This has been my pinned tweet over at The Old Place for the last several years, with the caption: #TBT to December 1977, when I cared more about the Billboard charts than I do now.

Got to admit I did not see that coming.

and speaking of supporting @wfmu.bsky.social, if you're enjoying this week's programming, please support @wfmu.bsky.social! get awesome swag! it's the annual HELLRAISER! pledge.wfmu.org/donate?progr...

NO, I will not tell you what my special surprise special is on @wfmu.bsky.social at the top of the hour. IT'S A SURPRISE! You'll just have to tune in and find out for yourself. Listen on the radio in NJ / NYC / Catskills / Hudson Valley, or online at wfmu.org, or use our free smartphone apps!

RIP Donnie Iris What a 🔥 single

Crushingly sad news. "Ah! Leah" forever.

Also! We're in the last 10 days of WFMU's HELLRAISER fundraiser and I'm still less than halfway to my fundraising goal (set by Station Manager Ken). If you haven't pledged yet I'd love to hear from you! pledge.wfmu.org/donate/ED Thank you, and thanks to everyone who's already pledged!

Today on my @wfmu.bsky.social radio show it's the triumphant return of SINGLES GOING SEVENTIES! I pulled about 200 7-inch records from my collection that were released between 1970 and 1979 (inclusive). Tune in from 3pm - 6pm EDT today to hear which 50 or so make it onto one of WFMU's turntables!

@rexparker.bsky.social Thanks for the shout-out today! Looks like the Finger Lakes competition was fun. Hand raised for filling in that one square the same way you did (and honestly I think 97 of 100 filling it that way is a low estimate).

Describing the Brewers trying to take the lead in a possible series-clinching game as "greedy" does not feel right.

My annual throwback to my early '80s college radio show starts at the top of the hour on @wfmu.bsky.social / wfmu.org! (Thats 3pm Eastern)

I don't mean to brag, I don't mean to boast, but I correctly dropped in the answer to 7D in today's NYT Crossword with no crosses and now I'm making this post. @rexparker.bsky.social

It has been found.

Today's @wfmu.bsky.social show is starting in minutes and will include (in this order) records I bought in Sacramento and Reno last week; a tribute to Tony De Meur (Fab Poodles); The Professors of URGH!; and a live set from The Sleeves (members of Modern Nature). 3pm - 6pm NJ time on air and online!

today at 3pm eastern The Sleeves, in session for Evan "Funk" Davies' WFMU program wfmu.org @wfmu.bsky.social @efd.bsky.social

Very very good time last night at the @wfmu.bsky.social crossword puzzle meet-up. Thanks to the 40 or so listeners and/or puzzlers who came out, and special thanks to @rexparker.bsky.social and Gary Cee for constructing puzzles and being a part of the event. Maybe we'll do it again next year!

Final reminder (because it's TONIGHT)! Come out to @wfmu.bsky.social's Monty Hall in downtown Jersey City to solve WFMU-themed crossword puzzles constructed by me and my two special guests: @rexparker.bsky.social and Gary Cee! 7pm doors. More info/tickets: www.eventbrite.com/e/words-are-...

No time to think of something clever to write so just tune in for good music! @wfmu.bsky.social from 3pm - 6pm Eastern. That's, like, almost now!

@rexparker.bsky.social I probably follow more Sports posters than you, but I just opened Bluesky to find a whole string of posts about 17-Down. (Apparently one just happened.) Nonetheless I agree with your assessment of that word in today's post.

For the first time since early July I have NO GUESTS and NO SPECIAL SHOW today! It's just me by myself trying to fill up three hours of airtime. Uh-oh... gotta go! Tune in to @wfmu.bsky.social at the top of the hour! 3pm - 6pm EDT / 12 noon Pacific.

TONIGHT! Come out to The Book House in Millburn NJ for a conversation between my old (W)NYU friend Tim Sommer and me. Tim will be reading and we'll discussing writings from his new book, ranging from working in Times Square in the late '70s to Sha Na Na at Woodstock and so much more! Be there!

My friend of nearly 50 years, Tim Sommer, has just published his second book, a compendium of articles, essays, and other writings from the late '70s through this decade. Please join me for a release event with Tim this Thursday night, Aug 13th, at The Book House in Millburn NJ. Hope to see you!
