I will try to steer clear of personal commentary about the one other grand entertainment event going on today besides 480 Minutes, the weekly 8-hour radio show during which we highlight all of our new playlist additions.  The commentator's role will be left to artists including The Clash, X, Dead Kennedys, Bright Eyes, Bill Bragg, Heaven 17, and others.

Our weekly, live-hosted, award-winning  480 Minutes show today will contain new songs by Arcade Fire (Montreal, Canada, @arcadefire), Last Quokka (Perth, Australia), The Luyas (Montreal, Canada, @TheLuyas),   Scott and Charlene's Wedding (Melbourne, Australia, @craigdermody70), and Tobin Sprout (Dayton OH, @realtobinsprout).

The live-hosted, award-winning  480 Minutes program begins at 9 a.m. Eastern U.S. Time and is live-hosted until 5 p.m. (unless RT doesn't like what we're doing and interrupts our broadcast).

For those who can't tune in during the live hosted hours the show is rebroadcast on Friday evenings beginning at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 5 a.m., and 3 p.m., and Sundays at 1 a.m. ET.
