For anybody that wants to know more about what I do… Here’s a stupidly massive playlist of everything I’ve played on my radio show on WDVX since April of 2020. It’s a pretty solid “set to random” playlist, I think.

I did this on the radio one year with Robert Earl Keen’s “Merry Christmas from the Family.”

I made an edit that played REK up until the family sang “Felix Navidad.” Then I inserted another version of that song before going back to Keen. Did the same for the “First Noel” & “Silent Night” verses.
Y’know when the characters in a movie go to see a movie and it feels really meta? Well, with an “Ultimate Double Feature,” we play the first movie up until the point when they enter a cinema to watch a different film… then we play that film… then we go back to the first film to finish that story.

Diverse mix. Fun show. Join me from 7:00-10:30 on WDVX.

Setting up for today’s WDVX Big Plate at Barley’s…

I overheard the bartender complaining about her current sleep podcast, so I took the time to recommend Sleep With Rockstars.

Writing grant proposals and watching Mon Rovîa videos on YouTube while sitting on the couch with my dog…

Good times.

We’re starting late on tonight’s Americana Pulse. We’ll be on around 9:30 Eastern after a live Tennessee Shines.

I’ll have the women of bluegrass, Color Me Country Artist Grant winners, a tribute to Lynn Blakey, an Americana-disco dance party, and more.

We’ll still be rolling around 1:00 am!

Listening to members of Kentucky’s 1996 Championship team being interviewed on the post game radio show with their teammate, Coach Mark Pope, after a big win over Tennessee…

Absolutely amazing.

Anthony Epps (my all-time favorite player) talking about the fans… I love it.

Episode 2 of Dive Bar Music Club is live. We just recorded episode 3 yesterday.

Also… Until I’m told specifically that he isn’t involved… I just assume Scott McCaughey is in every new band I hear.

I always close my weekly radio show with a song by @remhq.bsky.social at around 10:00.

I threw in an extra song from Berry, Buck, Mills, & Stipe at 8:30 tonight, and multiple listeners have already reached out to say how much they appreciated it.

Talk About the Passion…

Had a cool conversation today for Dive Bar Music Club podcast.

I brought tunes from Amelia Day, Karen Reynolds, and Mon Rovia to the conversation. We also discussed how we discover music in the current climate, the importance of local festivals, and "The Ann Powers Effect."

That's multiple Grammy Award winners from Paintsville, KY in one Grammy Awards... Chris Stapleton & Tyler Childers.

Awesome to see Jesse Wells... who I have known my entire life... give the acceptance speech for Tyler!

Early Grammy wins for both Sinners and K-Pop Demon Hunters mean my 6 year old and I can continue living in the same house without conflict.

This whole thread...

The new David Olney cover from Big Richard has been on repeat around here recently.
More relevant and important political/protest songs for the crowd that insists artists aren't meeting the moment.
This first one from James McMurtry is maybe the best song released in 2025.

This has nothing to do with anything, but it baffles me that the 1991 Wonder Man solo series is not available on the Marvel Unlimited app… especially with the show just dropping.

Only 3 of the 39 issues are available.

Lucinda & Mavis...
New music...
International Folk Music Awards winners...
Minneapolis musicians.
