"480 Minutes"

I hope you can tune in today. The show contains so much great new music, stuff that you need to get hold of, stuff that is certain to make your summertime 2009 soundtrack.

Today's show includes new music from The Bicycles (Toronto, Canada), Boy In Static (San Francisco, CA), Built By Snow (Austin, TX), Chester French (Cambridge, MA), Empire Of The Sun (Perth, Australia), One For The Team (Minneapolis, MN), Other Girls (Cleveland, OH), Rye Rye (Baltimore, MD), Super Furry Animals (Cardiff, Wales), Wake The President (Glasgow, Scotland), Wild Moccasins (Houston, TX), and The Invisible Cities (San Francisco, CA).

There's a wild-looking event tonight at the Fillmore: Lucha VaVOOM's Buxom Beauties and Masked Mexican Marauders. Check out the site, it's not your usual BAGeL Radio recommendation fare, but it might just be the event to attend in San Francisco tonight.

Finally, one of the records we're going to be debuting today, Houses Shine Like Teeth by San Francisco's The Invisible Cities, is available for free digitally. There is a limited number of freebies, so head over to their site now and download your free copy. Use the promo code BAGELRADIO.

Please tune in this and every Friday to "480 Minutes," which runs live from 12 noon to 8 p.m. Eastern Time, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific.
