Thanks to @paulnini.bsky.social for the rebranding. In the coming weeks, I'm going to start banging on the doors of other community/public radio stations across the country to ask them to pick up my show via @prx.org and Pacifica. And it'll always be on @wcrsfm.org and @mixcloud.bsky.social
The Ear Opener - #304, February 3, 2026
New music from Avalon Emerson & The Charm, Adult DVD, Annabelle Chairlegs, and Ken Park. Classics from R.E.M., Au Pairs, and Psapp. Plus more recurrent future classics from albums released last year.

You know, when you think about it, practically every symphony orchestra is a cover band, and nobody busts their chops about it.

TL/DR: Eurovision is shit and I should stop investing any time and emotion into it.
Jury voting insures that quirky/tongue-in-cheek acts don't win the contest, but popular vote results aren't much better. #eurovision2025 (1/3)

Glad Malta and Luxembourg made it. I was hoping for Ireland and I liked Australia's song, but their stage show was basically a magic act. Everything else, again, was sucksville. #eurovision2025

Punk in East Germany contributed to the fall of the Berlin Wall. An important read now in 2025 U.S.A. The repeated refrain throughout the book is "Don't die in the waiting room of the future." Sadly we just lost its author Tim Mohr, to pancreatic cancer. #punk #eastgermany #berlin
