@kristenkurtis.bsky.social thank you for the work you ALWAYS do for us, your listeners and community. But especially today as I recall vividly the moments of 9/11/01.

@djrobertdrake.bsky.social @wxpnfm.bsky.social loved the LOTL as always but what happened to song 2 of album…Take Me With U?? That’s an outstanding song

@kristenkurtis.bsky.social @wxpnfm.bsky.social why do I love WXPN so much? Because the first two songs on the 9:00 Friday tape mix are not typical Bruce songs. Radio Nowhere? Play Me My Money Down? Because earlier this week we heard plenty of Sonny Rollins and Miles. XPN continues to hit it!

@wxpnfm.bsky.social @djrobertdrake.bsky.social so happy to hear Joe Jackson on Land Of The Lost especially Five Guys Named Moe. One of his best albums. Just saw him at Park West in Chicago and excellent!!!

@wxpnfm.bsky.social Madonna Holiday is about 43 years old and sounds as fresh today as it did upon release. Amazing. #allaboutthemusic #xpnmusic

@wxpnfm.bsky.social #70smusic. Thank you for playing Peter Frampton comes alive. I have not listened to this in its entirety ever and I am thoroughly enjoying it. Even the songs I’m sick of. A wonderful 50th anniversary of this album and enjoyable hour and a half

@wxpnfm.bsky.social @danreed.bsky.social thank you so much for this delight!! Grew up hearing the Mackenzie Bros 12 days of christmas and have not heard it in decades. Yet still know the words. Huge smile. And a beer #abeerinatree #greatwhitenorth

#xpncountdown. So I’m surprised No Gaye/Terrell ain’t mountain high enough. No Joe Jackson covers (the Duke and Jumpin’ Jive). No Thompson Twins Revolution No All You Need Is Love No Dream #9 (REM) No I Kissed A Girl (Perry) @wxpnfm.bsky.social

@wxpnfm.bsky.social @rahrahraina.bsky.social #xpncountdown the Carpenters had a few outstanding covers not on this list (Ticket To Ride, We’ve Only Just Begun) but the Supersonic cover of Superstar gets the prize over Karen. I first heard that song in Juno. What a version.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social #xpncountdown the playlist just crashed on me in the apple app and on Google

Oldest song? Isn’t a fifth of Beethoven older than Star Spangled banner? 1808 is first performance. Star spangled banner is 1814 @wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social #xpncountdown

Well I just got news in the middle of this joyous countdown that Michigan football coach was fired for cause. I guess during a countdown of “covers”, this was “uncovered”. What’s an M fan to do? 😱 I guess that coach doesn’t “got a friend”. He’s not “the man”. Sorry not sorry #xpncountdown

Alan @bearclaw39.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

@wxpnfm.bsky.social #xpncountdown does anyone know if Jump or Baker Street are available on Spotify? Can’t find either (along with a few other fun covers)

.@rahrahraina.bsky.social @wxpnfm.bsky.social #Xpncountdown so many of these artists have been introduced to me thru the decades by XPN but say a little prayer always makes me think of Best Friends Wedding in a joyous scene (of maybe not a so nice movie). #WXPN

@wxpnfm.bsky.social you just played Jambalaya by Fats Domino. One of my fave covers of this song is my guilty pleasure by the carpenters. I’d love to hear that on XPN. Any day with a song by that group is a good day #covers #allaboutthemusic #itsavinylthing #XPN

@nprcodeswitch.bsky.social rather than having yet another anti Israel antisemitic podcast where you blame Jewish community for antisemitism (ties to Israel), maybe you ought to interview @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social and other non haters. People who CAN criticize yet still loudly support Israel.

@vogelbomb.bsky.social I am puzzled by your toss away comment in latest Savor podcast. U said it was Jewish to criticize genocidal whatever. What did u mean by that? That comment made me lose appetite for kugel or whatever else was discussed. Who was this directed at? Missed comment about hostages

@wxpnfm.bsky.social how was there even a show at The Mann that night? That is astounding to me.

@lauracoates.com @bradtodd.bsky.social @cnn.com Mr Todd you are so freaking disingenuous. You criticize Biden for not admitting shortcomings? You are ridiculous. name a single GOP president who has done that. Bush? Trump? Has Trump ever admitted anything ever? Stop being blind

@kallao.bsky.social #xpncountdown. @wxpnfm.bsky.social It’s almost like we were told this song would happen. #florenceandthemachine. Don’t know if this was in my top 10 but should have been #Shiptowreck

@wxpnfm.bsky.social #wxpn #885bestsongsof21stcentury If we have learned anything we cannot have an XPN countdown without the Boss. I suspect we will hear more.

@wxpnfm.bsky.social Did you make a Spotify playlist with this terrific countdown? #885

@kristenkurtis.bsky.social I am so happy you are back on social media. You always have such wisdom to share and humor too. Now onto the countdown.

@philklay.bsky.social This is exactly what I referred to in a prior question. How should Israel fight this? When the enemies hide behind or under civilians, hold hostages, steal aid, shoot into civilian areas and kill, should Israel say “it’s OK” while the enemy is unabated? Teach me

021

Alan @bearclaw39.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

@philklay.bsky.social listened to interview on Fresh Air, disappointed in your take regarding Hamas/Houthis/hezbollah/Iran war Israel in. How can you not even mention Israel’s enemies in criticism? How is this fight not as clear as Ukraine vs Soviets? How should any nation fight such enemies?
