“480 Minutes” - Dog Days
Lyric of the week (from a song that came out in 2025): “You fly the flag of benevolent nationalism/With threat of theological fascism/And have the audacity to call it freedom/This word you can't define/That you can't spell/That you can't hold in your hands/Because your hands are filled with hypocrisy shaped like assault rifle sex toys,” but you really should read the lyric in its entirety.
It’s the dog days of summer here in NYC. We’ve had a few hours respite here & there in recent weeks but for the most part it’s been hot, hot, humid, & hot. Fortunately for me all of the subway cars I’ve ridden in have been air conditioned b/c subway cars w/o AC in August are, shall we say, not pleasant.
And now that we’re done talking about the weather…
Today’s award-winning live-hosted 480 Minutes show will feature new 🎶 from Ceremony (Rohnert Park, CA, @ceremony), Dead Pioneers (Denver, CO, @Dead.Pioneers), Dry Cleaning South London, England, @DryCleaningBand), Getdown Services (Bristol, England, @GetdownServices), Gurry Wurry (Edinburgh, Scotland,@GurryWurry), & Slow Fiction (New York, NY, @SlowFictionBand).
