Just two weeks until the next BAGeL Radio Presents... event, a rockshowdancepartyhybrid featuring Scissors For Lefty, Head Like A Kite, and some DJ named Ted from BAGeL Radio. Mark your calendars: Saturday August 30th at The Rickshaw Stop. Tune into "480 Minutes" on Fridays from 9a.m to 5p.m. Pacific Time to win tickets, or just go buy a few from the venue website.

New music today will include songs by The Ettes (San Francisco, CA), Kristoffer Ragnstam (Gothenburg, Sweden), Obi Best (Los Angeles, CA), Konrad (Rock Island, IL), Lower Class Revolt (San Francisco, CA), One For The Team (Minneapolis, MN), Man/Miracle (Oakland, CA), and The Walkmen (New York, NY).

Today's show may be something of a classics show -- DJ iPod has been spinning me lots of 4- and 5-star songs from the 68k-song BAGeL Radio library this week, which makes me want to do an all-classics show. No can do, too much good new stuff to debut and too much strong recent stuff, but there will be a higher percentage of all-time alt-rock greats than usual.

Please tune in to "480 Minutes" today and every Friday. The show runs live from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, is rebroadcast starting at 7 p.m., then twice more on Saturday. On Saturday night at midnight we return to regular BAGeL Radio programming.

Thanks to everyone who came out to see Darker My Love at The Independent on Tuesday and to The Rumble on Wednesday -- those back to back late nights were daunting but turned out ot be well worth the effort. I've got one more late night left this week (well, until the Birdmonster mp3 release listening party on Sunday at the Hotel Utah!) and that's tonight at The Owl Mag 3rd Anniversary at the Independent with Wallpaper, Hottub, & Vitamin Party, plus DJ sets by Aaron Axelsen of Live 105 and Amplive of Zion-I. Buy tickets for The Owl Mag event. We will have a couple of pairs of tickets to give away, so when you hear me talking about owls or magazines, get in touch!

A couple of years ago we played a record by a St. Louis band called Gentleman Auction House. I was in love with it, and even though it was just an EP, it ended up on our year-end best albums chart. Their debut full-length album Alphabet Graveyard just came out and our copy finally arrived this week, so we'll be debuting songs from it today. Other music debuting today includes songs from Sebastien Grainger (formerly half of Death From Above 1979 from Montreal, Canada), Powersolo (Aarhus, Denmark), The Faint (Omaha, NE), The LeeMaj7 (San Francisco, CA), Dan Le Sac Vs. Scroobius Pip (Stanford-le-Hope, England), Human Highway (Ontario, Canada), and Lee "Scratch" Perry (Jamaica).

Please tune in to "480 Minutes" today and every Friday. The show runs live from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, is rebroadcast starting at 7 p.m., then twice more on Saturday. On Saturday night at midnight we return to regular BAGeL Radio programming.

News: That letter that Bill O'Reilly was all aflutter about in 2003? The one that exonerated the Bushists for their illegal invasion? It was a fake. A fake ordered up by The White House, fabricated by the CIA, and delivered by that Administration stooge Alawi. The Bush Administration has completely destroyed any moral authority the United States may have once had in the world. Heckuva job, Bushie.

Did you miss the election news this week? John McCain decided it was not flip-flopping to mock Obama about something and agree with him about that very same thing in the very same week to slide deeper into the Karl Rovian mud he has employed. Catch up with quick hits and deep links at State Of The Day.

If you bought music online from the MicroSoft Music Network, RealNetworks, Virgin, Sony Connect, Liquid Audio, or now the Yahoo! Music Store, read this and start burning to CD all the songs/albums you thought you bought when you clicked those misleading "buy" buttons. There is no telling how much longer those files will play on your computer. I know, I know, you clicked a "buy" button and were charged money, so you own the file, right? Wrong, sucker. The geniuses that control 90% of the music industry have screwed you again.

On a more positive note some really good new music arrived this week including stuff from a couple of BAGeL Radio faves, Cold War Kids (Long Beach, CA), and Conor Oberst (Omaha, NE) of Bright Eyes. That's not all, of course, today's show will also feature new music from Muy Cansado (Boston, MA), Colourmusic (Stillwater, OK), Evening Empire (San Francisco, CA), Little Teeth (San Francisco, CA), Pelle Carlberg (Stockholm, Sweden), Brazilian Girls (New York, NY), Takka Takka (Brooklyn, NY), Bowery Boy Blue (New York, NY), Dead Amps (Redlands, CA), Tom Alford (San Rafael, CA), and selections from the Labrador Records 2008 Summer Sampler (Stockholm, Sweden).

Warning: Non music-related content --Did you see what happened this week here in the US? John McCain talked about the situation on the (non-existent) Iraq-Pakistan border completely screwed up the timeline of The Surge (about which he's an expert and long-time supporter, dontcha know), launched an attack ad blaming Barack Obama personally for high gas prices, launched an attack ad juxtaposing Obama with a dictator (for the second time! different dictator this time!), started a campaign suggesting that the mainstream media is in love with Obama the same week CBS kindly edited out his damningly erroneous Surge timeline assertions from an interview (seriously, McCain's aggregious error should have been the story but instead it removed from history), and was photographed being driven around a golf course by George H.W. Bush while looking like he could be the 84-year old former president's father.

The onslaught continues -- this week's "2vet" playlist (that's what I name the weekly playlist of submissions each week) was 465 songs long. That's a totally absurd number of songs. Usually it's between 200 and 300, and during the summer months it's always been far less than that. Just what is going on? Will someone please tell me?

Several of today's new acts can be shoehorned into the category of Nu-gazer* (that's current Shoegazer), and it's nice to hear bands who can write songs reviving that early 90s genre (epitomized by My Bloody Valentine, Ride, and Lush).

Today's program will contain never-before-heard on BAGeL Radio music including new *Joshua Lanes (Long Beach, CA), Earlimart (Los Angeles, CA), Calico Horse (San Diego, CA), Birdmonster (San Francisco, CA), *Boy In Static (San Francisco, CA), The May Fire (San Francisco, CA), Head Like A Kite (Seattle, WA), The Duchess And The Duke (Seattle, WA), Be Your Own Pet (Nashville, TN), The Delicious (Bloomington, IN), Hercules And Love Affair (Brooklyn, NY), The Hold Steady (Brooklyn, NY) (it's like Bob Mould meets Bruce Springsteen), Services (Brooklyn, NY), The Song Corporation (Brooklyn, NY), *Dead Heart Bloom (New York, NY), mrandmrsmays (Austin, TX), Shearwater (Austin, TX), YellowFever (Austin, TX), The Awkward Stage (Vancouver, Canada), Brendan Canning (Toronto, Canada), SJ Esau (UK), The Twilight Sad (Kilsyth, Scotland), and 4 Bonjour's Parties (Tokyo, Japan).

Today listeners will have a chance to win one last DVD copy of the acclaimed film about Joy Division lead singer Ian Curtis, Control, and we continue our ticket giveaway for for The Download Festival at the Shoreline Ampitheatre. The July 19th lineup includes The Jesus & Mary Chain, Gang Of Four, Atmosphere & Brother Ali, Brand New, Mute Math, Yeasayer, Sia, M83, Mates of State, The Whigs, William Fitzsimmons, Cut Copy, Datarock, Flosstradamus, RJD2, Duke Spirit, Tapes n Tapes, Blitzen Trapper, Louis XIV, Airborne Toxic Event, and De Novo Dahl, amongst others, so tune in and when you hear a song by one of those bands, get in touch and you might just win yourself a pair of free tickets. Buy tickets here for just $20.

OK, we're back. And there's so much good stuff to get to, I don't even know where to begin.
