8-hours of live-hosted indie rock noise pop post-punk shoe gaze psych & garage rock from 9am until 5pm Eastern U.S. Time during which we normally debut the new music we will be adding to rotation. New music is coming for us all, but not today. We are done reviewing/debuting new music as we begin our year-end review of the top songs & albums added to rotation in 2022.

As most of you know by now December babies are the best babies, so shout out of my fellow December babies. Our time has come once again.

We now return to your regularly scheduled political rant…

Last week #BenedictOrange hosted a couple of virulent, toxic anti-Semites at his home. As usual in an attempt to blunt blowback #TheBiggestLiar claimed to not know who one of the toxic guests was (a very fine person who openly wants to do away with representative democracy in favor of a Christian theocracy). #TheBiggestLoser then refused to condemn his outright fascist guest when told he was an outright facist.

While it is not earth-shattering news that the #EmotionallyCrippledRottingApricot who said Mexicans are rapists & repeatedly claimed that there were very fine people marching with tiki torches & swastikas & Confederate flags at Charlottesville did these things, it remains shocking that a former President of the United States did.

Not that anyone should need an explanation of just how wrong it is for the head of the GOP to host such hateful guests, but just in case here is a pretty solid opinion piece from the New York Times explaining just that.

That’s what Trump does: By violating the norms holding together liberal democratic society with impunity, he renders those norms inoperable. If it were just Trump doing this, that would be bad enough. But other narcissistic celebrities are now joining him in reveling in reactionary transgression.

With Kanye West, Kyrie Irving, Elon Fucking Musk, & the #DocumentThiefInChief using their massive platforms to spread hateful ideologies, the collective psychosis caused by Fox News-inspired fear & hate will only grow & metastasize. /rant

OK, so once again, today’s marathon live-hosted 480 Minutes program which runs from 9am-5pm Eastern U.S. time we will not debut any new music. It will be a bit more free-form than usual — not quite as free-form as was Tuesday’s Abbey Road Radio Show — which is often kinda fun.

Tune in & meet fellow members of our listening community in the chat room during the live-hosted show.
