@wxpnfm.bsky.social @rahrahraina.bsky.social #xpncountdown the Carpenters had a few outstanding covers not on this list (Ticket To Ride, We’ve Only Just Begun) but the Supersonic cover of Superstar gets the prize over Karen. I first heard that song in Juno. What a version.

Well I just got news in the middle of this joyous countdown that Michigan football coach was fired for cause. I guess during a countdown of “covers”, this was “uncovered”. What’s an M fan to do? 😱
I guess that coach doesn’t “got a friend”. He’s not “the man”. Sorry not sorry

Not sure I voted for Kiss by Tom Jones but I wanted it on this list. What an inspired and fun redo. I’ll bet the two of them (Prince and TJ) were buds. #xpncountdown @wxpnfm.bsky.social

.@rahrahraina.bsky.social @wxpnfm.bsky.social #Xpncountdown so many of these artists have been introduced to me thru the decades by XPN but say a little prayer always makes me think of Best Friends Wedding in a joyous scene (of maybe not a so nice movie). #WXPN

@wxpnfm.bsky.social you just played Jambalaya by Fats Domino. One of my fave covers of this song is my guilty pleasure by the carpenters. I’d love to hear that on XPN. Any day with a song by that group is a good day #covers #allaboutthemusic #itsavinylthing #XPN

@nprcodeswitch.bsky.social rather than having yet another anti Israel antisemitic podcast where you blame Jewish community for antisemitism (ties to Israel), maybe you ought to interview @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social and other non haters. People who CAN criticize yet still loudly support Israel.

@vogelbomb.bsky.social I am puzzled by your toss away comment in latest Savor podcast. U said it was Jewish to criticize genocidal whatever. What did u mean by that? That comment made me lose appetite for kugel or whatever else was discussed. Who was this directed at? Missed comment about hostages

If we have learned anything we cannot have an XPN countdown without the Boss. I suspect we will hear more.

This is exactly what I referred to in a prior question. How should Israel fight this? When the enemies hide behind or under civilians, hold hostages, steal aid, shoot into civilian areas and kill, should Israel say “it’s OK” while the enemy is unabated? Teach me

Last night, Hezbollah rockets targeted thousands of civilians in the Tel Aviv area.
The daily attempted genocide that goes unreported.

@philklay.bsky.social listened to interview on Fresh Air, disappointed in your take regarding Hamas/Houthis/hezbollah/Iran war Israel in. How can you not even mention Israel’s enemies in criticism? How is this fight not as clear as Ukraine vs Soviets? How should any nation fight such enemies?
