Never realized #Tupperware was a cult. Geez. #thewonderfulworldoftupperware #tcmparty #americalikescults

Back in August, I chatted with the brilliant songwriter Neil Hannon of #TheDivineComedy for "UKNY" on @wfuv.bsky.social about his gorgeous 11th album, 'Rainy Sunday Afternoon.' A welcome respite in these chaotic times, an autumnal masterpiece. Conversation on demand here: wfuv.org/content/ukny...

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:

Nope. A documentary that believed that only white men could opine on Chayefsky is a failure - and completely opposed to Paddy’s own ethos.

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 !!!

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.
