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…

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!

First day of Levitation in the can. Saw the Sword, Secret Chiefs 3, Acid Bath, the Armed and Mastodon! Here’s a pic of the monster who joined the latter on stage!

Big Acetaminophen didn't pony up for an inauguration gift this yeaer

It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.

Exactly this

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

New article up at the @koopradio.bsky.social blog!

Musician, writer, & actor John Doe will be playing some of his favorite songs live on the radio, 9/10/25, 2-3pmCT, in support of KOOP Radio's Fall Membership Drive. Tune in to KOOP 91.7FM, or stream at KOOP.org, to hear the whole show & learn how you can help Austin's community station. Thanks!

Well this can’t be good.

I guess I’m the newest programmer @koopradio.bsky.social ! Took the on-air test last night, playing 30 minutes of American shoegaze music.

Thinking about this little thing from John Carpenter’s amazing film Dark Star, and how if not for this ridiculous beach ball, we might not have the ALIEN franchise!

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

Just came up with this idea: “Imps” a cartoon. Mr. Mcyzptlk and Bat Mite just doing dumb stuff for 30 minutes at a time. Call me @jamesgunn.bsky.social

GURPS Sunday

Finished the main story for Witcher 3 this evening. Still have the expansion content to do, but the game is spectacular!

What an utterly dogshit rebrand. Take something unique, characterful and distinctive and make it look like every other bland corporate unbrand out there.

RIP. He had a good run! www.bbc.com/news/live/cn...

Yes! I have been saying this for years!

It’s been 5 years since I started, but I’m finally getting close to finishing the main story of Witcher 3! Once I stopped caring about Gwent and horse races, the game got a lot more fun for me!
