Cinco de Mayo RUMBLE SF!

2010-04-20T10:02:00.000-07:00

It's that time again, The Rumble SF is just around the corner on Wednesday May 5th 2010 at Cafe du Nord. The event will feature live sets from The Ferocious Few (San Francisco, CA, CD Release Party), Mississippi Man (Los Angeles CA), and The Sermon (San Francisco, CA), and as always since we started this thing back in 2007, Ted from BAGeL Radio will be there DJing between bands.

RSVP here for free admission

It also happens to be Cinco de Mayo, which to some translates to Drink-0 de Mayo. I'm not naming names, but I will say it's going to be a party. See you there.

"480 Minutes" - Atypical

2010-04-16T01:05:00.000-07:00

If you are heading to Coachella or know anyone who is, do not miss our indispensable Coachella Tips list.

Today will be an atypical edition of 480 Minutes -- usually this show highlights all of the latest playlist additions being added to the station rotation next week. Today, however, we will unveil no new music and instead focus on recent playlist additions plus some all-time great songs.

Also today we will be giving away tickets to the show we are promoting tonight with our friends at Soma FM -- Love Is All (Gothenberg, Sweden), Princeton (Eagle Rock, CA), and Butterfly Bones (SF, CA) @ The Rickshaw Stop. Get in touch when you hear a song by any of those bands during today's 480 Minutes program for chance to win a pair of tickets to the show, or buy tix in advance. April is a little ridiculous for shows in the Bay Area, but I'm going to bite the bullet and try to see every last one. Or at least the ones listed below in the Bay Area Gig eList.

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

Don't forget to contact us during live show hours:

Coachella Tips

2010-04-15T14:53:00.001-07:00

Going to Coachella this year? I'm not. Ever since they booked Jack Johnson, the wife and I wiped our hands clean of the event. Before that we loved it. We'd rent a house in Palm Springs, share it with friends from the Bay Area, SoCal, the East Coast...it was a reunion, fun around the pool, grilling outdorrs, plus a grand musical extravaganza. But, alas, they blew it for us. Here are some photos I took during our final Coachella:

A few tips I compiled for a friend who is going for the first time this year:

First thing to do is check the Coachella FAQ at Coachella.com to see what you can and cannot bring onto the grounds -- trust me, you will not want to have to find your way back to your car after navigating to the gate. It's a hike.
Make sure your tickets are for the right day (OK, I admit it, I made this bone-headed mistake once)
Bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat. It's the desert and it's hot and sunny and there's not a whole helluva lot of shade, especially if you are at the outdoor stages most of the day. One Sunday a few years ago temps reached 107 degrees F. Srlsy.
Bring sweatshirts/layers -- even though it will be hot, and you won't want to carry much around with you, once the sun goes down it will get chilly, and you will feel it after being in the sun all day. 30 degree temperature drops are not uncommon.
Make a schedule -- understand that there's overlap and you likely won't get to see every act you want to see, so make sure you get to the stages of the bands you really want to see 15 or more minutes before set times so you can get a decent view.
Plan to get to the venue well ahead of the first set you want to see. If you are driving (as opposed to biking or cabbing), understand that the roads in Indio get jammed up for this event. One year it took us 3 hours to go 20 miles (from Palm Springs), most of that time was the final 2 miles. That was the exception, not the rule, but something to be aware of. Once you park it will be another 20 minutes to walk to the gate, then however long you have to wait in line, so build in that time to your plans.
As soon as you park, MARK THE LOCATION IN YOUR iPHONE. If you or someone you are going with does not have an iPhone or another phone with GPS, get one. Srlsly. The parking lots are really dusty and if the wind kicks up it makes it really hard to find your car. Even sober.
If you have extra batteries for your phone or camera, charge them up and bring them along. Long days, few outlets. I used a Mophie Juice Pack Air rechargeable battery/case for my iPhone last month at SXSW and found it very handy.
Don't drink alcohol until the sun goes down-- you will be tired enough after hours and hours in the heat, plus all of the walking around the grounds. Hydrate yourself during the day.
Wear the most comfortable shoes you own that will also provide some measure of protection when you get stepped on by someone's steel-toes. "Gellin'"
is not just for the awkward yuppie meatheads in the TV commercials.
Pace yourself, especially if you are going to all 3 days.
Bring cash for food, water, merch, brownies...
If you are going with a group don't be afraid to split up, but make sure there are designated meet-up times and places. Once it gets dark it can be awfully hard to find people. Don't count on cell phones working well. Besides poor reception, many a battery will be dead by nightfall.
If you are not dying to see one of the headliners, getting out of Dodge before the big crowds leave can get you home a lot faster than waiting until the end.

Hope they come in handy, and you have a great time. If you have any other tips, please leave a comment. Oh, and if you see Jack Johnson, ask him what he was doing headlining an "alternative" music festival and what his songs are doing on "alternative" rock radio playlists. Thanks!

"480 Minutes" - New Black Keys, New Young Pony Club

2010-04-09T01:30:00.000-07:00

First some sad news: Malcolm McLaren, band manager (Sex Pistols, Adam & The Ants, Bow Wow Wow, New York Dolls), musician, fashion designer, and self-publicist extraordinaire died this week at age 64 after a battle with cancer.

On a more pleasant note, thanks to everyone who made it out to the April Rumble @ Milk Bar featuring Pepper Rabbit, Veil Veil Vanish, and Silver Swans. The bands were all good, the venue is pretty cool...now if only we could find a way to get people to come to the Upper Haight! FYI next month (5/5) the Rumble returns to Cafe du Nord.

Together with our friends at Soma FM, BAGeL Radio will be presenting an excellent show next Friday -- Love Is All (Gothenberg, Sweden), Princeton (Eagle Rock, CA), and Butterfly Bones (SF, CA) @ The Rickshaw Stop -- and you can win tickets during the show today. Get in touch when you hear a song by any of those bands during today's 480 Minutes program for chance to win a pair of tickets to the show, or buy tix in advance. April is a little ridiculous for shows in the Bay Area, but I'm going to bite the bullet and try to see every last one. Or at least the ones listed below in the Bay Area Gig eList.

Today 480 Minutes will debut new recordings from The Black Keys (Akron, OH), Roky Erickson With Okkervil River (Austin, TX), The Mynabirds (Omaha, NE), The Tallest Man On Earth (Dalarna, Sweden), The Secret History (New York, NY), Gil Scott-Heron (Jackson, TN), Jonsi (Iceland), Laura Marling (London, England), Fakeyourowndeath (San Francisco, CA), Kings Go Forth (Milwaukee, WI), and New Young Pony Club (London, England).

Texas-related Rerun

2010-03-19T03:51:00.000-07:00

Good morning!

Good news: BAGeL Radio is going to Austin, TX, for the South By Southwest (aka SXSW) Music Festival!

Not such good news: as a result of our travels, this week's edition of 480 Minutes will be a rerun.

Better news (but still not as good as the news about going to SXSW): the rerun is an episode you likely never heard, and certainly never heard in it's entirety. Throughout the day that this episode aired live, we had network difficulties, so except for the most obsessive 480 Minutes listeners, most are unlikely to have caught this one. The playlist included so much great new music that the show ended up quite good despite the dejected (due to technical difficulties) mood of the host.

If you find yourself wandering around Austin aimlessly on Thursday during the day, please stop by The Beauty Bar. I will be DJing the 3rd Annual Bay Area Takeover from 11:30 a.m. - 6 p.m., so stop by and say hi. I'll be the guy with the headphones who is not the sound engineer. The event features some terrific Bay Area bands including Man/Miracle and Geographer.

Also, we will be updating our Twitter feed (http://twitter.com/bagelradio) regarding which shows/events we attend, so add us to your "following."

Have a lovely weekend, everyone.

Ted

"480 Minutes" - new Frightened Rabbit

2010-03-12T01:37:00.000-08:00

Today on 480 Minutes you can once again win tickets to see a special BAGeL Radio Presents... screening of the new White Stripes documentary, Under Great White Northern Lights, at the Roxie Theater. Get in touch whenever you hear a White Stripes song on BAGeL Radio between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time today. The screening is this Monday, March 15th.

Today was a rough week. For much of it when I listened to new submissions I hated everything I heard. When I listened again yesterday (with about 150 additional items in the weekly vetting playlist), I found tons of great stuff, so yes, indeed, there will be new playlist additions next week.

Today 480 Minutes will debut the aforementioned new playlist additions from Aloha (Cleveland, OH), Archie Bronson Outfit (Bath, England), The Besnard Lakes (Montreal, Canada), Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (Los Angeles), Broken Bells (New York, NY), The Bundles (New York, NY), Clogs (Brooklyn, NY), Drink Up Buttercup (Philadelphia, PA), Frightended Rabbit (Selkirk, Scotland), Gorillaz (London, England), The Hotrats (Oxford, England), Lawrence Arabia (Christchurch, New Zealand), Liars (New York, NY), The Morning Benders (Brooklyn, NY), One For The Team (Minneapolis, MN), Ortolan (Riverside, New Jersey), The Splinters (Berkeley, CA), Tunng (London, England), and Univox (Philadlephia, PA).

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time. Well, not next Friday (3/19), because we will be taking next week off to attend SXSW (South By Southwest), the annual music festival in Austin, TX. We'll be back the following Friday (3/26) with some new gems we stumble across at the festival.

If you are going to be in Austin for SXSW please stop by The Beauty Bar on Thursday, 3/18, where we will be co-hosting and DJing the 3rd Annual Bay Area Takeover from 11:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. with our friends at The Bay Bridged.

"480 Minutes" - Once Again Taking IM Requests!

2010-02-12T02:12:00.000-08:00

Hello friends, enemies, listeners, readers, thinkers, creationists (you know, the folks picking the textbooks for our school kids), and all those in between.

Last night my brother and sister went to a Broadway show and sat a few ~~rows~~ seats from U2 lead singer Bono. Shocking, I know, but true. They both told me. Independently of one another. That's how I know they are not lying.

So today marks the return of a part of 480 Minutes that is meaningful to some of you and for others, not so much: contacting the DJ via Instant Messenger. You can make requests, comment on songs that are playing, rag on songs that never should have been played...whathaveyou. Try it, you might like it. Just let the DJ know who you are and where you are IMing from.

Today 480 Minutes will debut new songs by from Malachai (Bristol, England), Polysics (Japan), Seth Augustus (San Francisco, CA), Cold War Kids (Long Beach, CA), Freelance Whales (Queens, NY), Hanne Hukkelberg (Oslo, Norway), Chet (Victoria, BC, Canada), Xiu Xiu (Brooklyn, NY), Laarks (Eau Claire, WI), Phantogram (Saratoga Springs, NY), Dune Tran (San Francisco, CA), Bettie Serveert (Amsterdam, Netherlands), and the new side project by Eddie Argos (of Art Brut) and Dyan Valdes (of The Blood Arm) called Everybody Was In the French Resistance...Now! (Los Angeles, CA)

Please tune in today and every Friday to 480 Minutes between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time. If that time doesn't work for you, the show is rebroadcast on Friday nights and then twice on Saturday, so you can get your fix then.
