"480 Minutes" - Let Them Eat Bounty
Meanwhile in Las Vegas 59 country music fans were murdered and more than 500 injured by a country music fan/ammosexual and his guns. Why do we know that he was a country music fan? Because far of being vilified as an anti-American terrorist, thusfar he's been eulogized.
The monster killed 59 innocent people and could have killed far more, but I have yet to see our politicians, mainstream media, or anyone, really, refer to him as anti-American. That says a lot about how Americans see themselves and our country.
The good news is we are finally starting to see more than a trickle of resistance from artists. We've already played a handful of pointed protest songs by Last Quokka, Juliana Hatfield, American Anymen, and Shane Michael Vidauri, and this week alone received protest songs from Paperhaus, Maximo Park, and L7, to name a few. Not all are going to make it into rotation, but it's nice to see musicians singing about something other than, well...sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Today the award-winning 480 Minutes show today will feature new songs by Chelsea Wolfe (Los Angeles, CA, @cchelseawolfe), M.A.G.S. (Buffalo, NY, mags_bflo), Mister Heavenly (Los Angeles, CA, @misterheavenly), Paperhaus (Washington, DC, @paperhausmusic), Pom Poms (Los Angeles, CA, @pompomsmusic), Protomartyr (Detroit, MI), Sound of Ceres (Brooklyn, NY, @soundofceres), Strange Ranger (Portland, OR via Bozeman, MT, @strange_rangerr), and Weaves (Toronto, Canada, @weeaves).
The 480 Minutes program begins at 9 a.m. Eastern U.S. Time and is live-hosted until 5 p.m.
The show is rebroadcast in it's entirety on Friday evenings beginning at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 5 a.m. and 3 p.m., and Sundays at 1 a.m. ET.
