"480 Minutes" - New Weekend

September 22, 2011 Ted

It's Friday! Well, not really. It's Thursday as I write this, but by the time it's done and published it will be Friday which means it's a 480 Minutes day -- 8 hours highlighting all of the best stuff we received this week that will be added to our regular rotation of songs next week. Leading the pack today is a little-known underground San Francisco band called Weekend. Get ready to be rocked in a Jesus & Wire Catherine Wheel Chain kind of way.

Today's show will also feature new songs from pretty much revery other band that ever existed including Anomie Belle (Seattle, WA), Big Black Delta (Los Angeles, CA), Big Troubles (Ridgewood, NJ), Dum Dum Girls (Los Angeles, CA), The Features (Sparta, TN), Grouplove (Los Angeles, CA), Tim Kasher (Omaha, NE), The Kooks (Brighton, England), Ladytron (Liverpool, England), Dan Mangan (Vancouver, Canada), Mates Of State (Stratford, CT), My Jerusalem (New Orleans, LA), Popstrangers (Aukland, New Zealand), Radical Face (Jacksonville, FL), Salli Lunn (Copenhagen, Denmark), Sports (Toronto, Canada), Tammar (Bloomington, IN), Twin Sister (Brooklyn, NY), The Veda Rays (Brooklyn, NY), Weekend (San Francisco, CA), Wilco (Chicago, IL), Wild Flag (Portland, OR & Washington D.C.), and Youth Lagoon (Boise, ID).
