Great new track from Gail Ann Dorsey played by @djrobertdrake.bsky.social on @wxpnfm.bsky.social this morning. She can be seen here killing it on bass with Tears For Fears on "Raoul and the Kings of Spain," the title track to one of their best — and one of their most under-the-radar — albums...

I love the last hour of #XPNTNB so much. Thank you very much @djrobertdrake.bsky.social for another great year of holiday music. We started last night at the top of the 24 hours wrapping presents and are finishing it with drinks on the couch, kiddo in bed, waiting for Santa. Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

@djrobertdrake.bsky.social thank you for doing The Night Before every Christmas Eve. Aretha Franklin’s Silent Night has me with such good chills. Closing it out with Jeff Buckley’s Hallelujah had me in tears, like every year. Thank you.

Made it to LBI where we go for Xmas Eve/Day & a few days after, ever since we fell into doing it during lockdown. Immediately brought up @djrobertdrake.bsky.social's TBN cam to keep me company as I finish wrapping and decorating. (The boys are listening in the car, 30 mins away; I left before them.)

Just finished wrapping presents & decided to sleep downstairs on the couch so I don't disturb the family upstairs. Fired up the #XPNTNB Jingle Cam on the TV to watch @djrobertdrake.bsky.social on @wxpnfm.bsky.social as I drift off. Merry Christmas, Robert!

Listening to the #XPNcountdown I think you can break it up into 4 chunks: first up "I never heard this version", followed by "Wait! That's a cover?!", then comes "Ooo that should have been on MY list!" and finally, "I can't believe this classic cover placed so low - travesty!" @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Eagles fans have known deep in their gut that this team sucked since week 5. We saw the inconsistent running game, the poor special teams, the lack of offensive creativity, the league leading three-and-outs. But hey! we had a parade less then 12 months ago, so I don't care.
