A proposito di questo titolo

A show dedicated to unapologetically intelligent & melodic pop music that oft includes adventure, ambition, angst, bass shenanigans, bravura, catchiness, cynicism, curiosity, dancability, deft dynamics, economy, forward momentum, glee, grace, hubris, irreverance, irony, love, maximalism, melancholy, minimalism, modesty, naïveté, overreaching, passion, prettiness, proselytizing, protest, questioning, repetition, ribaldry, sarcasm, sexiness, sincerity, specificity, swoon-worthiness, temerity, understanding, vagueness, wisdom, wit and maybe more than a little nostalgia.© 2026 Alec Cumming, WPKN Musica
  • More Neil Sedaka? YOU GOT IT!
    Mar 3 2026

    Watch this space: my goal is to combine this Tuesday March 3rd 2026 Snap Crackle POP! 7-9 am episode (which is 95% dedicated to Neil music) with the previous Monday March 2nd Snap Crackle POP! 7-9 am episode (which is 100% dedicated to Neil music and is co-hosted by the great Dawn Eden Goldstein), and neaten it all up somehow, so you can get all yer NEIL SEDACKY [tm Carole King] in one place. Stay tun-ed.

    (And if anyone wonders how my daughter's fabulous new single made the set list, I would argue she's following a Brill Building-path and has major-league songwriting chops - like, yes, Neil - and that her track can stand with the others on this show. Seriously.)

  • TOO. MUCH. SNOW.
    Feb 24 2026

    Snowhaustion? The g-ddamn blizzards keep happening on Sunday nights, which means these days that the commute to WPKN's Fairfield Avenue studios in downtown becomes impossible, so I have to pre-record these shows, which often improves the quality of the show (yay!) but it takes me too much damn time to prepare because I fuss over them too much. (Did I write about this about yesterday's show? I'm losing it, people. A mind is a terrible thing.)

    This was actually a re-jiggered (and, franky, improved) January 26th show. I think it came out well. My apologies to Steve Di Costanzo for my forgetting to mention that I was filling in for his RADIO BASE CAMP SHOW, as I will continue to do until April. Enjoy your world travels, Steve, but get back here safely and soonly!
