I’m more a ‘Banana Joe’ Montione type… RIP 56FiL 💜
Totally here for Robert “Records” Drake doing a 1960’s DJ impersonation like George Michael or Long John Wade.
Though I’m thinking @djrobertdrake.bsky.social ‘s aura might be more like late 60’s era Kasey Kasem.

Agreed. That was the peak there in ‘96
@djrobertdrake.bsky.social two things can be true at the same time:
R.E.M. never made a bad record;
But they were never the same band without Bill Berry.

I didn't know I needed this song today on the #XPN morning show, but that's why @djrobertdrake.bsky.social is a DJ and I'm not.

When you asked if Joe Jackson preferred the traditional method of recording vs today’s “at home” convenience. That was a great question. It made him think before he answered. Rolling Stone magazine could have used your journalistic insights.

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...

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.

@djrobertdrake.bsky.social listening to The Night Before was a holiday tradition while we lived in Philadelphia. Glad we could continue it when we moved to Charleston. Thank you @wxpnfm.bsky.social for streaming far and wide!

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.)

Merry Xmas eve. I think xmas music is, like, a yearly, capitalist torture experiment conducted by the aging originators of MK Ultra.

My 5yo is absolutely bopping along to the John Facenda era soundtrack from the Wannamaker Light Show.
(I keep expecting Facenda to bust in with “Santa got in his sled and threw a perfect pass to Harold Carmichael in the end zone.”)
