If summer is supposed to be a time of mega-fantastic wonderful musical releases, I must say this week was a bitter disappointment.  So...much...crud!!

Luckily we get so many submissions that even when 95% of it is stuff you'd thank us for saving you from suffering, there's invariably a few things that are worth turning you on to, which is that our Friday marathon live-hosted internet radio show,  480 Minutes, is all about.  Tune in on your favorite device over ethernet, wi-fi, 3G, 4G, Edge...whatever you have, we can likely deliver a stream to you!

Today's edition of  480 Minutes will see the debut of new songs by Bad Cop (Nashville, TN),  Bass Drum of Death (Oxford, Misissippi), Baths (Los Angeles, CA),  The Danks (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada), Ell V Gore (Toronto, Canada), The Orwells (Chicago, IL),  Pigeon (Ferny Hills, Australia), Rush&Attack (San Francisco, CA), Sons of Hippies (Tampa, FL), and Spectrals (Heckmondwike, England).

Requests are taken during the live-hosted hours (9 a.m. - 5 p.m Pacific Time) via e-mail and IM:
