480 Minutes - The World Is A More Sensible And Joyful Place...

2009-11-06T01:39:00.000-08:00

...when the Yankees are World Series Champions. I know, many of you don't like the fact, but it's true. Think about it -- Yankees win, Democrat in the White House. Last time the Yankees were winning a championships there was a Democrat in the White House. Time before that, in the late 1970s...Democrat in the White House. Coincidence? I think not.

Thanks for all of the congrats, especially from those of you I know are not fans of the 2009 World Series Champion New York Yankees. That was really sweet of you guys.

Anyway, tons of new music for you today, I am sure we can all agree that that is a good thing. New stuff getting it's BAGeL Radio debut today includes The Asteroid Galaxy Tour (Copenhagen, Denmark), Brilliant Colors (San Francisco, CA), Cold Cave (Philadelphia, PA), Drink Up Buttercup (Philadelphia, PA) (see, no hard feelings, Philly!), Letting Up Despite Great Faults (Los Angeles, CA), Locksley (Madison, WI), The Rentals (Los Angeles, CA), and Wolfmother (Sydney, Australia).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

480 Minutes - A Fall Classic Rerun

2009-10-30T08:10:00.000-07:00

Today's program will be a rerun of a previously broadcast edition of 480 Minutes. This happens when the Yankees are in the World Series. It cannot be helped. Go ANSKY!

480 Minutes will be back with an all-new edition next Friday, 11/6.

So for this Rerun we are going to try something a little different -- instead of one 480 Minutes program repeated throughout today and tomorrow we will have 4 different previously recorded 480 Minutes programs play back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Serving suggestion: go buy a case of the energy drink of your choice and listen to hosted BAGeL Radio programming for 40 straight hours beginning at 9 a.m. Pacific Time (11 a.m. Mountain, 10 a.m. Central, 11 a.m. Eastern, 17:00 Greenwich Mean Time). If you guys like the strung together hosted shows we will consider doing this more often, perhaps during the overnight hours when a host to keep you company might be nice. Please let us know what you think at feedback@bagelradio.com.

"480 Minutes" 10/23/09

2009-10-23T08:06:00.000-07:00

Well it's late October and that means Halloween, playoff baseball, and leaves a-turnin' colors. Even here in the Bay Area this year, the leaves are a-turnin' colors. It's pretty. It's also pretty amazing. Not as amazing as the baseball playoffs have been (umpiring notwithstanding), but amazing nonetheless. Go ANSKY!

Also amazing was the Treasure Island Music Festival (photos) last weekend. Sunday was perhaps the single strongest festival lineups I've ever seen. Highlights were Bob Mould playing pretty much all Sugar and Hüsker Dü songs, The Walkmen (they are hit or miss and no doubt this was a 'hit' performance), Spiral Stairs (aka Scott Kannberg of Pavement fame), and The Flaming Lips who were more than just the icing on the festival cake. It would have been worth standing outside in the cold all day just for them. If you've never seen The Flaming Lips take my advice and see them at your next opportunity. Even if you don't like their music, the live show is a spectacle that must be experienced. Take a day off work, drive a couple of hundred miles, fly...whatever it takes, next time they play anywhere near you, go. No excuses.

Today on BAGeL Radio we will feature brand-spanking new music from Man/Miracle (Oakland, CA), Middle Distance Runner (Washington, DC), Thao (Oakland, CA), and They Might Be Giants (Brooklyn, NY).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

"480 Minutes" - New Flaming Lips

2009-10-16T09:00:00.000-07:00

What are you going to be for Halloween this year? The wife is all over me about picking a costume, and the best thing I can can come up with is, "I just wanna be me!" That...will...not...do. Any ideas?

Today on BAGeL Radio we will feature brand-spanking new music from Flaming Lips (Norman, OK), The Authors (Montreal, Canada), CF Donohoe (Glasgow/Dallas), Clare & The Reasons (Brooklyn, NY), Exene Cervenka (X), Free Energy (Philadelphia, PA), The Ghost Is Dancing (Toronto, Canada), James Husband (Athens, GA), and Kurt Vile (Philadelphia, PA).

As always, your feedback on the latest playlist additions and whatever else is on your mind will be most appreciated Write to us at feedback@bagelradio.com, and please take the poll below. Also, I don't know how much longer I can bring myself to argue with "flat earthers" on the subject of radio's promotional value, but I felt the need to reply to a piece published in The Huffington Post that might as well come out of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) press office. The HuffPo didn't deem my edited-for-space comment worthy of publishing, so I published the comment as a whole here. Please read it and, whenever you hear "the music industry" aka the RIAA aka the major labels complain on behalf of artists, remember that "the "the music industry" aka the RIAA aka the major labels have been the vampires feasting on the blood of artists for decades.

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time.

Radio Has Promotional Value...

2009-10-12T16:28:00.001-07:00

...yet even The Huffington Post gets connived into publishing RIAA talking points to the contrary.

Here is my unedited response to their Radio Will Stop Playing Music piece:

To claim that MTV had no promotional value is absurd. Artists whose videos were played on MTV were exposed to millions of consumers and, as a result, those artists sold more product than had MTV not played their video.

Back in MTV's heyday, the recording industry (aka the major labels) spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on single promotional videos. That's what they were called: promotional. The major labels decided it was a good investment to spend big money to impress MTV to get the airplay to promote their products.

The same "airplay is promotional" has also long been true of radio, which is why for decades record labels illegally paid (payola) to get their records on the air. Labels gladly paid it. The fact that payola ever existed proves the point: labels paid radio to play and thereby promote their records.

You say: "the recording industry did not have strong enough lobbying power against the broadcasters in 1976 when the copyright law was amended."

Yeah, poor, out-moneyed recording industry! And then you continue, without irony, to state:

"Thankfully, the recording industry was smarter when it came to webcasters, satellite radio providers" as if those not-yet-in-existence in 1996 industries had a seat at the lobbying table when the Telecommunications Act to which you refer was created.

Finally, the misleading old: "people don't tune in to hear commercials." That's not even an argument, it's a misleading obfuscation. Commercials pay for operating costs. They are a necessity for free, over-the-air radio. Without advertising, free over-the-air radio would not exist. Listeners understand that. Do all music-loving radio-listeners (except advertisers) wish it could be all music, all the time? Sure. The terrestrial radio industry is simply not set up to work that way.

People tune in to hear music, and when they hear it on the radio, there is a chance listeners will go out and buy it, and maybe some t-shirts and other merchandise, and maybe buy a ticket to a live performance. If people don't hear it on the radio...they might not hear it at all. Where does that leave the artists?

"480 Minutes" - The Classic Rock Edition

2009-10-09T02:40:00.000-07:00

Why "The Classic Rock Edition?" I don't know. Maybe it's because the wife went to see Foreigner at the Fillmore last night, so when I was compiling the playlist that influenced me. Never fear, there is no Foreigner in today's playlist, but there are songs from classic rock juke box heroes like The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, and Queen, amongst others.

More importantly, today on BAGeL Radio we will feature brand-spanking new music from Amazing Baby (Brooklyn, NY), The Black Hollies (Jersey City, New Jersey), The Gossip (Portland, Oregon), The Headlights (Champaign, IL), Hockey (Portland, Oregon), Noah And The Whale (London, England), Pearl Jam (Seattle, WA), Pet Lions (Chicago, IL), A Place To Bury Strangers (Brooklyn, NY), Times New Viking (Columbus, OH), Two Hours Traffic (Prince Edward Island, Canada), Vivian Girls (Brooklyn, NY), and Windmill (London, England), featuring perhaps the finest cover art of 2009 :

Many thanks to DJ Aaron Axelsen of Live 105/Popscene and DJ Tom Thump, as well as to the bands who performed, Man/Miracle and Fitz & The Tantrums, for making our final Rumble at Harlot great fun. It will be sad to leave our home venue of the past two years, but we look forward to getting started at the Rumble SF's new home, The Rickshaw Stop, on Wednesday 11/4.
