Hands up if you're in the market to discover some new music!
Lucky for you, every Friday you can tune in for eight hours of new indie rock and noise pop courtesy of DJ Ted at BAGeL Radio. He listens to hundreds of CDs each week and hand-picks the very best to play on his internet radio station BAGeL Radio, and on Fridays he presents a live broadcast curated with the freshest stuff he's got to offer. All of this is free of charge! Can you even believe it? Here's what he's got in store for you today:
"Today's '480 Minutes' show will feature new songs from The Breeders (Dayton, OH), The Wombats (1st US release, Liverpool, UK), Tapes 'n Tapes (Minneapolis, MN), The Black Keys (Akron, OH), The Black Box Rebellion (Brussels, Belgium), R.E.M. (Athens, GA), Finest Dearest (San Francisco, CA), Doctors & DealersFoals (Oxford, UK), Mono Taxi (London, UK), Cut Copy (Melbourne, Australia), Eric Avery (of Jane's Addiction, Los Angeles, CA), Moby (New York, NY), Neva Dinova (Omaha, NE), The Parlor Mob (NJ), plus Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (UK) and The Raconteurs (Detroit, MI)."
Here's Ted recording a station ID with one of my favorite humans of all time, before the X show at SXSW (more X, Ted, John & SXSW on my Flickr):
No idea what he's pointing at. Caption, anyone?
"480 Minutes" runs live every Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time, and is rebroadcast on Saturday if you missed it.
