We lost a deep artist, with a beautifully vulnerable voice for the ages. Travel well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SB8...

We're saddened to hear the passing of iconic rock vocalist Marianne Faithfull. Listen to her 2009 appearance on @worldcafe.bsky.social where she covered music by some of her musical inspirations including Dolly Parton, Bessie Smith and others. www.npr.org/2009/09/01/1...

Three albums that were surprisingly unrepresented on #XPNCountdown that I am evangelical about: Bowie's The Next Day: one of the greatest albums by an artist more than 40 years into his illustrious career.

Public Radio helps promote music you won't hear on commercial stations.

"Hurt" is not just a great late-career confession made universal; it is not just a great cover. It may also be the greatest music video I've ever seen. #XPNCountdown

First heard "Beautiful Day" in 2002 with my dad. Saw it live several times with my mom. It feels deeply connected to sacred times with others. Made music feel like looking through a telescope. #XPNCountdown

Really hoping for more Philly love for @stvincent.music-social.com.ap.brid.gy in the #XPNCountdown, an artist who, IMHO, is one of the most inventive + awe-inspiring songwriters / guitarists / producers of the past 20 years. Half of Strange Mercy or All Born Screaming could justifiably make the 885.

Big respect to all who got Leonard’s and Bowie’s parting gifts in the #XPNCountdown top 100. An important job well done. A public service.

What a joy to communally share the #XPNCountdown with fellow listeners of @wxpnfm.bsky.social. A welcome feeling in an age of social disconnection.
