If you haven’t listened to Angel Dust from Faith No More in a while, good news. It’s still brilliant.

So sad to see the news about Todd Snider. A gentle soul, sweet human being, and witty as hell songwriter. R.I.P.

Coming off the great show they did for @wfuv.bsky.social the other night, I’ll spin another one from the great new record from @themountaingoats.bsky.social.

Count on a bunch of other cool new stuff, some curveballs, and an overall good time to be had by all.

Join me at 9P for The Alternate Side.

Another sad adjustment in adulthood. If you think something is 20 years old, chances are it’s more like 30.

Not going to lie. Very excited for The Alternate Side coming up at 9p on @wfuv.bsky.social, but…

Simply put, the Mets played themselves out of the playoffs. They absolutely must address what went wrong and what improvements need to be made to fix it.

It’s gonna be a really long offseason for the players who will be back.

But…

I still love them.

β€œWalking on Sunshine” is the worst song in the history of recorded music.
