"480 Minutes" - Back To School Edition


Today is the Back to School Edition of the BAGeL Radio Friday live hosted marathon broadcast known as  480 Minutes.  Somehow it's September, which means a whole lot of tiny kids going to school for the first time, a whole lot of young adults starting their final year of formal schooling, and a whole lot of students in between.

For some reason this year Apple is not giving out free iPods to students who buy new Macs, while Microsoft is giving away X-Box 360s to students who buy Windows PCs.  Go figure.  Maybe that's because Apple is valued higher than Microsoft?  Your guess is as good as mine.

Personally "back to school" always stressed me out.  First of all I didn't like school all that much.  Additionally, the start of school meant no more Camp Summit, no chance to complete that never-ending 21-inning scoreless game of one-on-one stickball against lefty Brian Tracz at the P.S. 144 school yard, homework would get in the way of warm evenings chasing fireflies in the back yard, and perhaps worst of all, no more seeing the last out of Yankees games when they played out west.

Today's show will feature new songs from Blood Orange (Brooklyn, NY), Caged Animals (Brooklyn, NY), Devon Williams (Los Angeles, CA), Family Of The Year (Silverlake, CA), Regina (Helsinki, Finland), and Roberts & Lord (San Diego, CA & London, England).
