Doing All-Christmas Radio Right with Kevin Robinson — Twelve Songs of Christmas Radio consultant Kevin Robinson visits the Christmas music podcast to talk about best practices for stations switching to all-Christmas radio during the holiday season. Also, PSY gives us a K-pop Chri...

Doing the all-Xmas radio transition right, and 2 Xmas songs you 100 percent will not forget. www.twelvesongsofchristmas.com/content/doin...

They love America; it’s Americans they can’t stand.

What am I missing in #RainbowKittenSurprise? I just hear Kings of Leon on the new album.

What’s wrong with me that I want to know what #Autechre Xmas music sounds like?

Keep an eye on this. I’m worried that Trump will try to force Americans who need assistance to work these jobs.

I’m usually for more exposure, but I’d love for committee hearings to move off of television. Trump’s drones are playing to him and the legislators are playing to the people at home. No one’s talking to each other and it’s a bad look for everybody.

Good question. Living life within a half-mile of my Uptown house.

At Vaughan’s for #LosGuiros & just realized this is my first time here this century.

Tonight Morning 40 Federation rides again and makes a rare trip Uptown to play the back patio of Snake & Jake’s at 7p.

One thing I like about the new #TaylorSwift is that she doesn’t pretend her life is like everybody else’s.

The Second Weekend of NOLAxNOLA — My Spilt Milk Our picks for the this weekend's spotlight on New Orleans' music in the clubs that foster it. Also, the NOLAxNOLA Talks panel discussions.

Tonight looks like a good night to get out & see live music in #NewOrleans. It’s not miserable so we can look kinda cool, and #NOLAxNOLA means there are a lot of shows worth seeing. Here are my picks for the weekend. www.myspiltmilk.com/articles/the...

Oooooooh, Trump’s threatening to send ICE to the Super Bowl since #BadBunny was announced for the halftime show. That should strike fear in the hearts of the millions of undocumented workers that can afford Super Bowl tickets.

The New Orleans Jazz and Blues Market Opens Wednesday with Bill Frisell Trio — My Spilt Milk The New Orleans Jazz and Blues Market will open on Wednesday in the old New Orleans Jazz Market with a series of high profile shows to introduce New Orleans to the renovated listening room.

What’s going on w the #NewOrleansJazzMarket has been answered: the New Orleans Jazz and Blues Market, which opens Weds w #BillFrisell and #BobJames on Thurs & Fri. www.myspiltmilk.com/articles/the...

Watching #Pell at The Chloe as part of #NOLAxNOLA & I love how his songs change depending on who he’s playing with. Live bass & keys bring out chill R&B. Loved him taking Dollar Store apart. (Here with co-conspirator Alfred Banks)

The First Week of NOLAxNOLA — My Spilt Milk Our highlights and picks for the fifth anniversary of NOLAxNOLA, the annual showcase of New Orleans' music and the venues that foster it.

It’s #NOLAxNOLA in New Orleans. Here are my highlights for this week. Tonight’s got a ton going on. www.myspiltmilk.com/articles/the...

Happy birthday!!!

If Nexstar purchases Tegna, it will own the ABC and CBS stations in New Orleans. We can’t be the only city facing this possibility.

Listening to Trump talk about childhood vaccines, it’s clear who didn’t take the kids to the pediatrician.

I’m not sure what was better: #MdouMoctar’s encore or the way Tipitina’s signaled the show was over by playing Van Halen’s “Jump” as Moctar waved goodbye.

As awesome as #MdouMoctar is, I’m more blown away by his drummer, Souleymane Ibrahim. I 100 percent do not know how those rhythms happen. Tonight at Tipitina’s.

Bottom line, again and again: If Trump says it, it’s not true.

Solo Jazz Piano for Christmas with Nick Bhalla — Twelve Songs of Christmas Jazz pianist Nick Bhalla visits the Christmas music podcast to talk about 2024's "Saint Nick," a collection of solo jazz piano versions of the holiday standards with a focus on harmonies.

How did Minnesotan jazz pianist #NickBhalla get from Keith Jarrett and Phish to "Saint Nick" and solo piano versions of Christmas standards? How did he go from improvisation to explorations of harmony?

If the president says it, I assume he's wrong. When asked how the tech companies feel about his EO charging tech companies $100,000 for H-1B workers, he said, "In many cases, these companies are going to pay a lot of money and they're happy about that." Really?

I’d post a photo of #Stereolab in New Orleans after 20+ years but the stage is so dark that I can’t get a legible shot. If there’s nothing to see, why not just listen to their records?

I never expected American companies to be free speech warriors, but I didn’t expect them to leave the battlefield at the first sign of provocation.

Isn’t Comedy Central owned by Paramount Skydance? That puts the Daily Show at risk.

“You have a lot of hate in your hate” - spoken by someone who would know.

This is the logical next step in KnowNothingism. #BetterLivingThroughBluster

I can’t imagine that #ArcadeFire’s time in #NewOrleans went as hoped. Thanks @antigravitymag.bsky.social for giving me room to chew on this. antigravitymagazine.com/column/my-sp...

Rattler might not be the answer but he’s not the problem.
