Thanks to everyone who came to the BAGeL Radio Half Dozenth Birthday Party at Bottom of the Hill, and thanks to the bands (Birdmonster, Railcard, Ricky Lee Robinson) for making it the best one yet.  In case anyone couldn't tell...I was thrilled.

480 Minutes podcasts: 1/30 & 1/23 & 2/7

For you Bay Area listeners there are a couple of good shows this weekend: tonight at the Hotel Utah it's Raised By Robots and Supervinos VTO (tickets here), then tomorrow night at Bottom of the Hill it's The Meat Puppets, Trainwreck Riders, and The Shaky Hands (a troika of BAGeL Radio bands!), and I'll be there DJing, so buy your tickets now (no fee!) while they are still available.

As alluded to in the title of this post, your humble narrator is looking for work. Fast. If you have any leads on SF Bay Area job openings that you think I would rock, please do let me know. Internet radio, music librarian, event coordinator, software quality assurance, helping to ease willing septuagenarians into the computer age...you name it, I'll consider it. Thanks.

Also, if you know anyone who would benefit from learning how to start a blog, podcast, and internet radio station, and learn how to maximize the synergies between them, please let them know that my class, "Blogs, Podcasts, and Internet Radio" starts up again on 2/7 at San Francisco State University. Sign up!

As for today's show, I must admit I am very psyched about several of the things we will be debuting. "480 Minutes" will feature new music today from Morrissey (Los Angeles, CA), Animal Collective (Baltimore, MD), Lily Allen (London, England), The Wrens (Secaucus, New Jersey), Now Now Every Children (Minneapolis, MN), A.C. Newman (Vancouver, Canada), Andrew Bird (Chicago, IL), Gemma Hayes (Dublin, Ireland), Vulture Whale (Birmingham, AL), Kyle Andrews (Nashville, TN), Freshkills (New York, NY), Sparks (Los Angeles, CA), and several cover versions of pop hits by cool bands including My Brightest Diamond, Robbers On High Street, and Frightened Rabbit.

OK, we're back, and there's so much good stuff to get to, I don't even know where to begin.

It gives me the warm fuzzies to hear that BAGeL Radio means so much to so many of you. Before the tears well up, let's move on along, shall we?

Many thanks to LoveLikeFire for their awesome intimate mini-set during The Rumble at Harlot last night. They were great. Speaking of great, guest DJ AmpLive, took the reigns after the live rock and showed this DJ how it's done. He was phenomenal.  I'd also like to give a shout out to the other sponsors of the event including The Owl Mag, Tankfarm Futuresounds, and SonicLiving, who have all played a big part in making The Rumble one of the coolest recurring events I have ever had the pleasure of being involved in.

There's a new start date for my Blogs, Podcasts, and Internet Radio, at San Francisco State University's College of Extended Learning: April 5th. The class meets Saturdays at the downtown SFSU campus , and you can sign up right now for the Spring semester, first meeting on 4/5/08.

First of all, to those who tried to tune in and couldn't or were dropped while listening recently -- all apologies. ISP issues, local network issues, server issues -- you name it, it hit us this week, and it sucked at this end, too. That's why the site and blog have remained static all week as well. Hopefully we'll get much if not all of that squared away this weekend.

Today's program will feature ticket giveaways for tonight's (11/16) BAGeL Radio Presents... event featuring The Warlocks, Darker My Love, and The Otherside @ Bottom of the Hill. Get in touch via instant messenger, e-mail, or carrier pidgeon when you hear songs by any of those bands on the station and you could win yourself a pair of tickets to the show.

Even if you don't win, buy tickets here and come down to Bottom of the Hill for the show.

Why?

Several reasons. For one, you need to experience the opiatedelic gloomgaze psych rock drone of LA's The Warlocks first-hand, in person. I was asked about the term opiatedelic, which I cointed myself while listening to the new Warlocks album -- let's just say the music can induce something akin to opiate-induced psychedelic states. Less technicolor flora, more dark shadows; less giddy joy, more shuddering orgasm. They are proceeded by the psych rock sonic assault of Darker My Love (think Ride meets The Byrds) a band that totally blew me away at CMJ in 2006. Two of them have the added distinction of having performed as The Fall, backing the ledgendary Mark E. Smith on the last tour (after the English musicians that had been The Fall got fed up with Mark E. Smith and fled back to England mid-tour) as well as on the most recent Fall album. Opening the show is BAGeL Radio local favorites The Otherside (think Interpol meets The Stone Roses mixed with some Catherine Wheel), who are in the process of recording their second album and based on the early results I have heard, this will be the one that leaks them to a far wider audience beyond the Bay Area. The live sets will be framed by DJ sets by yours truly peppered with psych rock new (Serena Maneesh, Black Angels, Icarus Line) and old (Beatles '65-'67, Echo & The Bunnymen, My Bloody Valentine). Finally, it's Bottom of the Hill, our favorite Bay Area live music venue.

That's why.

Today's show will feature new stuff from 60 Watt Kid (San Francisco, CA), A.K.A.C.O.D. (Cambridge, MA, think female-fronted Morphine), Biirdie (Glendale, CA), Birds of Avalon (Raleigh, NC), Cars & Trains (Portland, OR), Ego Plum and The Ebola Music Orchestra (Los Angeles, CA), Ex-Boyfriends (San Francisco, CA), Dave Gahan (UK), The Go Station (New York, NY), The Glad Version (Minneapolis, MN), The Houstons (Charlotte, NC), The Kindness Kind (Seattle, WA), Lucinda Black Bear (Brooklyn, NY), The Mary Onettes (Jönköping, Sweden), Monster Bobby (UK), Moros Eros (Acworth, Georgia), The Most Serene Republic (Milton, Canada), Muscles (Melbourne, Australia), Orba Squara (New York, NY), The Owls (Minneapolis, MN), Parker Street Cinema (San Francisco, CA), Ravens & Chimes (New York, NY), Shipwreck (Champaign, IL), Saturday Looks Good To Me (Ann Arbor, MI), Soft (Brooklyn, NY), Soulsavers (UK), Anna Ternheim (Sweden), and Why?
