Mail call from @subpop.bsky.social ! The new @chatpileband.bsky.social single “Masks” b/w “Sifting.”

TW: terrible terrible things

Hey, shoutout and solidarity to all the people who really need to work today, but are choosing to participate in this General Strike. Shoutout and solidarity to all the people who want to participate, but are unable to. We are all doing our best. Maybe it will happen today.

Tonight on @koopradio.bsky.social I’ll be spinning some shoegaze, post-rock and other dreamy sounds! 8:00 Central on Koop.org

Occasionally I think of this deer who followed me around nibbling on my Goomy shirt, circa 2016.

A nobel peace pryze doth not worke lyke the One Ring. It ys not about who ys physicallye holdinge it.

New tattoo healed and looking good!

Save this, it's perfect.

Merry Xmas y'all, this Best of 2025 Top 5 list is from DJ Nimbus, one of the members of the New Kids on the Block show. NKOTB is a show that allows DJs in their first year of programming to hone their broadcast skills and gain confidence. It streams every Wednesday night from 8-9 on koop.org.

Christmas turkey on the grill!

Tomorrow night on @koopradio.bsky.social I’m going to bring you music featuring the mighty Optigan, a home organ made by Mattel in the early 70s.

Listening to Wilco’s “Poor Places” on repeat. That noisy crescendo with the numbers station sample gets me every time!

Spotify is fun, but records are better!

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve seen. Guster Sonic Youth Sigur Rós Swervedriver Mötley Crüe

Yes, and also, leave X if you have not already

Now that Disney owns The Muppets and the Alien franchise they should remake Alien but the only non-Muppet character is the xenomorph.

Listening to Stone Roses and Primal Scream in tribute to the great Gary “Mani” Mounfield! Gone too soon.

Gary "Mani" Mounfield, bassist for the Stone Roses and Primal Scream, is dead at 63

Thank you @ryannims.bsky.social for this thoughtful interview!!

I’ll be on @koopradio.bsky.social hosting New Kids on the Block on Wednesday with songs about the oceans, the seas, and other large bodies of water!

New article on the Blog at KOOP.org! I’m really proud of this one.

Now that I’m in radio, this is who I aspire to. IYKYK.

Kinda wish I were still on Twitter, so I could watch Joyce Carol Oats owning Muskrat. Except, oh yeah I had blocked Muskrat years back, so… yeah never mind I don’t miss that place.

Watching Soundgarden play with Brandi Carlisle, Taylor Momsen, and Jerry Cantrell sharing the stage for “Black Hole Sun” makes me emotional. What a fantastic tribute to Chris Cornell.

The catio is back open for business. Pickles (tabby) is right at home, Phiona (calico) is still unsure.

Halloween DJ fit.

Gonna be spinning some Halloween music on the Spin Cycle on @koopradio.bsky.social tonight at 7:00 Central. Maybe some songs you’ve heard a million times, but all physical media and maybe some deeper cuts.

@robcrow.bsky.social I’ve wondered this for years: in Wichita Lineman by OY, are you saying the “Wichita line boy is still on the line” or have I just been mishearing it all this time?

Which movie did you love as a kid and still love now?

Cyberpunke dystopia ys a cautionarye tale not a businesse planne

RIP Ace Frehley

Survived my first solo radio show on @koopradio.bsky.social last night! (Another DJ was there keeping me company and helping me close up the building). Played mostly Shoegaze and Dream Pop with a little post-rock and Finnish psychedelic. Take a listen here: koop.org/program/new-...

I’ll be on @koopradio.bsky.social tomorrow night with some spacy tunes! 8:00 Central on koop.org

RIP Drew Struzan, who created a poster that had 0% to do with the plot of The Thing but was also 10000% perfect for the tone of The Thing.

And most of the east coast, too.

Got my Haunted Plasma vinyl in the mail today.

“You don’t win friends with salad”

@pietersender.bsky.social thanks for the tip on K-X-P. I really dig their sound! Also giving Circle a listen. I will let you know when I enter the sauna…

New post up at the @koopradio.bsky.social Blog! koop.org/2025/10/albu...

This album (I by Haunted Plasma) is so good! Krautrock meets trip-hop, meets post-punk. Loving everything about it!

First ever DJ set in the can. Had a great time spinning old dance records!

The setup for tonight. Gonna be spinning some EBM and fancy music

Somehow got put in Instagram jail and I honestly have no idea why. I wish their messaging was less vague. Sigh. Appealed, now I wait.

Got my records ready to spin tonight at Community Garden with the @koopradio.bsky.social New Kids on the Block crew! Bonus point if you can tell me which record is peeking out of the bag.

Going to be DJing for the first time ever in a couple nights. I’ve pulled a stack of dance/EBM 12” records, (mostly Wax Trax! but otherwise vibes). I’m excited and terrified at the same time.

Levitation day 3: a little shorter, as I’m worn out! But I got to see Population II, A Place to Bury Strangers, and the Black Angels. Here’s a pic of APTBS

Second day of Levitation finished. Wednesday, Blonde Redhead, Swervedriver, the Raveonettes and TV on the radio. Caught little bits of Brian Jonestown Massacre, La Femme, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Here’s a pic of me with three of the founding members of Swervedriver!
