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.

The Americana Pulse is back Wednesday night at 7:00 on WDVX. We’ll start with new music from Orville Peck, & artists from his Rodeo festival.

And… As some of y’all may have guessed already… We’ll have piles, & piles, & piles of Todd Snider as we say goodbye with a tribute.

Tune in at 7:00 on WDVX.

For anyone confused by my previous post regarding John Oliver, public media, and LBJ's balls...

“John Oliver is auctioning off LBJ’s balls to support public media,” is a sentence I always knew I would type some day. I just didn’t know it would be today.

Thank you @lastweektonight.com

Did not expect to meet 700 WLW sports host Lance McCallister at the WDVX Blue Plate Special today.

It’s a small (radio) world after all.

Big day at WDVX!!!

Today is our 28th birthday, and we’re celebrating with a bluegrass b-day party at the Bijou.

Gonna be a good one.

New Adventures in Hi-Fi

My favorite non-I.R.S. R.E.M. album, and it doesn't get the same love as the other albums of the 90's to that point.

"E-Bow the Letter" is an all timer.

Looking for that one specific piece of Halloween candy that he knows someone put in his bag, and that one his parents absolutely did not steal…

Reissue (20th Anniversary) of a cool Matt Pond PA album out today. This song seems appropriate to share today.

Still remember where I was when I saw the MTV News report.

I was in my dorm room at Morehead State, getting ready to go out to a haunted trail with some friends. I ended up just sitting on my bed for about 30 minutes or so before finally moving again.

I remember it feeling like a gut punch.
On this day in 1997, three weeks after Bill Berry broke the news of his decision to retire from music to his closest friends, MTV were informed and duly dispatched a camera crew to R.E.M. HQ, where the rest of the band join the drummer for their last television interview as an active foursome.

Had a brief technical hiccup… but the show is now on the air and steaming on the WDVX website.
On the air tonight at 7:00 on WDVX.

Come for the new Brandi Carlile songs at the beginning... stay for the spooky R.E.M. tunes at the end.

Lots of good stuff in between... including interviews and exclusive live performances from Hayes Carll & Chuck Prophet.
