Today's 480 Minutes (every Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Eastern Time) episode will debut new songs by Cate Le Bon (Penboyr, Wales, @CateLeBon), Cheap Time (Nashville, TN, @Cheap_Time), Daniel Harnett (New York, NY), The Entrance Band (Los Angeles, CA, @theentranceband), Half Film (San Francisco, CA), Jesus Sons (San Francisco/Los Angeles, CA, @jesussonsband), Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks (Portland, OR, @MalkmusAndJicks), and The Vickers (Florence, Italy, @The_Vickers).

Last week we were off for Thanksgiving. The week before we were staying in Manhattan and attempted a remote broadcast from there, which failed miserably.

In light of these sad facts I am so looking forward to today's show that I can hardly contain myself. Even though the main broadcast MacBook just required Recovery Disk-level maintenance!
