"480 Minutes" - new Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Thermals
It's Friday so it's time for the weekly
480 Minutes preview, but first...it's been such a terrible week here in the U.S. -- I haven't been this antsy for a week to end in a long, long time. The fatal
Boston Marathon explosions, the
racist Islamophobia that predictably followed, the
Senate siding with the 1.1% (aka The NRA) by voting down background checks for gun purchases (why are they so afraid of background checks, anyway?), the fatal
Texas fertilizer plant explosions, and now (at the time of this writing) the
M.I.T. shootings...even for non-believers this has been a TGIF week.
Please help distract me from the chaos, death, and hate by hanging with me today during my 8-hour marathon radio show, which will feature new music by
Akron/Family (Brooklyn, NY),
Cocktails (San Francisco, CA),
Cowboy Indian Bear (Lawrence, KS),
Dead Confederate (Athens, GA),
Depth & Current (Norman, OK),
The Growl (Freemantle, Western Australia),
Junip (Gothenburg, Sweden),
Oceanography (Oakland, CA),
Teenage Sweater (San Francisco, CA),
The Thermals (Portland, OR),
We All Want To (Brisbane, Australia), and
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (New York, NY).
Requests are taken and sometimes honored during the live-hosted hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m Pacific Time):
