@jon.wprb.com This isn't new (seems to be from 2020), but I just saw it & thought of you. youtu.be/66M8NwkRmew

C'mon @itvnews.bsky.social ! Your salvation is literally sitting by the phone waiting for your call!

Oh wow they put your mom in the crossword

Gotta admit, I was having trouble feeling enthusiastic about Christmas this year, but then I found this present waiting for me at the record store.

"The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how yourv2926 is going to go." Grease. Probably in the environmental hazard way & not in the youthful sexy shenanigans way.

This thread about the non-existent academic job market was true when I was a grad student 30 years ago, & things have only gotten worse. I've been out of academia for 15 years, but I still know people there, & the situation is fucking dire.

Last but very much not least, my ALL-HANUKKAH SHOW is tonight from 5-8 pm ET on 103.3 fm WPRB. listen.wprb.com

Thank U, @topa.to , for the delivery of Xmas joy! (cc: @badmachinery.com , author of said joy)

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, it's New Bird Day!!

What's this? A present from the Dead Milkmen? They shouldn't have! m.youtube.com/watch?v=tFnO...

Happy birthday to New Jersey's ONLY radio station!

Kentucky has Ale-81, a caffeinated, sort-off ginger ale that I sincerely love (I moved away 15 years ago & still regularly grab a couple cases whenever I go back to visit.) I don't know what New Jersey's would be.

Hey @jon.wprb.com — tell your friends in Deth Elf that this is getting me through my afternoon of shoveling.

People often ask me (pictured) “Jon, what’s a way to ensure I find a place on your 25-Hour Holiday Radio Show?”

doing promo is physically painful for me but i really would love it if you bought or read my newest book that came out a few months ago. i think it’s the best thing i’ve ever made and im so immensely proud of it. simplicitybook.xyz

There was the time in college I asked out a girl I barely knew & we went to see Apocalypse Now at one of the film societies. We both came out of the screening so traumatized that we never spoke to each other again.

Happy birthday to Tom Verlaine, whose music brightened many a mysterious corner, and still leaves me breathless. Here's something I wrote about the enduring spectral-noir-majesty-jolt of 'Marquee Moon' for The Ringer a while back. Venus De Milo and darkness doubled. www.theringer.com/2022/04/13/m...

#ArtAdventCalendar day 11 I used to make fake ads for my favorite discord, I really should do them more. (Shout out to the space gnomes!) This one is from 2021, we like a good rock.
