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

JoeLinDel @joelindel.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Isn’t the term “yacht banger” completely oxymoronic…? 😂 Rock (the boat) on, @wxpnfm.bsky.social

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 · 05/06/2026

Right at 6 am…?! Would’ve been classic for KK to have opened the Morning Show with that about 10 times in a row. 😁

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…)

This should be the moment every American disavows reality television forever, because look what it has fucking done.

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

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

Amazed that with 70,000 possible songs voted for, only 10K different tunes got tabbed. That’s a ton of overlap, which explains why so many people had 8/9/10 of their songs make the Countdown. I’d guess there was much more vote “spread” in previous Countdowns. It was awesome as always, though!!!

Cool. If you email me your # I should be able to text them to you - joe.lynch@yahoo.com. I’ve seen him twice & am a big fan. Bummed I can’t go but happy if someone else can. It’s sold out.

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

Had this on a Spinning CD (yes, I’m old…school) for a class I taught. Not everyone was as enamored of it as me… but it was an awesome long climb (speaking of which, did Dan cut it short?!?! Penalty flag)

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

How’d I miss that?! I’d set an Over/Under of 3.5 Xmas songs. That makes at least 2.

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

Ran into a deli to pick up lunch a little while ago and Elvis’ Hound Dog was playing. REALLY had to resist urge to blurt out, while wearing my XPN ski cap, “Do you know this is a cover?” LOL

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

And I am so bummed FOR you! Wanted to say that in my post, but character limit got me 😁

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

I lived in the 717 for 25 yrs and this was in my Top 10. Love it.

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

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

You’re welcome 😁 Fortunately I heard it at some point in Oct., so put it on my running list of potential votes and it made the cut. (it came out when I was in my 30s and have loved it ever since)

010

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

LOVED that station. And such a great station name.

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

Have to admit, I’m a rule follower. But I didn’t read the rules before voting, so it was on my Top 10. (and completely thought of it as a Run-DMC song, kind of forgetting Steven Tyler sang with them on it)

Actually, looks like 22 songs from the Countdown thus far came out this year, which is tied for 2nd most from any year! Only 2018 has more (24), at least according to the stats on the XPN Countdown pages.

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

Pretty sure I Am Sam is at 5, too. Wore out that CD after seeing the movie.

010

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

Predicted Top 5 comments, pre-Countdown 5 Darn! Should’ve had this on my list! 4 Never heard this, but it’s awesome! 3 Damn… what the heck is this?! I recognize the melody, but just can’t place it 2 THIS is a cover?! I thought this was the original! 1 XPN is amazing - I need to up my monthly $gift!

020

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

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
