A contribution to the discussion on the viral Vogue piece re: having a boyfriend is embarrassing: I just sassed my (imagined to be) hot Australian male *Siri* aloud when he did not instantly oblige my ask to set a timer. βIf you even know how to DO that.β π #contempt
Well, 2025, you wild combo of jollies & shit sandwiches, I did not have Spin Doctors & John Popper covering βPurple Rainβ The Ryman on my BINGO board so good for you.
Dang, Otis, thank you. Teaming up with the @npr.org Music crew every so often has been a huge upgrade to the Year of our Lord 2025.
Lucy in the gallery was a really special 2025 memory. Letβs make more, WNXP Insiders, come on out to Frist on 11/12 for whatβs bound to be a gorgeous night of music inside the museum.
Didnβt know you were talking about me on the internet and then I see this.
Fireworks above the Oasis concert in Edinburgh on August 12.
Changed. Oasis in the U.K. was all Iβd hoped itβd be & more. Eager to welcome the dudes back to America & do it again! Live β25.

Aw thanks, man! It was so much fun!
Aw Iβm so glad you still listen from out of town, honored! Would love to know how Richmond is for you, Iβve heard great things about that community.
Birthday boi Byrne, can you confirm?! π΄ββοΈ

Live @mymorningjacket.bsky.social track on @wnxpnashville.bsky.social making me cry over my bagel RN. (Mind you, I programmed this Slowdown Sunday set. Masochist.)
Canβt wait for Wet Legβs full record in June. For now, enjoy Rhianβs insights on the bandβs togetherness & inspo for this collection of βdesperate, mushy, all sortsβ of love songs. π
Babyβs first NPR Music hang! π₯ΉLoved it immensely, rocking out & also (yes) nerding out *descriptively* to so many great records released today. Thanks, @spotieotis.bsky.social & @idislikestephen.bsky.social & the whole team that made the podcast ep sound so fabulous!
Thanks for sharing, Jeremy!
*I geeked out peering into & chatting inside very cool spaces that make up Nashvilleβs HQ for TMR β like this lathe room, where they can record Blue Room performances right to vinyl. (Photo by @ylracbutler.bsky.social.)
Happy release day to @thirdmanrecords.bsky.social for this revived gem of an album by Ted Lucas, one cherished by his fellow son of Detroit Ben Blackwell. Iβve loved hearing these 50-year-old songs for the first time AND learning about Benβs emotional catharsis in the grocery parking lot. Listen!
Rest in power, Clifford Burton. Thanks for listening & digging the left-field pick!
Danny, thanks for listening & appreciating @wnxpnashville.bsky.social from your beautiful (literal) neck of the woods! β€οΈ
There are American astronauts literally floating in space RN & I got to simultaneously broadcast βladies & gentlemen we are floating in spaceβ over radio waves on Earth. π Things are so hard but life can be so cool. Thx for appreciating, Simon.
Geez @marquismunson.bsky.social gonna have me ditching my friends to listen to the rest of Soulphonic Sounds on @wnxpnashville.bsky.social vs. getting out at my destination. Eddie Floyd >> Otis Redding.π₯΅ Luckily, thereβs a replay Sunday night!
Fair! Apologies to the belated birthday girl for the mispronounce. I β€οΈ She & Him.

Always great to rise early with you, John! Thanks for saying hi β TGIF!
It feels so tedious (βarduousβ came to mind first, but thatβs dramatic) to start using a new platform. Build a following. Give a shit. So hereβs my pretty dog, Ruby, in lieu of a cheery message or anything useful!
