It's Labor Day weekend here in the U.S., so many of our U.S. listeners will not be tuned in today, which is a shame, because we have a bunch of terrific new songs to play for you today along with tons of great new stuff released in recent weeks by Ty Segall, The Raveonettes, The New Pornographers, Fat White Family, Alvvays, and Morrissey...to name a half dozen.

Today  480 Minutes will feature new music by  Birdmonster (San Francisco, CA, @Birdmonster -- who happen to be playing this Saturday at Bottom of the Hill), Coves (Leamington, England, @CovesBand),  Elephant Stone (Montreal, Canada, @ElephantStoneHQ), Facts on File (Los Angeles, CA, @FactsOnFile),  Gemma Ray (Berlin, Germany, @GemmaRayMusic), Half Japanese (Uniontown, Maryland), Happyness (South London, England, @HappynessMusic), The Primitives (Coventry, England, @PrimitivesBand), and Wand (Los Angeles, CA).

Please tune in to the award-winning, live-hosted  480 Minutes program (Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.  Eastern U.S.Time): http://somafm.com/bagel/
