Hello and welcome to the final 480 Minutes show of 2011.  It's been another amazing year of amazing new music.  Next time you hear some talking head talks about the decline of the music business tell him you are paying attention to the man behind the curtain and said man is full of shit.  Maybe the giant labels are seeing sales decline, but great music is still being made and these days it is actually making it out of the garage and onto people's smartphones!
