WYXR’s spring pledge drive kicks off this wknd! Annelise is guest DJing on Saturing (4/11) at 2 p.m. cst as part of the station’s annual “Get Buck” fundraiser competition. IF YOU’VE GOT A FEW BUCKS TO SPARE OR IF YOU’RE CRAZY RICH PLEASE DONATE at GetBuck.WYXR.org to help the station continue its mission (and to help Annelise win!). Any amount is cool $5-$500 📻
WYXR is a constant in our lives. Always on in the foreground or the background. We listen to so many shows weekly. The station is part of the glue holding Memphis together. The station is part of why we live in Memphis. The station needs financial support. SOOOO, LET’S DO OUR PART BY DONATING, and you get to hear my wife DJ on the radio while doing it.
You can donate now at GetBuckWYXR.org AND if you really want to have some fun you can donate live during her DJ set on Saturday at 2 p.m.
Been reading this excellent new bk on Alice by @andy.beta
The loss she experienced when John died is absolutely gut wrenching, and the art she turned to afterwards is the stuff of the heavens coming to earth.
Highly recommend!
Also, the Monday episode of my show on WYXR, The New New Soft Shoe Show, will most likely be filled with this kind of “cosmic music” (tune in Monday 10-11 a.m. cst @wyxr_memphis )
14 years ago today we opened The End of All Music in a little metal building on North Lamar in Oxford. We moved to the Square in 2018.
Big 💙 to everyone involved thru the years.
If you’re in Oxford today, stop by the shop. Otherwise, come party with us at Larry’s on Sunday, March 15th.
Best way to keep the shop going? BUY SOME RECORDS 🤘✌️🤘✌️🤘✌️
We had to say goodbye to our beloved Kung Fu Kenny a few days ago. The house is awfully quiet, and the lack of his presence is so damn strange. He was our true weirdo. We’ve lost our third wheel. @lisidee has lost her fur baby.
Love on your pets a little extra this week.
Rest easy, Kenny.
The record store in Oxford is finally opening back up today (Saturday, 1/31) after being closed for a week. Oxford is in really bad shape, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Many folks have been through hell this past week. Check on your neighbors. Call your people. Hug some necks.
If you wanna swing by the shop today, Clay will be there spinning chill tunes and hanging out. We’ll have the tea kettle on too.
Annelise and I will be on the radio Monday morning for a special 2-hour long episode of the NEW NEW SNOW SHOE SHOW.
10-12 a.m. CST
Playing all “snow music.”
👉 91.7 fm in Memphis
👉 stream at WYXR.org
Lots of folks dealing with some hard times in this winter storm. Y’all hang in there and tune in if you need to escape for a bit.
