some of you and for others, not so much: contacting the DJ via Instant Messenger. You can make requests, comment on songs that are playing, rag on songs that never should have been played...whathaveyou. Try it, you might like it. Just let the DJ know who you are and where you are IMing from.

Today 480 Minutes will debut new songs by from Malachai (Bristol, England), Polysics (Japan), Seth Augustus (San Francisco, CA), Cold War Kids (Long Beach, CA), Freelance Whales (Queens, NY), Hanne Hukkelberg (Oslo, Norway), Chet (Victoria, BC, Canada), Xiu Xiu (Brooklyn, NY), Laarks (Eau Claire, WI), Phantogram (Saratoga Springs, NY), Dune Tran (San Francisco, CA), Bettie Serveert (Amsterdam, Netherlands), and the new side project by Eddie Argos (of Art Brut) and Dyan Valdes (of The Blood Arm) called Everybody Was In the French Resistance...Now! (Los Angeles, CA)

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time. If that time doesn't work for you, the show is rebroadcast on Friday nights and then twice on Saturday, so you can get your fix then.

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.
