"480 Minutes" - Best of 2008 So Far
It's a special show this week -- it's the Best of 2008 (so far) show, featuring a countdown of the best albums of 2008 to date beginning at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. The segment is scheduled to run until 1 p.m.We will also have a late-afternoon visit from Conor Jonathan of one of our favorite Bay Area bands, [the] caseworker, whose music has gotten excellent listener feedback here on BAGeL Radio since before the release of their debut album in 2003. And I kinda like them, too. Tune in at 4 to hear about the band and the new record they are working on now.
This show will also be the first in a series during which we will have tickets to give away to the Download Festival at Shoreline on July 19th. The lineup includes 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. Tune in to win tickets this week and for the next several weeks. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, Saturday 5/31/08 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time, for the value price of $20.
