Great Parody of NIN

"480 Minutes" - Music Snobbery



I'm still a bit under the weather and crabby so I will start this off with a music snob rant: 

[start rant]

I find it more disappointing when a venue plays good music on shuffle than when they just play crap music.  In the latter scenario at least you know you never stood a chance of enjoying the tunes.  In the former it's like getting a less than great meal despite starting with great ingredients.  The aggravating inspiration for this rant happened at dinner at The Mighty Quinn in Manhattan on Tuesday night, where we were treated to train wreck of The Velvet Underground "Sunday Morning" into The Cure "Why Can't I Be You?" into the Pixies "Hey." In this instance the downtempo and quiet-starting "Hey" would have fit well immediately following the relatively slow and quiet "Sunday Morning." With the blaring horns and upbeat tempo of "Why Can't I Be You?" in the middle, it was apparent that the playlist was created by DJ iPod (aka shuffle), which will invariably make a mess of all but the most homogenous music libraries.  With all of the music services available today (not to mention us good old human music curator types still walking, breathing, and play-listing) there's no excuse for such laziness.

[end of rant]

On the flip side we got to see a terrific show at The Bowery Ballroom later that night featuring Blouse from Portland, OR -- live they reminded me of Boys Don't Cry/Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me Cure (skipping all records in between) fronted a an icy, hazy Slumberland Records-sounding female lead vocal -- and the increasingly amazing Dum Dum Girls, who make me smile even when they pillage shamelessly from Tommy James &The Shondells (check out videos 2 & 3 below to hear what I mean):


Today we will debut new songs by The Afghan Whigs (Cincinnati, OH, @TheAfghanWhigs), Cloud Nothings (Cleveland, OH, @cloud_nothings), Cola Koala (Russia), Colourmusic (Stillwater, OK, @colourmusic), Mac DeMarco (Edmondton, Canada, @MlsDeMarco), Tune-Yards (Oakland, CA, @TuneYards), Tycho (San Francisco, CA, @ISO50), White Hinterland (Scituate, MA, @WhiteHinterland), and Withered Hand (Edinburgh, Scotland, @WitheredHand).

"480 Minutes" - new Liars


This week was all about not sleeping for some unknown reason (potentially allergies).  By Wednesday the lack of sleep made everything one...long...(yawn)...drag.  It's hard to like new music when you feel like crud and just want to sleep, but somehow a few new records managed to slip past the snapping fangs of Misery, the crabby and exhausted guard dog, and will make their BAGeL Radio debuts today including songs by Big Scary (Melbourne, Australia, @BigScaryMusic), Burnt Ones (San Francisco, CA) Dana Falconberry (Austin, TX, @DanaFalconberry), Faces On Film (Boston, MA, @FacesOnFilm), Honeymilk (Stockholm, Sweden), Kevin Drew (Toronto, Canada, @KevinSelection), Liars (LA/NYC, @LiarsOfficial), Metronomy (London, England, @Metronomy), PINS (Manchester, England, @WeArePINS), Throwing Snow (London, England, @ThrowingSnow), and Walking Shapes (New York, NY, @WalkingShapes).

"480 Minutes" - new Coathangers, Orwells, Perfect Pussy


That NYC network weatherman (Lonnie) who told us over a week ago that we won't see temperatures "like these" (in the 20s) again until next Christmas is once again wrong.  It was in the 20s in NYC last week after he gave that assurance, and it was in the 20s again yesterday. I'm starting to think he's not actually an accredited meteorologist, but then again, I've lived in a place without weather for the past 15 years, so maybe I should cut him some slack.  

Meanwhile on Tuesday evening I was walking down Broadway and noted that it was 60 degrees at 10p.m.  Coupla days ago.  Unreal.

Today's brand new episode of the award-winning, live-hosted 480 Minutes program (Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern U.S.Time) will debut some pretty pop, raucous noise, and a mess of weird shit including songs by The Can't Tells (Brooklyn, NY, @TheCantTells), The Coathangers (Atlanta, GA, @TheCoathangers), Dry Heeves (Lubbock, TX, @LeDryHeeves), Jesus Sons (San Francisco/Los Angeles, CA, @JesusSonsBand), Little Children (Stockholm, Sweden, @Children_Little), The Orwells (Chicago, IL, @TheOrwells), Perfect Pussy (Syracuse, NY), Roman Remains (London, England, @Roman_Remains), Secret Colours (Chicago, IL, @SecretColours), Traumahelikopter (Groningen, The Netherlands, @trmhlkptr), and Trin Tran (Madison, WI).

"480 Minutes" - new Neneh Cherry...yes, Neneh Cherry. Also, 28 Minutes Worth of New Elbow


Earlier this week a NYC network weatherman (who shall remain nameless) told us we won't see temperatures "like these" (in the 20s) again until next Christmas.  When temperatures were in the low 20s today that boy showed no remorse, did not own up to his mistaken bold statement, and lost my respect forever and ever.  Not that I ever had much respect for weathermen, other than the incomparable Al Kaprielian, of course.

Today's brand new episode of our live-hosted 480 Minutes program (Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern U.S.Time) will debut songs by The Black Lips (Atlanta, GA, @TheBlackLips), Damaged Bug (SF/LA, CA, @TheeOhSees), Elbow (Manchester, England, @Elbow), Heartsrevolution (New York, NY, @hrtsrevolution), Krebs (Glenolden, PA), Menace Beach (Leeds, England, @MENACE_BEACH), Neneh Cherry (London, England, @MissCherryLala), Phantogram (Saratoga Springs, NY, @Phantogram), and Twin Peaks (Chicago, IL, @TwinPeaksDudes).
