For the first time on the pod, @somevelvetblog.bsky.social hated my pick (1st time out loud at least 🤣). What was the pick? Only one way to find out!
All new ep of 2OLD / 2NEW is out now recapping #XPNfest & the @wxpnfm.bsky.social countdown announcement!

Day 2 of the XPoNential Music Festival was a day full of artists with deep roots in the Philadelphia area, headlined by Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory. Check out our thoughts and photos from an incredible day of music.

Yes, we're getting lots of guesses on what the theme will be for this year's 885 countdown that we're announcing this Friday at 4pm. The mystery of the countdown theme continues w/ Eric Schuman, MD. #xpnfest
Another year, another music fest. It was awesome to have Kurt Vile hang and do a song with Courtney Barnett at #xpnfest. 📷 Paige Walter
We only got up to #xpnfest on Saturday and glad we caught her act! Listened to her a bunch on Sunday
I'm just going to continue to be over here in my little corner talking to myself about non-terrible things, which mostly in my life means music. I discovered Sadie Gust at #XPNFest this weekend. She doesn't have a ton of music out, but I've been listening to it all morning. Great performer too.
What an amazing weekend at the @wxpnfm.bsky.social #XPNFest.
What A Weekend! Thanks to everyone who came out to join us this weekend for #XPNfest - the members, the volunteers, the bands - everyone who made it possible. For set recaps, photos and more:

Not at the #xpnfest this year ☹️ but 10 years ago I got a pic and autograph at the meet and greet tent with tonight’s headliner. 10 years ago! Wow!

I have been enjoying watching this excellent human jam out at #XPNFest all weekend
Greensky Bluegrass on the River Stage at the #xpnfest

"When you don't know what to do or you feel nervous, you say "go birds" and it always works out." #XPNFest.
One of the singers in early afternoon said this while performing at Xponential Musical Festival and then we got the harmonized fight song! Not sure who?
Spin Doctors playing "Purple Rain" at #xpnfest and it sounds pretty damn good.
Summer 1995 article on newsprint from Ocean County's Observer newspaper about a benefit show by the Spin Doctors — performing as The Weeds — at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, New Jersey.
Have one eye on the Eagles game and another on the @wxpnfm.bsky.social #xpnfest livestream...Spin Doctors sound great, but it's a shame injured drummer Aaron Comess isn't with them. Did a phone interview with Aaron during a summer internship with the long-defunct Ocean County (NJ) Observer in 1995.

Xponential Music Festival @wxpnfm.bsky.social is always better than September Eagles football. Always. #xpnfest

Back for day three of the #xpnfest.
Hey @wxpnfm.bsky.social How about marking the early entrance gate for #xpnfest clearly! We ended up way further back in the general admission line because it wasn't. WTF?
Day 3 sound check going down for #xpnfest
Days 1 & 2 for #xpnfest were just a warm up. Day 3 is ready to rock.
Sharon Van Etten and the Attachment Theory brought a post punk vibe to the River Stage that included an emotional set dedicated to her NJ roots and deep connection to WXPN @wxpnfm.bsky.social
