Few NYC bands are as thrilling and ferocious live as Model/Actriz @modelactriz.com. Frontman Cole Haden is a divine extrovert onstage, and gentle, thoughtful, and candid in interviews. Loved the privilege of chatting to Cole this summer for "UKNY" on FUV, archived here: wfuv.org/content/ukny...

I would appreciate this #PaddyChayefsky documentary #CollectorofWords on @tcmtv.bsky.social a hell of a lot more if the filmmakers had bothered to interview a single woman or person of color, writer or actor. #tcmparty. Coda: Took 27 minutes for Merrill Markoe to say one sentence.

On the Sunday, 8/31 "UKNY" on @wfuv.bsky.social at 11pm a "UKNY Nearly Midnight Mix" courtesy of #HAAi who releases her second album, 'HUMANiSE,' via @muterecords.bsky.social on 10/10. Also, Oasis, NewDad, Wolf Alice, Radio Free Alice and more. wfuv.org/content/ukny...

Without question, my chat with Chris Davids and Liam Ivory of #MaribouState was one of my all-time treasured "FUV Live Sessions" for @wfuv.bsky.social. Two lovely guys who went through a lot of challenges to reach their gorgeous third album, 'Hallucinating Love.' Listen: wfuv.org/content/mari...

Stephen Colbert should run for president. I know he probably won’t. But it would be amazing.

Kind of wonder if Scorsese paid weird homage to Kubrick’s #KillersKiss with his NYC nightmare in “After Hours” ‘cause there are definitely similarities. #tcmparty

And we thought Mamdani got a lot of people to register last time

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery. America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons. Watch and share his message.

Here's Colbert on July 14 making fun of Paramount for paying Trump $16 million. It's hard not to see CBS canceling his show through this lens. "I believe this kind of complicated financial settlement with a sitting government official has a technical name in legal circles. It's big fat bribe."

Happy #Glastonbury performance to #AntonySzmierek today at the #LeftField stage! Had a lovely chat with him on "UKNY" re: his wise, wistful and wonderful debut album, 'Service Station at the End of the Universe,' which is archived right here: wfuv.org/content/ukny... @virginmusic.com

Of all of Martin Scorsese’s movies, I always thought #TheAgeofInnocence is his best, a voluptuous movie of sensual, tragic restraint. A different kind of violence. And Joanne Woodward’s narration deserved its own Oscar. #tcmparty

Huge thanks @islingtonnyc.bsky.social for giving Soapbox some love on @wfuv.bsky.social !!!

Our gratitude + thanks again to A.C. in @nadler.house.gov's office for meeting with us, @nysalz.bsky.social @alzassociation.bsky.social volunteer advocates/staff, last week during the #2025AIMAdvocacyForum. We appreciate all that Rep. Nadler and staff have done to #EndALZ and help caregivers. 💜

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s hilarious, but my laughter would be less nervous if one of the guys didn’t have control of the biggest military in the world and the other one didn’t have rockets, a satellite network, and thousands of tactical-ready pickup trucks just sitting around.

I need a transcript of Charles Laughton’s courtroom monologue in #ThisLandIsMine. It is absolutely extraordinary and completely applicable to today. Not dissimilar to Cory Booker’s 25-hour speech #tcmparty Cannot believe I never saw this Jean Renoir film until now.

Interesting. #ThisLandIsMine is kind of like watching CNN today. #tcmparty.

Today was so awful globally that I’m finding strange comfort in 1/3 of my beloved Pakula “paranoia trilogy” with the brilliant, disturbing, heartbreaking #Klute for the zillionth time on @tcmtv.bsky.social. Grateful that @janefonda.com’s voice is still as mighty as ever. #tcmparty

Hiding from the lunatic news cycle/despair Wednesday nights in March via @tcmtv.bsky.social and a bounty of great #BarbaraStanwyck movies - like Douglas Sirk’s #AllIDesire which I’ve never seen.Cheered when lesser-known films get more prominent programming. #tcmparty. Stanwyck elevated all she did.

Dear @nadler.house.gov — Thank you for your ongoing support of the @alzassociation.bsky.social + @nyalz.bsky.social, but developments in D.C. are worrying. Please make your voice heard on the floor, combat cuts in federal + state funding that affect all affected by Alzheimer's and their caregivers.

Needed to escape the news and the country’s excruciating, ugly downward spiral tonight if only for two hours - and get lost in #TheLadyEve. Stanwyck and Fonda’s awkwardly sexy sizzle is so damn charming. Can’t not watch this Sturges film whenever it’s on @tcmtv.bsky.social. #tcmparty

Thanks to Rep. Jerry Nadler @nadler.house.gov, NYAG Letitia James @newyorkstateag.bsky.social, @dlnyclu.bsky.social and others for speaking in a virtual town hall tonight to 12th District New Yorkers, addressing the White House's "chaos, confusion, and contempt for our system of government."

The egg situation at Whole Foods at 9am this morning, February 15. Store clerk said a shipment came in yesterday morning and they were sold out in a few hours.

Really enjoyed doing a UKNY/FUV Live session with Fabiana Palladino, whose 2024 self-titled debut album won this thoughtful songwriter/producer rave reviews. She's worked for years to get to this point — and believes that patience and perseverance was her ballast. More: wfuv.org/content/ukny...
