Listening to @wxpnfm.bsky.social thru the day, kept thinking I was waking up again and again on Sunday am for Sleepy Hollow… twas just another creative #TBTXPN featuring “Unplugged” treasures, though! Thx for the fun ride, everyone who made it happen. @kristenkurtis.bsky.social @jmcgnn.bsky.social

Today’s Yacht Rock #TBTXPN on @wxpnfm.bsky.social kinda makes me feel like hopping into a rental-car-generic 4-door sedan, driving the speed limit, and picking up some vanilla ice cream… still very much enjoying it, though, and wondering why the heck I can name most artists within 10 secs… #70sTeen

Today’s #TBTXPN of Jam Bands on @wxpnfm.bsky.social - AKA The Day the Hosts Have No Problem Fitting in a Bathroom Break. Rock on.

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Seems like an appropriate license plate to spot during my pm dog walk today while streaming (loudly) @wxpnfm.bsky.social Loving this ABCs of R&B theme for the last two #TBTXPN installments!!! Well done, all who make it happen.

If u like Funky Friday on @wxpnfm.bsky.social U R going to LOVE today’s #TBTXPN - full day of R&B/soul in alpha order by song title. Try to guess what’s next! (very bummed I missed the “Boogie” portion of the show during my am bike ride) 12 more hours coming!!! @jmcgnn.bsky.social in the chair til 2

Ending #TBTXPN with The End, the iconic tune from the iconic Apocalypse Now. Well played @jmcgnn.bsky.social and @wxpnfm.bsky.social. Thx for an insanely fun day of radio; made my mulching duties fly by!

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 04/06/2026

From James Brown to Spinal Tap to Julie Andrews… that’s why you gotta love & $upport @wxpnfm.bsky.social, especially on #TBTXPN (the Singles four-play was well worth the price of membership, too…)

My column on Trump's a "civilization will die tonight" threat: "What if this loon running our country plans to destroy an entire nation, civilians and all,? The fact that none of us can say with certainty that Trump would never do that is reason enough to panic." www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

By proudly announcing 'a whole civilization will die tonight,' President Donald Trump appears to have embraced historical infamy.

Now that the #XPNCountdown is over, my wife has regained control of the Sonos speakers thru the house, so it’s back to Xmas carols while she bakes. Yup - we’re still listening to covers… @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Wish I had hexed this equipment when I saw it in the bowels of Madison Square Garden Monday am! (I was working there) @scoar.bsky.social @zephyrsky.bsky.social

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

THX @wxpnfm.bsky.social!!! An epic #XPNCountdown - awesome job to all involved!!! While we’re all warm & fuzzy about XPN, it’s a great time for us sustaining members to up our monthly donation. Looks like only about 7% of XPN’s 28K members did so last year, so let’s move that needle in gratitude.

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Kind of off topic, but since everyone’s here now, anybody want 2 tix for Rhett Miller tomorrow night at 118 North in Wayne? I bought them at Festival, but now I can’t go, unfortunately. Freebies. #XPNCountdown

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Now that Dan Reed has settled in to bring us home on the #XPNCountdown, what are odds he punks us when he gets to #1 and plays first few bars/bells of Bruce’s Santa Claus Is Coming to Town…? 🎅 @wxpnfm.bsky.social Also, no chance for Beatles to catch that Complete Unknown for most songs covered.

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

The #XPNCountdown stats page is awesome. That said, here’s one to add: Most DJ Hours in the Chair (your Top 3, assuming it ends at 7 tonight) 3) @kristenkurtis.bsky.social - 12 hrs 2) Dan Reed - 14 hrs 1) Mike V - 23 hrs & 26 minutes Mike’s commanding lead comes despite a 34-min break for F@Noon

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

So glad I remembered my ear buds for Weis; got to hear Bill Shatner doing Common People. Just hope nobody I know saw me in the dairy aisle cackling loudly like a crazy person when it came on… #XPNCountdown @wxpnfm.bsky.social

Anyone else thinking that there may be a “Countdown Flu” epidemic tomorrow, from which everyone will make a miraculous 1-day recovery? #XPNCountdown #gladtoberetired @wxpnfm.bsky.social @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Though it’s been 170 songs since we’ve heard from Phish on #XPNCountdown (true…) they’re still #2 in total airtime (44+ mins.). Beatles have had twice as many songs (10) as Phish, but barely 1/2 as much airtime (25 mins). Teach a man to Phish and he’ll jam all day, apparently… @wxpnfm.bsky.social

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

A sure measure of just how captivating is the #XPNCountdown: My non-XPN-fan wife has been holiday baking since 9 am, but has refrained from commandeering the Sonos speakers to play her Xmas tunes (which r pretty much all covers, too, of course…) cuz she’s so loving the Countdown @kallao.bsky.social

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

I think we’ll see a stronger & stronger correlation btw “This should be ranked higher!” posts & “I didn’t know this was a cover!” posts referencing the same song on the #XPNCountdown… #DidntKnowItWasACover-itis @wxpnfm.bsky.social

020

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Dylan (32) and The Beatles (18) are now responsible for a combined 50 songs on the #XPNCountdown - or about 7% of the nearly 700 songs we’ve heard. How many Top 10ers will they have?! @wxpnfm.bsky.social

010

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

And we’ve hit the 3/4 pole of the #XPNCountdown with song #222 in the books - 664 down, 221 to go! Great ride so far - thx to everyone at @wxpnfm.bsky.social for making it happen, and all the eclectic votes!

030

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Would not have predicted Britney Spears to be tied w/ Joni Mitchell & Radiohead - the most-played artists from the last 2 Countdowns - at this point in the #XPNCountdown w/ 4 covers each, but that’s where we are! #LiveRadioFun

030

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Unfortunate we didn’t get a Doors cover on this, Jim Morrison’s birthday (12/8), but maybe they’ll Break on Through tomorrow on the #XPNCountdown on @wxpnfm.bsky.social Such a great Countdown!!! #GoBirds

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

This “Leaderboard” of names looks like you might expect from an #XPNCountdown over the years. I’d submit it’s anything but a typical Countdown, though! So many reimagined/reinterpreted works that I’ve never heard, but am really enjoying. Nice voting, peeps and great job @wxpnfm.bsky.social staff!

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

We’re just about 1/3 of the way thru the #XPNCountdown, and looking at this post from before it started, I’d say 4) has been my most frequent reaction. More proof of how awesome the @wxpnfm.bsky.social voters/fans/members are!!! Let’s go Day 4!!!

020

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 05/12/2025

Like my 2006 Volvo, the #XPNCountdown breaks for Free at Noon on @wxpnfm.bsky.social… So much fun so far!!! Thx, XPN staff and voters for making it all happen.

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, but it’s reinterpretation/re-imagining that gets you votes in the #XPNCountdown on @wxpnfm.bsky.social - such a fun, whip-lashing ride so far!

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

It’s starting to get cold out, but @wxpnfm.bsky.social has us “Covered” with the start of the #XPNCountdown starting at 8:00 am today! Fun week+ of Live Radio in store w/Top 885 Cover Songs of all time! Tune in wherever you are!

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Hearing all of these “XPN Classics” on today’s #TBTXPN is kind of like falling back in love with your first crush… WELL DONE @wxpnfm.bsky.social - fun, fun day of radio magic. #summer25

030

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

Very much enjoying so many epic songs from standout debut albums on #TBTXPN. But does make me wonder how many artists never matched the critical or commercial success of their initial effort. Might be tough chasing that brass ring… Thx for another fun Thursday @wxpnfm.bsky.social @jmcgnn.bsky.social

020

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 01/08/2025

Thx for a fantastic romp through 1995 on #TBTXPN!!! Well done, @wxpnfm.bsky.social - another day of Must Hear Radio.

010

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 31/07/2025

I didn’t save any of my vinyl from the 70s or purchase any anew when it made a comeback, so i can’t enter the “Be an @wxpnfm.bsky.social DJ for an Hour” contest, unfortunately… BUT I think I could do all 14 hours of today’s #TBTXPN of 1995 songs from my still-growing CD collection!! #OKBOOMER #Fun

140

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

The Highs in the 70s portion of #TBTXPN is reminiscent of Top 40 radio back then: hearing LOTS of songs multiple times thru the day on @wxpnfm.bsky.social But Yacht Rock all sounds pretty much the same anyway, so what the hey! Thx for another fun Thursday.

020

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

If not for Yacht Rock, would the “white man’s overbite” even be a thing? Asking for my dance floor self… #TBTXPN Fun theme @wxpnfm.bsky.social

010

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

We’re just an hour into today’s Yacht Rock #TBTXPN, and while it’s going to be fun and all, we’re definitely going to need some large lifeboats to save us by 8 pm! Maybe an early Funky Friday/LOTL/WTF 90s life preserver can be tossed to the @wxpnfm.bsky.social faithful… @kristenkurtis.bsky.social

000

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 18/07/2025

It’s not a #TBTXPN until you hear some Bruce!! And made us wait until just 7 minutes remaining in the 14 hours of programming… well done, Dan Reed #StreetsofPhiladelphia

000

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

Since @jmcgnn.bsky.social had to endure Olivia Newton John’s “Physical” as part of Australia hour on #TBTXPN, I hope he gets to do 60 minutes of his beloved Minneapolis/MN for his 2nd hour… Thx for another fun TBT @wxpnfm.bsky.social!!!

010

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Loving this #TBTXPN of all songs from 1985 on @wxpnfm.bsky.social, which is taking me back the my college graduation year. The playlist is quite reminiscent of my 22-year-old self: no clue where it’s headed next, but all the twists and turns seem to make sense looking back on them… Thx, XPN!!!

000

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

Yes, I’m standing in my living room clapping wildly in appreciation of today’s #TBTXPN on @wxpnfm.bsky.social - will be holding my lighter high at 8 pm in hopes of hearing a few more live tunes as an encore. Awesome last Throwback Thursday of June!

010

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Thx for another great #TBTXPN @wxpnfm.bsky.social - SO much great music from such a wide variety of eras and genres. Well curated @kristenkurtis.bsky.social, Mike V., John Morrison & Dan Read!!!

040

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

Me listening to #TBTXPN on @wxpnfm.bsky.social today: “This is SUCH a great cover!” “Wow - never heard this cover before, but it’s awesome!” “What?!?! This isn’t the original?!” “I KNOW this song, but what the heck is it!?” “Is there a station anywhere as fun & creative as XPN?!” [No…] Thx, all!

150

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

Thx @wxpnfm.bsky.social for bringing back #TBTXPN!!! The Throwback to 1975 is transporting me to Jr. HS dances and “K-Tel Collection” album ads. Will also make a great soundtrack as I drive to my 40th college reunion today. Hope the 50th reunion class of ‘75 is tuning in, too! #ThursdaysRockAgain

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 24/12/2024

Congrats @djrobertdrake.bsky.social for reaching the midway pt of #XPNTNB, and THANK YOU, Good Sir! Good choice, as always, to have GrooveLily do the epic Halftime Show! Cheers to all.

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

So if @kristenkurtis.bsky.social plays one of your #XPNCountdown voted songs this hour, does it count on your personal tally board as “making” the Countdown? I say “yes,” and come on Shemekia Copeland! #TheCountdownHangoverIsReal

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Hey Dan Reed! How about a little Radiohead? I don’t recall hearing them on the #XPNCountdown the last 8 daze - they must’ve been snubbed… 😁 #18isenough @wxpnfm.bsky.social

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Thanks for another highly enjoyable and kick-ass #XPNCountdown. Appreciate all the work that went into it from everyone @wxpnfm.bsky.social, along w/the community fun skeeting/bleeting or whatever we were doing here. Will continue tradition of upping my sustaining monthly $$ after Countdown as THX!
