We are thinking of doing some limited edition Tshirts with some of our channel logos on them. You'd have to pre-order them, and it will take about 8 weeks to get them. Would you be interested? What channels should we do them for?

We play a lot of indie music. Want to submit music? Don't post it here; it won't get to the right music directors. Seefor our process of submitting music. Thanks!

We'll cover the Soyuz landing that @Cmdr_Hadfield is returning to earth on shortly MissionControl, at about 6:20pm pacific (9:20lm pacific)

Like Groove Salad but want to try something a little more analog? Give Space Station Soma a listen!

Good morning/afternoon/evening, whichever is correct for when you are reading this. Welcome to the weekly note that reveals all of the new playlist additions set to debut during today's edition of 480 Minutes, our weekly marathon award-winning 8-hour live-hosted radio show: This Sunday we celebrate Mother's Day here in the U.S. (well, not everyone celebrates), so we will sprinkle in some mother-related songs throughout the day. Or maybe during one set -- the "mother" of all sets, anyone? We shall she. Today's installment of 480 Minutes will also feature new music by Alpine (Melbourne, Australia), The Baptist Generals (Denton, TX). The Bats (Christchurch, New Zealand), Big Black Delta (Los Angeles, CA), Gold & Youth (Vancouver, Canada), Michael Cronin (San Francisco, CA), Pure X (Austin, TX), Savages (London, England), Small Black (Brooklyn, NY), Vampire Weekend (New York, NY), and We Are Loud Whispers (Tokyo, Japan/Seattle, WA). (In case you are wondering, the new Michael Cronin record is ridiculously fantastically awesomely great pop and I hate it because I can't figure out which song to play for you first).

Great in-studio performance today. Rusty talked with Steve Roach afterwards and we'll be publishing the Podcast of that and more photos in the next 24 hours. Thanks for listening!
