“480 Minutes”

My promise to you: no technical difficulties this week.  I promise, or your money back.  Not much of a risk there, granted, since listening is free, but hey…it’s better than Kirk Cameron.
Anyway…hello and welcome 480 Minutes, the weekly marathon live radio show hosted by BAGeL Radio Music Director Ted Leibowitz this and every Friday from 9a.m. until 5p.m. Pacific Time.
We are excited to have tickets to give away for the Hugh Cornwell, Clem Burke, and Glen Matlock show at the Red Devil Lounge next Friday.  Hugh was the singer for The Stranglers, and backing him on drums is Clem from Blondie (and he was also briefly a member of the Ramones under the name Elvis Ramone), followed by a set by Glen who was the bassist of the Sex Pistols before Sid Vicious, then formed The Rich Kids, then played with Iggy Pop).  Come on out and join me, we can drink too much and pretend we’re in Austin with the cool kids at SXSW!
Today’s show will feature new tunes by Andrew Bird (Chicago, IL), Ava Luna (Brooklyn, NY), Ceremony (Rohnert Park, CA), Fanfarlo (London, England), Jagwar Ma (Sydney, Australia), Kaiser Chiefs (Leeds, England), Kishi Bashi (New York, NY), Lost In The Trees (Chapel Hill, NC), Summer Twins (Riverside, CA), Trust (Toronto, Canada), and White Rabbits (New York, NY).  Please get in touch during the show:

This week I was fortunate enough to attend the 10th San Francisco Music Tech Summit and am happy to report that the tenor of the music/tech discussion appears to have changed.  With each summit the speakers, panelists, and attendees seem less tied to the old music business model of selling shiny plastic discs (while ripping off the artists who created the art) while moving more towards a future of streaming media and subscription services.

Still, the RIAA continues doing hateful shit like pushing bad legislation, pressuring Google to stop doing what it does, maintaining misguided monopolistic middle-men like SoundExchange to ensure that most revenues get funneled to them and not to artists, and stomping on legitimate businesses they don’t like…but the tide is clearly turning against them.  It was the most encouraging music/tech conference I’ve been to yet — as you’ve read here many times before, the music industry is fine and dandy, it’s the paleolithic recorded music industry that’s in trouble.

There is a good write-up of SF MusicTech X over on Hypebot.
Next week is the Digital Media Forum East conference…if I can find a cheap flight to NYC, I’ll be there, too!

While we all still have our internet privilege (no thanks to the Congresscritters behind SOPA/PIPA, and let’s not forget the even stinkier ACTA), let’s get to some music, shall we?  Hello and welcome to 480 Minutes, the weekly marathon live hosted radio show highlighting the newest BAGeL Radio playlist additions, of which there are many again today.

“480 Minutes” – 120120 Edition

What happens when you do 480 on 120120?  I guess we’re going to find out!

So what happens when the RIAA and MPAA cry?  Congress proposes terrible legislation (SOPA and PIPA) to mollify them.  Fortunately there was a huge enough public outcry so that those bills are now at least on hold, but don’t for a moment think they are not coming back.

And today the US government showed us that it doesn’t even need SOPA and PIPA to do the bidding of the entertainment industry, it seized the domain of Megaupload and arrested it’s CEO (who happens to be Alicia Keys’ husband) and others (including Alicia Keys’ husband).  It’s doubtful that the domain seizure and arrests are even above board legal as those arrested are not US citizens, were arrested outside of the US, and the company itself is based outside of the US.  The rule of law is clearly now nothing more than a quaint notion.

Fortunately, we have people like Anonymous giving the finger to those attempting to trample on the Bill of Rights.

That said, while the internet still works, we’ve got music to play for you, so…hello and welcome 480 Minutes, the weekly marathon live hosted radio show highlighting the newest BAGeL Radio playlist additions, of which there are many today.
This week we will debuting new music by The Asteroids Galaxy Tour (Copenhagen, Denmark), Ben Kweller (Greenville, TX), Big Deal (London, England), The Big Pink (London, England), Capsula (Buenos Aires, Argentina), Cardinal (?), Cate Le Bon (Cardiff, Wales), Howler (Minneapolis, MN), John K Samson (Winnipeg, Canada), Justin Robinson & The Mary Annettes (Durham, NC), Nancy Magarill (New York, NY), The Paper Scissors (Sydney, Australia), Queens Of The Stone Age (Palm Desert, CA), and Rival Sons (Los Angeles, CA).
As always the show is hosted live and in-person from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Pacific Time.  Please get in touch during those hours with your requests, comments, and favorite Gingrich excuse for cheating on his wives.

“480 Minutes” – Best Bay Area Music of 2011

Last Friday we unveiled our top 50 songs and top 50 albums of 2011 during the year-end best-of edition of 480 Minutes.  Some were shocked, some were appalled, most were pretty OK with the outcome.
This week we focus in on the top songs and releases by San Francisco Bay Area artist in 2011.  Starting at 11 a.m. (Pacific Time) we will count down the top 10 Bay Area songs of 2011.  Another 20 or so great Bay Area songs from 2011 will be sprinkled throughout the rest of the program which, as always, runs from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Pacific Time.
Also, since it’s the end of the year and we are not playing any new releases until 2012, a larger portion than usual of 480 Minutes this week and next will be dedicated to BAGeL Radio classics.  Mmmm, classics.  Marissa already got her requests in…where are yours?
e-mail: bagelradio[at]gmail[dot]com
Yahoo IM/GoogleTalk: bagelradio
AOL/iChat: bagelradiolive

Locals should tune in so they know which local acts they need to get out and see and support in 2012.  Non-locals should tune in to hear why the Bay Area is such an amazing place for music these days.  Those unsure if they are locals or non-locals should ask Santa for a map.
Looking forward to sharing the best Bay Area music of 2011 with you.

“480 Minutes” – Best Music of 2011

It is finally here, the year-end best-of-2011 edition of 480 Minutes.  Do tune in, you will hear many songs which you have loved throughout 2011, and many that you have not even heard that you will love.  The latter case will make you scratch your head thinking, “Why did all of my music sources let me down by not introducing me to this music!” which will lead you to the inevitable conclusion that even before you start your list of New Year’s resolutions you will resolve to switch to BAGeL Radio as your main source for new music.  That’s right. I said it.

The show, as always, runs from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Pacific Time, and the top songs countdown starts at 10 a.m. with song #50.  We usually get to song #1 around 1:15 p.m., but this is live radio, so one can never be quite sure.

The rest of the show will be rounded out with our 100 or so other favorite songs of 2011, played in unranked fashion.

Looking forward to sharing the best music of the year with you.

2011 lists will be available at http://bagelradio.com/bestof/ by Monday, and will be available as playlists on Rdio, MOG, or whichever music service you guys tell me is your favorite via the poll below.

POLL: Fave Subscription Music Service?

Addendum:

Here are the playlists, 88-90% complete…
5 songs missing from Rdio playlist
6 songs missing from MOG playlist

Please mark your calendars and buy your tickets: BAGeL Radio Presents… Her Space Holiday at Bottom of the Hill along with Silver Swans and City Light on Saturday, December 16h, 2011.  When you hear a song by any of the three bands during the live show (Fridays, 9a.m. – 5p.m. Pacific Time) today, get in touch and you might win yourself a pair of free free a-yuh I said free tickets to the show.
