"480 Minutes" - Ticket Giveaway

2021-12-03T04:44:00.040-05:00

8 hours of live-hosted indie rock noise pop AND a ticket giveaway? Sign me up!

Today we are back with an all new episode of 480 Minutes featuring our first ticket giveaway in some time. We did these all the time when we were based in San Francisco, less so since relocating to NYC, and not at all since The Before Times. Tune in during the live-hosted hours (9am-5pm ET) and when you hear a Yo Kinky song be the first to get in touch via Slack or e-mail (contact info below) for a chance to win tickets to see Yo Kinky perform at The Mercury lounge on 12/15/21.

You can also buy tickets at https://tinyurl.com/YoKinkyMercLounge

With our annual Beatles Cleanse™complete, we have entered the sifting back through all of the new songs we aired on the station in 2021 to start ranking the top songs and albums of the year phase. We take into account objective data including how many times songs/albums were played, how many people were listening when they were played, and top all of the data off with our own secret sauce of subjectivity. This year we have the added challenges of a somewhat abbreviated Beatles Cleanse™ plus not having a complete data set as BAGeL Radio transitions from being part of the SomaFM collective to being its own thing again.

We reveal the results of the process during our year-end top music show which will be live-hosted two weeks from today: Friday, December 17th, 2021...and there will be bingo! Here's a sample card from last year:

Blank 2021 cards will be available for download at bagelradio.com next Friday, December 10th, 2021, and to be considered an official entries will need to be received no later than 11:59pm ET on Thursday December 16th.

A few updates with regard to the transition -- an Android app is in the works, a Roku app will follow the release of that one, and eventually someday maybe an iOS app, too. I am an Apple user so I want it to happen but Apple doesn't make it easy and right now there's too much to do to tackle unnecessarily difficult tasks that are not mission-critical.

The good news is TuneIn and several other radio aggregator apps are now displaying BAGeL Radio metadata so there are more ways to listen with track info than there were last week. You can always visit mystreamplayer.com/bagel to view that info regardless of what device you use to listen.

We still need someone with an Apple developer account to get that iOS app placed in the App Store and I could really use someone with good web design skills to help with the new BAGeL Radio site. Extra credit if you can provide a portfolio of sites you have designed, and double super secret credit if you have experience using Squarespace to build sites.

There is also all-new BAGeL Radio merch in the pipeline including t-shirts (men's and women's), hoodlies, coffee mugs, hats, g-strings, and more. I am expecting my first samples any day now.

No new music to debut today as we've reached that post-Thanksgiving reflective period of the year.

Tune in and chat with other members of our music discovery-crazed community on Slack during the live-hosted hours.

"480 Minutes" - Plea For Web Help

2021-11-19T08:08:00.002-05:00

Hello there, BAGeL Radio listeners & friends.

In case you missed it, on Monday BAGeL Radio is now streaming independently of the SomaFM servers. In your mobile or desktop browser bookmark and click this link to launch the stream in a web player: https://live.mystreamplayer.com/bagel. For those who prefer direct stream links, you can find those here.

With the unexpected switch away from the streaming servers we've been using for 10+ years earlier this week, we are scrambling to get things up and running in a variety of areas as we chart our course away from our beloved nest of the past 10+ years.

We desperately need (1) someone with webmaster skills as well as (2) someone (else or could be the same person) with developer accounts at both Apple App Store and the Google Play Store.

Please send an e-mail to bagelradio@gmail.com if you have such skills/accounts and would like to help us at this critical moment of our transition to becoming a stand-alone internet radio station. Thank you.

Today we will debut new music including songs by Cy Dune (Los Angeles, CA, @CyDuneSounds), Five Pence Game (San Sebastian, Spain, @FivePenceGame) IDLES (Bristol, England, @IdlesBand), Mandy, Indiana (Manchester, England) @MandyIndiana), and Pip Blom (Amsterdam, The Netherlands, @PipBlom).

Tune in and chat with other members of our music discovery-loving community on Slack during the live-hosted hours.

"480 Minutes" - Melancholy Music

2021-11-12T04:44:00.025-05:00

This week your host tried, really tried, to ignore the news. Doing so always makes me feel guilty, like I'm not doing my part as a citizen. American democracy is being undermined from the inside, those with the power to do something about it keep bringing pocket knives to gun fights (or not fighting at all, howzit hangin' congressional GOP?), and that reality is too much for me right now. Now that I've admitted this publicly and to myself I feel even worse about it.

Maybe that's why mostly melancholy submissions resonated with me this week.

Today we will debut new music including songs by The Clydes (New Brunswick, NJ, @TheClydesBand), The Kundalini Genie (Glasgow, Scotland, @KundaliniGenie), Nation of Language (Brooklyn, NY, @notionofanguish), Papercuts (San Francisco, CA, @papercuts_music), Radiohead (re-release, Oxford, England), Snail Mail (Ellicott City, MD, recently relocated to the East Village, NY, @SnailMail), and SWIIMS (Toronto, Canada, @SWiiMS_MUSIC1).

"480 Minutes" - Democracy Undermined

2021-11-05T04:44:00.232-04:00

Here in the U.S. one of the two main political parties wants to build roads, protect the planet for future generations, and keep a global pandemic in check; the other wants to arm everyone, pretend systemic racism doesn't exist, force unwanted births, and [holy shit!] block Medicare from collectively negotiating drug prices so Americans can stop paying an average of 3.5 times the price for the same brand name drugs as the rest of the world. What is that about?

Even after the unconscionable post-Charlottesville comments, the Helsinki/Putin Public Felatio Incident, the Ukraine abuse of power for personal political gain, the election lies, the insurrection, the actual coup attempt by the guy who lost the election, Gilead & Little Gilead (the states formerly known as Texas and Ohio), there are still Americans who vote Republican. This is astounding. And terrifying.

Most congressional Republicans have signed on to the madness and continue pushing the election lies. Most of the rest are complicit in their silence and inaction. Seemingly a switch was flipped making the entire GOP full-on autocratic overnight. Of course it wasn't overnight, the skids were greased by decades of FOX News/televangelist/Rush Limbaugh lies softening the brains of and radicalizing the GOP rank and file to the point that most are now unquestioning supplicants of a wannabe facist. Considering the reality denial regarding race, climate change, the insurrection, the outright criminality of the previous administration, and the COVID pandemic (which has now claimed 750K+ in the U.S. and 5M+ worldwide), it is most certainly a massive collective psychosis.

We need to figure out how to reverse this trend fast because it is rapidly reversing decades of societal progress on many fronts. The GOP tried for years to take away healthcare (repeal and replace!), is successfully rolling back womens' rights, working to make it legal for just about anyone to carry a gun anywhere, making a mockery of the courts (see the judge in the Kyle Rittenhouse case and the jury in the Ahmaud Arbery case, and, oh yeah, undermining democracy.

Dangerous waters, these. Suggestions?

Keep current on all things BAGeL by subscribing to our new mailing list: https://bit.ly/BAGeLNews.

Today we will debut new music including songs by The High Water Marks (US/Norway, @TheHWMs), The Parrots (Madrid, Spain, @TheParrotsBand), and a previously unreleased Radiohead song. Yes, that's it. It was not a week for strong submissions. Well, it might have been, but so much arrived as low bit rate, and/or in the wrong format, and/or missing metadata...we'll never know.

"480 Minutes" - Human DJ > Algorhthm

2021-10-29T04:44:00.007-04:00

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of radio. My favorite DJs played my favorite songs and shared stories about seeing the bands perform and meeting the band members...radio was the greatest. The DJ was my friend who was "in the know" when it came to music, made me feel closer to the music, helped me to understand what it meant and sometimes revealed that it meant different things to different people, which was a special kind of eye-opening cool.

That type of radio has been devalued in the post radio consolidation era that saw Clear Channel (now the cutesy iHeart Radio), Entercom, and Cumulus buy up something like half of the radio stations in the country over the course of about 5 years. This consolidation and streamlining (that is having some bean counter in Denver programming dozens of stations across the country making redundant dozens of music-loving radio programmers) reduced the radio dial to a handful of cookie cutter formats with cookie cutter playlists. Sad.

It seems that even the music industry has lost sight of the promotional value of radio, maybe because there are so few (if any) slots allotted for new music each week on commercial stations. An example of how things have changed: we used to get records weeks in advance of their release. Recently, after spending 2 months excitedly counting down on air to Parquet Courts release day, that day came and there was no record for me to share with you. I felt like I'd let you all down. The album finally arrived here 4 business days after it was released, so I will get to share songs from it with you today, but seriously, labels/promo folks, I don't know what you're thinking waiting until after the thing is available to send out promo copies; if there is a reason, please fill me in.

Props to the few independent terrestrial and internet stations still making a go of it, supporting local and new and niche music, giving voice to thoughtful and/or entertaining personalities, expanding listeners' minds...hang on as long as you can. Some day the powers that be will realize what has been lost and hopefully enough of us who remember will still be around to bring it back.

And now for something completely different: web ads placed over the text I'm trying to read is a surefire way to get me to stop reading your content and never return. I know the bills have to be paid, but ruining the user experience may not be the best long-term business strategy. Then again, it has worked for Facebook...
