Kinda wish I were still on Twitter, so I could watch Joyce Carol Oats owning Muskrat. Except, oh yeah I had blocked Muskrat years back, so… yeah never mind I don’t miss that place.

Watching Soundgarden play with Brandi Carlisle, Taylor Momsen, and Jerry Cantrell sharing the stage for “Black Hole Sun” makes me emotional. What a fantastic tribute to Chris Cornell.

Halloween DJ fit.

Gonna be spinning some Halloween music on the Spin Cycle on @koopradio.bsky.social tonight at 7:00 Central. Maybe some songs you’ve heard a million times, but all physical media and maybe some deeper cuts.

Survived my first solo radio show on @koopradio.bsky.social last night! (Another DJ was there keeping me company and helping me close up the building). Played mostly Shoegaze and Dream Pop with a little post-rock and Finnish psychedelic. Take a listen here:

what's the stupidest/randomest Simpsons quote that lives in your head rent free? Mine is the urge to say "you said go to bread" every time I am about to head to bed.
