A.P.O.E- i declare Phrase of the day stolen from @fesshole.bsky.social as "flag-shaggers, illiterates, reactionaries and general numpties". My man, you should see the cesspool of inbreeding and racism below the Mason Dixon line.

I'm embarrassed to admit I've never heard u2's Grammy winning song played on #wxpn by spiffy @kristenkurtis.bsky.social. hope she'll play more Grammy winners. I must have been busy raising kids. This could be a fun snow day.

Since @wxpnfm.bsky.social is doing a thing about drummers whosing,dont miss Neil Peart of RUSH-not your typical genre, he wrote nearly all&sang some of their greatest hits. Ps-did anyone publish One Vote Wonders of #xpncountdown? I'll wager a few progrockers mentioned their cover album, Feedback.

Truest statement about American politics 2026 yet. Hold please. Make that world politics. Maybe we didn't win WWII sheet after all. Ffs. ~~~¡Shaky damn fist!~~~
I feel like we’re living in a dystopian novel so dystopian that even if Huxley, Orwell and Bradbury had collaborated on a book, the three of them together couldn’t have dreamt this shit up.

does anyone else think 1pot of coffee NYE marathon @djrobertdrake.bsky.social on @wxpnfm.bsky.social tonight? seems wildly optimistic. I'd need coffee IV drip& hourly bump of coke from a lissome, blonde, six foot tall member of the Norwegian nude volleyball Lady's team, ideally. Don’t judge. #lessok

Final call for fellow music lovers& #xpncountdown fans. Let's share our top 10 of as many of the past capers you've got data on,& praps potential ones to nudge towards higher powers at #wxpn. Slide into my dms, I'll hook you up w/ zoom link for tomorrow morning 1000-1100. Someday you'll thank me!
The reason I'm pitching my vision board workshop is thinking about the NEXT #xpncountdown. We've done women, covers, best ever, and I'd love to get ahead of the next one with some research. What's up next #wxpn?

Is anyone else pregaming for the next installment of #xpncountdown? How about getting outta your coffee nook&become a paid supporter of #wxpn, or at least your local #npr station. Less than 5% of listeners donate. That's criminal! This content is worth 149% better than ANY streaming TV channel.

Lt.jg. Staci Eliza English,usn, tried to convert me into a dead head years ago. She converted me into many other things tho. Hearing yet another cut from Dedicated on #xpncountdown I can't help but wonder if she was right about everything. And I was wrong. I gave up on us, and them. too soon. Ugh.

As one carps about Beatles over-influence of #xpncountdown, prayerfully consider they were an actual supergroup before we used that term so loosely.Other than Ringo-He wasn't even the best drummer in the band. But, they needed a 4th for poster & album cover balance.Change my mind,or cash me oussie!

The only better way to spend eight minutes with Janis Joplin would involve satin sheets, a mirrored ceiling,a disco ball, several grams of coke on her lower back, and a bonus hour for her to sing Bobby McGee to me. Endlessly. #xpncountdown
