Love this band & loved chatting with them aboard a cruise ship in February. Check out their new @npr.org Tiny Desk with STRINGS! And, later this year, a massive tour with Foos & Queens of the Stone Age. 🥵
This wonderful man is playing in Nashville on 5/9. Come get punk rock in kindness & celebrate my Byrnethday on the lawn at Ascend!
Eeeeeeeeee! Great one!
Very very pumped that the 12th annual @npr.org Music Tiny Desk Contest is now open (through 2/9) PLUS I’ll be serving as a judge this year alongside some incredible music & media pros! Visit NPR.org/tinydeskcontest for deets & to upload your winning vid!
A contribution to the discussion on the viral Vogue piece re: having a boyfriend is embarrassing: I just sassed my (imagined to be) hot Australian male *Siri* aloud when he did not instantly oblige my ask to set a timer. “If you even know how to DO that.” 🙄 #contempt
Well, 2025, you wild combo of jollies & shit sandwiches, I did not have Spin Doctors & John Popper covering “Purple Rain” The Ryman on my BINGO board so good for you.
Dang, Otis, thank you. Teaming up with the @npr.org Music crew every so often has been a huge upgrade to the Year of our Lord 2025.
Lucy in the gallery was a really special 2025 memory. Let’s make more, WNXP Insiders, come on out to Frist on 11/12 for what’s bound to be a gorgeous night of music inside the museum.
Didn’t know you were talking about me on the internet and then I see this.
Fireworks above the Oasis concert in Edinburgh on August 12.
Changed. Oasis in the U.K. was all I’d hoped it’d be & more. Eager to welcome the dudes back to America & do it again! Live ‘25.
Saturday at 9am, listen to the encore broadcast of this week’s special 61Pride edition of Thematic Static on @wnxpnashville.bsky.social ft. the incredible Daisha McBride. Her new EP is out 7/4!
Aw thanks, man! It was so much fun!
Aw I’m so glad you still listen from out of town, honored! Would love to know how Richmond is for you, I’ve heard great things about that community.
Birthday boi Byrne, can you confirm?! 🚴♂️
This week’s Thematic Static is throwing it back to 1985 — a year of big hair + bigger synths. What songs from '85 still hit for you as they turn 40 this year? Reply with your favorites, and tune in Thursday at 9am CT to listen!
Thematic Static is supported by our friends at United Record Pressing!
Sending peace to you, Stephen.
Live @mymorningjacket.bsky.social track on @wnxpnashville.bsky.social making me cry over my bagel RN. (Mind you, I programmed this Slowdown Sunday set. Masochist.)
Can’t wait for Wet Leg’s full record in June. For now, enjoy Rhian’s insights on the band’s togetherness & inspo for this collection of “desperate, mushy, all sorts” of love songs. 💓
Baby’s first NPR Music hang! 🥹Loved it immensely, rocking out & also (yes) nerding out *descriptively* to so many great records released today. Thanks, @spotieotis.bsky.social & @idislikestephen.bsky.social & the whole team that made the podcast ep sound so fabulous!
Thanks for sharing, Jeremy!
*I geeked out peering into & chatting inside very cool spaces that make up Nashville’s HQ for TMR — like this lathe room, where they can record Blue Room performances right to vinyl. (Photo by @ylracbutler.bsky.social.)
Happy release day to @thirdmanrecords.bsky.social for this revived gem of an album by Ted Lucas, one cherished by his fellow son of Detroit Ben Blackwell. I’ve loved hearing these 50-year-old songs for the first time AND learning about Ben’s emotional catharsis in the grocery parking lot. Listen!
Rest in power, Clifford Burton. Thanks for listening & digging the left-field pick!
Danny, thanks for listening & appreciating @wnxpnashville.bsky.social from your beautiful (literal) neck of the woods! ❤️
There are American astronauts literally floating in space RN & I got to simultaneously broadcast “ladies & gentlemen we are floating in space” over radio waves on Earth. 😭 Things are so hard but life can be so cool. Thx for appreciating, Simon.
Geez @marquismunson.bsky.social gonna have me ditching my friends to listen to the rest of Soulphonic Sounds on @wnxpnashville.bsky.social vs. getting out at my destination. Eddie Floyd >> Otis Redding.🥵 Luckily, there’s a replay Sunday night!
Fair! Apologies to the belated birthday girl for the mispronounce. I ❤️ She & Him.
We're going to be revealing our top 30 albums of 2024 tomorrow, so now we want to hear from you: What were your favorite songs of 2024? Reply and let us know, and then tune in to listen to this week's Thematic Static on Thursday at 9AM CT, supported by United Record Pressing!
The finest.
