Music is magic. It’s an adventure and a warm comfort blanket. Aspiring grocery store DJ. Came for the WXPN Countdown but going to stick around. Love the XPN Community.

Music is always there when we need it. Always understands our problems, a shoulder to lean on, a beacon of hope. Every note is a gateway to happiness. A reminder to not give up on ourselves. #musicsky

It’s been a bit since we’ve spent a Sunday with the record collection. Though we’d bust out some favorites in a nod to @booker-julian.bsky.social on his last Sleepy Hallow. Some he introduced us to and others we had in common. “So Long and Thanks for All The Fish”

There is some kind of Type II madness going on in the Senate chambers today. Time to get CK5 in there. Light it up! #phish

This Passage was what I was “assigned” to read at my grandfathers funeral. I didn’t find out until the last minute. I about pulled it off without dropping into the melody. I did give a single “turn” though🤷‍♂️ I think he would have appreciated it❤️

Anyone studying linguistics should easily find some kind of a connection between the words magician and musician. They are the same. Only one is real and one is pretend.

If my social media feeds are any indication then the new release from Jason Isbell is giving the world the feelies. The good kind. The bittersweet kind. The reflective kind. The kind that reminds of of our humanity and what’s important. Much needed in these trying times.

My wife works for Best Friends Animal Society. Their main goal is finding homes for all dogs and cats in shelters across the country. As well as helping ensure all shelters are no kill. They have a booth at the Home Show at our local convention center this weekend. I don’t know who’s seen..1/2

Is it spending no money at all tomorrow or is it certain companies? I’m down either way, but should I just go ahead and go to my local record store today instead of my weekly Friday check in? Fridays are new batch of albums day🤷‍♂️

Written on this day 85 years ago. Woody saw it then and it’s more true than ever now. It is not a time to be a spectator, but the time to fight for truth, kindness and humanity. Do not let this awful regime take your spirit or your resolve. They deserve nothing. m.youtube.com/watch?v=wxiM...

A 🧵: Hello, hi. I recognize I've been more active on social media in my criticism of the current administration than I have been at times in the past. Historically, I've tried to make my socials a place to share music and build community most through my radio shows, I plan to continue to do that.

in a time of hate and darkness, the most revolutionary acts are to bring light, share love, and treat every person with dignity and kindness in even the smallest ways and tiniest of circles. If we want to change our country and the world, let us start there.

The amount of negativity in the world is almost out of control. Don't let it touch you. The sun shines every day, the colours of the world alone should entice you to smile. We are alive and WE can create joy. Smile for the hell of it and remember how special humanity can be. We got this!

Day 1 of work sabbatical. Still up at the crack of dawn and still listening to @wxpnfm.bsky.social morning show. The difference being my 10 year routine is done and my mind isn’t spinning a hundred miles an hour about what my day will bring. I already feel the weight lifting. Happy Day to all!

Goose released the 1st single off their upcoming album today. Though it’s been played live a few times since last year, it’s the first I’ve heard it. Very apropos in this moment. It couldn’t have dropped at a better time. Next week I leave my job of almost 10 years to do something unknown and new….

Happy Friday! Woke up to 6 inches of fresh snow this morning. I know my North East Corridor friends wouldn’t even bat an eye at this, but for us in North West Arkansas it’s a “shut it all down!” event. Nothing I love more than the quiet, muffled sounds outside. Like being in a giant cotton ball.

First #SundaySpins of 2025. Much de-Christmasing to do. Went with our collective agreed on top five for 2024. Heavy on the “ Americana” I guess. With Black Stump, The Whitlams from Australia even fit in. Woodland Studios from Welch & Rawlings being my top album. It’s gorgeous. Happy 2025 all!
