Shake 'n' Vibrate Radio with DJ B The T Jr.

THURS! 4/23, 7-9AM EST on WPKN, Shake 'n' Vibrate soldiers on in the redemptive rock 'n' roll spirit for its 51st WPKN show?! With levitating music by such hitmakers as Jedediah Parish, Suburban Lawns, and Grandpaboy. Singer/songwriter and all-around prolific artist, Kierstin Sieser, joins us at the 8AM hour to discuss her latest album Love's Poem out on Dead Language Records. Kierstin waxes about her process whilst also spinning formative and influential tracks. Brian Ember also gives a ring-a-ding to talk about the 2026 New Haven Music Video Festival!

THURS, 7-9AM and via apple podcasts beyond that, its SHAKE N VIBRATE on WPKN, your shot of rock n roll caffeine to get your morning on the move. The 8AM hour brings SPECIAL GUEST BUZZ GORDO (pictured o' course) of New Haven's legendary BIG BAD JOHNS, GONE NATIVE, and BRONSON ROCK who will be previewing his new solo album "Pen and Ink." We'll be chewing the fat and spinning trax, come join us! Album release show commences this Saturday 4/11, 7PM at Best Video with the equally incredible Jed Parish of GRAVEL PIT supporting. Hey hey, my my...

DJ B The T Jr. soldiers on through this cruel world finding refuge in the starlets and nuggets of rock 'n' roll. Featuring Shake 'n' Vibrate patron saints Slade, Bully, Stereolab, Jalen Ngonda, Julia Cumming (pictured above), Teenage Fanclub, Dirtbombs and more bands/artists you should be wrapped in!

WPKN's own Christine Ohlman (Soul Hive), Beehive Queen, calls 'round 8AM to preview her The Queen meets The Kings show with Liberty Devitto's The Slim Kings hitting Fairfield Theatre Company, Sunday April 19th, 6PM doors, 7PM show.

Rise with the greats 7-9AM at WPKN 89.5FM for another installment of Shake 'n' Vibrate Radio. Scene here is SNV patron saint Les Blank, documentarian extraordinaire whose films on garlic, gap-toothed women, creole cooking, new london polka (not kidding) are essential viewing! I say this because tangentially my 8AM guest will be Sean Fox from the Norwalk Film Festival hitting Friday March 20 through Sunday March 22. We'll talk films, workshops, the CT film scene and so much more. TUNE IT tot he WPKN app, local at 89.5FM, or dial later via podcast along with 45+ archival jaunts.

THURSDAY! It's the hallowed SHAKE 'n' VIBRATE morning tradition taking a sojourn into the world and influence of my pal the recently passed Scott Foust - musician/theorist/thinker/drinker/instigator/commander/director visionary behind Idea Fire Company (IFCO), The Pickle Factory, Anti-Naturals, the fabulous Swill Radio distro and catalogs (The Quality Quality since 1983) and so much more. Will pair well with a mono-chrome suit, Dunhill cigarette smoke, Chanel No. 5, cheap red wine, St. Paulie Girl. Heck, just take the day off. A warming salute in this cold cold world.

ANOTHER WEEK, ANOTHER SHOW! Oh, where doth the time go? Maybe our high-banged, beloved rockers SLADE know? Figure it all out with Shake 'n' Vibrate Radio live again and in your ears THURS 2/12 @ 7-9AM EST and across all verses and perpetuities in the Apple podcast realm. Love on ya!

SHAKE 'n' VIBRATE RADIO RETURNS! Asking the eternal question: if a radio show is not promoted, does anyone hear it? Tune into hot moving rock n roll essentials like Arthur Alexander pictured here; an obsession of both Elvis and the fab four...

OH THE DELUSIONS OF YOUTH! Look what rock 'n' roll can do to a man. This man being Mark E. Smith. One of only a handful of Smiths I like if you catch my drift Morrissey! Hear a Fall classic with this crooner as well as plenty other rock 'n' roll goldies. Start your day right with the equivalent of an espresso to the face! I'M SO OVER 2026!
