The BAGeL Radio Friday Live Broadcast will heretofore be known as "480 Minutes."  The show is eight hours long.  Yes, I know it's insane to do an 8-hour live radio show.  I've been told this by many a radio veteran.  The fact is the live show started off as a two hour show, expanded to three, was bullied into stretching to five (thanks, Tim), and reached it's current length on July 30th, 2004.  The playlist generally lasts for ten hours, and once topped twelve.

"8 Hours" just sounds like 1/3 of a Keifer Sutherland television series, or a the rallying cry of a union leader (remember those?), don't you think?  Anyway, there is still some internal debate about the name, so if you have any thoughts about it or suggestions, please share by sending an e-mail to feedback@bagelradio.com.  Thank you.

New music today will include The Morning Benders (Pick-O-BAGeL), Say Hi To Your Mom (Pick-O-BAGeL), Second Story Man, The New York Dolls (yes, those New York Dolls), Priestess (not as metal as that sounds, but kinda metal), Clouds Forming Crowns, The Coral Sea, Black Fiction, Judah Johnson (no relation to Jack), Rise Against, The Cherry Tempo, and Bound Stems (Pick-O-BAGeL). Yay new Bound Stems -- the arrival of their new album totally made my Thursday.
