To paraphrase Mark Twain, the rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated. BAGeL Radio is still on the air and streaming, now via a different service. Apologies to those of you who had the BAGeL Radio stream bookmarked in your player and/or browser windows. The stream URL has changed. For now please use:

http://www.live365.com/stations/leibowt?play

At some point soon we hope to have a better solution. In the meantime, please do the one-time free sign-up with Live365, it's quick and easy.

By the way, next week (Wednesday 3/4) is The Rumble. I'll be DJing with favorite partner-in-crime Aaron Axelsen of Live105, plus there will be intimate live mini-sets by Lilofee and Hot Challenge. RSVP here (http://sonicliving.com/theowlmag/therumble) for free admission, and forward that RSVP info to your friends so that they can get on the list, too.

Today's show will feature new music from Worker Bee (San Francisco, CA), We Know Mason (Barry, Wales, England), Tune-Yards (Vermont), Sin Fang Bous (Reykjavik, Iceland), Railcars (San Francisco, CA), Handsome Furs (Montreal, Canada), I Was A King (Egersund, Norway), Pilot Cloud (Philadelphia, PA), Superdrag (Nashville, TN), Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Brooklyn, NY), Kinetic Stereokids (Flint, MI), The Whip (Manchester, England), Sunset (Austin, TX), Mynx (Los Angeles, CA), Say Hi (Seattle, WA), Real Estate (Ridgewood, New Jersey), Lady Sovereign (London, England), and The Black Lips (Atlanta, GA).

Did you see what the California legislative Republicans almost did?  They almost brought the 8th largest economy in the world to it's knees.  They almost caused great harm to the many already suffering Californians.  The Governator tried to add a 9% tax to veterinary services. Sorry, Fido, no shots for you this year...we can't afford to take you to the vet!

Anyway, today's show will feature new music from Yeah Yeah Yeahs (Brooklyn, NY), U2 (Dublin, Ireland), Mirah (Portland, OR), These Are Powers (Chicago, IL), The Soundtrack of Our Lives (Göteborg, Sweden), Mumiy Troll (Vladivostok, Russia), Telepathe (Brooklyn, NY), Everything Absent Or Distorted (Denver, CO), The Takeover UK (Pittsburgh, PA), The Laureates (Chicago, IL), Marissa Nadler (Boston, MA), Youth Group (Sydney, Australia), and Lucky Jesus (San Francisco, CA).
