Starting the day with a round of disc golf is always a good start to a day. #OronoDiscGolf #Orono #Maine #DiscGolf #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
I live in Maine and he has my vote
Thank you for your service. I was a corpsman in the Navy after graduating from Orono High School in 1983 until July 1987. Just like in the field, this corpsman has your back.
He's got my vote. #Maine #GrahamPlatner #Vote #NoKings
I live in Maine. He's got my vote, without question.
Great double album, but Sign O' The Times is better.
We DO have judges who still follow the law instead of breaking it. This is wicked awesome and worth the 20 minutes. If you do the crime, be prepared to do the time. Separately, release the #EpsteinFiles
The Below Average White Band
I just saw this on their sign in Orono, ME, too.
Michael Stipe did not really like this which is why Mike Mills sings the lead.

July 27, 2025. Harvest from the garden today. Dug up garlic (now drying for 4 days) & some onions. Picked yellow squash, cukes, jalapeños, banana pepper (only 1), scallions & zucchini. Also picked 1lb of raspberries this morning (not pictured) #homesteading #OronoMaine #gardening #organic
Today at 1pm, tune in to Maine Public Radio for @richkimball.bsky.social's 'Northeast Corner' show to hear Ryan Enman (owner of D.R. Disc Golf Course in Orrington, ME) talk disc golf in Maine. #DiscGolfMaine #Maine #DiscGolf www.mainepublic.org/northeast-co...
It's so eff-wording aggravating.
@wickedgravity207.bsky.social
So awesome! I still have my vinyl copies of both of these (and Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing; The Art of Falling Apart; and This Last Night In Sodom)
Check out this great interview with R.E.M.'s longtime manager, Bertis Downs, by @richkimball.bsky.social. I thought of you @westofthefields.bsky.social. @remhq.bsky.social #REM #BertisDowns #Downtown www.downtownwithrichkimball.com/2025/07/17/b...
Arkansas is ranked 45th in education, so there's that
I've heard that it rolls down stairs, sometimes alone, sometimes in pairs!
Awesome! I'm getting this for sure. I was 13 when The Cars was released, first album I bought with my own money. Followed the band through their career. Good work, bub!
I watched this as a kid. The Sid & Marty Kroft universe was one I loved being in. I know Charles Nelson Reilly never talked well of his Lidsville experience, but my 6-7 year old self loved it. The Tubi app has this and other S&MK shows currently (7/2025)
My friend Andy King was the bass player for The Hooters at the time. Live Aid July 13, 1985 #TheHooters #LiveAid #Philadelphia youtu.be/R3VyCllsCvU?...
This song introduced me to Midnight Oil. It was a fun musical journey finding and listening to their previous records after that and following them forward.
Big fan of Construction Time Again. Thanks always for these awesome reminders!
Can't wait! The original story was written by Stephen King under the Richard Bachman name, as everyone knows. He dedicated it to his UMaine (Orono, ME) Eng prof, Jim Bishop. I grew up in Orono & went thru elem & Jr & Sr high school w/ Jim's youngest son, Brett, whom I'm still friends with today.
I will say this is the first time I've seen a "what's the worst Columbo episode" posed to me. I'm not sure. I don't remember this as being great, but not the worst. I don't know if I have a worst. Time to do a Columbo marathon!
Dough!! (D'oh)
I was a big fan of their Flash and The Pan project, too.
Hoping for another WKIT movie night. This one looks wicked decent, ayuh.
Happy Canada Day to all of my family and friends in that great country. I'm a Mainer w/ a Canadian mother, maternal grandparents (RIP) and paternal grandfather (RIP). Proud of my Canadian roots. Vive le Canada! #Canada #CanadaDay
Thank you for this recommendation. It is a movie I was not aware of. I was able to find it on the Tubi app and plan to watch it tonight.
Cheers, Season 1, episode 9, "Coach Returns to Action". Diane discovers that someone (Carla, of course), has written some graffiti in the men's bathroom relating to Diane. "For a good time call Diane Chambers", and the phone number that is written is 867-5309. haha! #Cheers #TommyTutone
Saw them on this tour when I lived in Philly in Oct 2005. The Theater of Living Arts is a great venue, holding just under 1000, so every show there is close with the band.
I was just listening to this vinyl last evening. It's always a great one to revisit.
It's the annual Lobster Roll Day at all Governors Restaurants in Maine. $10.66 each! I'm in!! I get mine at the original Governors, which opened in 1966, and is 3 miles from my house. #Governors #LobsterRoll #Lobster #Maine
I listened to this episode (and 5 others) this afternoon. These have been very interesting. In the case of this episode, such a sad fate for this family.
Itsy bitsy spider x100s
Love TfF. Many great albums and tunes, but the title track of The Tipping Point would be in my #1 spot.
Just added to my Podbean list. I look forward to listening to the episodes
Unfortunately these red foods, which I love, trigger my rosacia in a bad way
With The Focus Group performance on Friday evening still fresh in my mind, I wonder what Joe Riccio's favorite bechamel sauce is..?
This weekend, June 20-22. 2025, is the Orono (Maine) Arts Fest. Swing on into Orono to check out some great music, comedy, kids events, film, and more! #OronoArtsFest #OronoMaine www.oronoartsfest.com
Orono resident here, also proud of the work they do.
The worst album by The Police.
I wish my apology as a US citizen for this f-wording nonsense mattered these days. Bone Spurs is a colossal embarrassment.
The squeeking tank echoing through the silence of an empty street was a testament to this idiotic parade
Voter from Maine here...woohoo! As someone much smarter than me once said: Booyah!
I wish they would stop using washed up "celebrities" for this show. Just get contestants nobody knows.
RIP Brian Wilson. Loved your music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RW8...
I'll assume justices Alito and Thomas were a couple of the first members...
Bust a movie!
I was 13 when this came out. Great. Album. In the Top 5 debut albums of all time? It's gotta be in the conversation.
Top 5 debut albums of all time? If not, it's gotta be close. Great from start to finish. I was 13 when this came out and bought it soon after release day.
Stephen King watched it last night in Bangor, ME, with a group of us who won tickets for WKIT's Movie Night advance screening. He used to own WKIT and they've had dozens of these movie nights over the past 20 years for his movies. He still supports them even though he sold the station this year.
Thanks for watching it with us at last night's advance screening in Bangor for WKIT's movie night!! Great movie.
Get off your phone! Watch the game. Sheesh.

You're Frito make all the jokes about this as you want.
Such a terrific CD. My local university's radio station (University of Maine - WMEB) introduced me to Courtney Barnett's music back when this was released. Fan ever since.
Sorry for your loss, bub.
So bummed to learn of actor George Wendt's passing today. Cheers is my favorite comedy (I'm 60). #GeorgeWendt #Cheers #Norm youtu.be/UV8cI1U43II?...
I dumped Verizon 3 months ago and joined Mint Mobile. Verizon was $110/month for 1 line. Mint was $300 (upfront) for 12 months with unlimited data.
So overrated. I like a handful of SP's songs, but trying to listen to one of their albums is painful.
I saw 'til tuesday open for Billy Idol in Augusta, ME in July 1984. Fan of them (and Aimee solo) ever since. This is cool!
Ian Curtis (23), singer of Joy Division, took his own life on this date in 1980, 45 years ago (I was 15), after years of health issues. Such a tragic loss. If I had to make a list of my Top 5 Favorite Songs, this would be #1. RIP IC. #IanCurtis #JoyDivision #NewOrder www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuuO...
Do they sell packages of the Stuf only yet, without the cookies?
Disc golf
I remember the first pressings being recalled because the toilet bowl commercial used in Inoculated City wasn't approved by the company and were going to sue The Clashfor using it w/o permission. Glad I bought it early and still get to hear it
Venison sirloin tip steaks (10 hour marinade, then pan seared 2 min/side, then 350F oven in marinade x20 min), served w/ pan fried fiddleheads (olive oil, garlic, onion, salt, pepper, drizzled w/Balsamic vinegar). #Maine #Venison #Fiddleheads
Getting ready to pickle 5.5 pounds (2.5 kg) of fiddleheads. I love pickling stuff, but it's definitely prep-heavy. I listen to vinyl when I pickle, and right now it's Eat To The Beat by Blondie. The Kinks are up next! #Maine #pickling #fiddleheads
I was stationed in Virginia Beach in the Navy from 3/'85-7/'87 & used to go to the alt music clubs. One of the bands I saw a lot was local fav Waxing Poetics. Their 1st album, hermitage, was co-produced by Mitch Easter & Mike Mills (REM). This song is from that album. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz6w...
So goood! I'm going to put my copy, the one I bought in 1982, on my turntable right now. Thanks for the heads up! (Love the whole album but 'New Religion' is my fav). Have a wicked decent day everyone!
I had stopped by the new location for @wkitfm.bsky.social a couple of Fridays ago and Don C mentioned that you had been in recently with John to record the interview. It was another good one!
Just a heads-up that this link isn't working. I was intrigued about this song, though, and did find it via another YouTube account. What a great tune!
Did you call a toe truck?
The band Palette-Swap Ninja recorded an album several years ago using the music from Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, but with lyrics related to Star Wars. Here's "Princess Leia's Stolen Death Star Plans b/w Illicit Help From Your Friends" youtu.be/NYD3QtyEGGM?...
Today's a good day for this fun and clever song. youtu.be/NYD3QtyEGGM?...
I've lived this....
A break between showers = round of disc golf. If you're a disc golfer and in Orono, stop by Orono Brewing Company (1 mile away), sponsor of Hole #8 at Orono Disc Golf. #discgolfMaine #discgolfOrono
By any memes necessary...
That's my Guv'nah, ayuh!
Big fan of Gov Mills, voted for her twice. She had a lot of practice facing bullies - when she was Maine's Attorney General she had plenty of problems from then Governor Paul Le(Ram)Page, a loud mouthed buffoon.
Such sad news.
I am devastated to post the great Jill Sobule perished in a fire this morning. Jill was not only a genius songwriter but an incredible human being. KV and I co-wrote the Go-Go’s song “Daisy Chain" with her. I feel lucky that she was in my life and heartbroken that she has left us. #jillsobule
Sad to hear of the passing of Mike Peters, lead singer of the Welsh band The Alarm. www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUPb...
Sad to hear this. The Alarm were a big part of my music collection when they first arrived on the scene. Still such great music. He certainly seemed like a good dude.
There are important experiments, and then there are IMPORTANT experiments. Glad that the DOGEbags didn't take away this kid's funding... www.upworthy.com/cats-butthol...
Zevon should've been inducted 20 years ago. The RRHOF is a joke
I'm a custodian for the Orono, ME school system and the Farmers Market is inside our elementary school gym Jan-April. I'm here this rainy Saturday morning and the Market is open!
ALF's favorite meal was Cat On A Hot Tin Plate. Hey Willie!
65F in Orono means disc golf @OronoDiscGolf while listening to @wkitfm.bsky.social
I'm thinking of starting a podcast about people who don't have a podcast...
I remember watching these as a kid in the 70s.
My backyard in Orono, Maine is the Penobscot River. Two months ago my video had snow and ice around d the ole girl.
Always wish folks well on their personal journeys. For me, however, being born on 4/20 I feel it's my duty to keep this in my daily agenda. ;-)
