"480 Minutes"- new Black Keys

Ladies, gentlemen, and everyone in between and outside...welcome to the final edition of 480 Minutes of the year before everyone's favorite show of the year: the Best Music Of The Year, next Friday, December 16th.

We have a few very last-minute playlist additions today, including an almost-impossibly late entry for Album Of The Year consideration, The Black Keys' El Camino.  At this time of year it's pretty much all about figuring out the best songs/albums/shows of 2011, but those BKs have thrown a 10-gallon hat in the ring.  Other new additions include Lovers (Portand, OR), Mark Lanegan Band (Seattle, WA), Norse Horse (California), and The Twilight Sad (Kilsyth, Scotland).

Please mark your calendars and buy your tickets: BAGeL Radio Presents... Her Space Holiday at Bottom of the Hill along with Silver Swans and City Light on Friday Saturday (yes next Friday is going to be a busy busy day around here!), December 16h, 2011.  When you hear a song by any of the three bands during the live show (Fridays, 9a.m. - 5p.m. Pacific Time) today, get in touch and you might win yourself a pair of free free a-yuh I said free tickets to the show. Consider yourself alerted.
