I think I'm still kind of catching up on music from the last couple years, I've purchased a lot and feel as if I haven't given many a fair listen, plus I'm revisiting/discovering older music (not only because of #XPN90sAtoZ lol) PLUS I really like quiet, also I listen to meditation type music or binaural beats on YT for brain-calming/focus purposes. Not enough time in the day for it all. I could not listen to music for a living so major kudos to radio people.
This missed songs from the #xpn90satoz is fantastic.....and wow, I certainly didn't expect to hear "Halcyon (And On And On)"!! The first two notes of it and a gigantic smile smeared itself across my face. I've had almost too many good times to this song. 😁
Reminder to anyone still following the #WXPN #XPN90sAtoZ :
Don’t forget that #WTFXPN with John Vettese is tonight at 7pm (30min from now) and he’ll be playing songs that we were shocked to find missing from the countdown.
Also: listen to it every month because it’s a great time!
ola! Is XPN playing something to follow up on #XPN90sAtoZ tonight? I can't recall. Thanks.
I know you're waiting for it...😜 my #XPN90sAtoZ haul from Junior League Thrift in Ardmore:Sdtks: Swingers, Reality Bites, Until The End of the World, Chumbawamba, Frente!, EMF, Seal, Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals, Kristin Hersh, Everclear (from 2000 but I'm counting it), Beth Orton, Mae Moore, Matthew Sweet. I got a few newer ones, they were 5/$3 so I spent $12 for 20 CDs. I made the executive decision to leave Hanson behind though
now that the #XPN90sAtoZ marathon is over, I am motivated to check out some of the artists I missed the 1st time around, so I'll be checking for cheap stuff in thrift stores, to get me out of the house on this lovely Friday...
I got a new turntable that arrived the night before the #XPN90sAtoZ started. It’s just been sitting there neglected in the box all week long. Finally took the opportunity set it up tonight. Shiny! #vinyl #turntable
This is very cool #XPN90sAtoZ By the Numbers

Oh no, the end of #XPN90sAtoZ is near as they are playing the '9s"
These marathons are so fun!
As as I type this they are done cause they are playing Beck - Loser.
@len Me too! What a fun trip that was! It's always at least a little sad when a fun ride ends. 🙂
Genuinely a bit In My Feelings about the end of #xpn90sAtoZ. Wonder why that is. Probably nothing to learn here. No need to interrogate the any further.
How quaint 57 Channels. LOL If Bruce had only predicted what we were really in for. #XPN90sAtoZ
Wow, hardly and "Zs" now punctuation and numbers!! Cool.

Vindicated!! Zoot Suit Riot as the last song for #XPN90sAtoZ (at least alphabetically)
@Jyoti @stumblewyk this song is on now on the #XPN90sAtoZ and this exchange on Mastodon just made me smile so hard. I remember buying this CD at Main Street Music in Manayunk when I was a teenager and it remains one of my favorite 90s songs.
Literally just said out loud to myself in the car “ohhhh I LOVE this song” when Your Own Sweet Way by Marc Knopfler came on. #XPN90sAtoZ
Yes!!!! Finally some Kristin Hersh!!!!! 😊
More SWV!!
And yes, I can still (horribly) sing the chorus of "Weak" right off the top of my head.
