Nova One | Biggest Little Desk

Nova One kicks off our very first Biggest Little Desk: a series of intimate, live mini-concerts in the style of NPR Tiny Desk.

Providence-based dream pop band Nova One visited Ocean State Media last week for our inaugural Biggest Little Desk concert. The band just put out their fourth album, “How to Kiss,” which they’ve described as a collection of songs “about love during the apocalypse.” They have a release show Friday, April 10 at 7 p.m. at AS220 in Providence.

Best Portuguese sweetbread in RI?

I ask because we just finished some we had leftover from Easter, for Monte Cristo sandwiches. This wasn't the best sweetbread I ever had. Any favorites out there?

Bristol Hotel

Just saw a news story about them wanting to build a chain hotel in Bristol and the pushback from the town. It lead to a debate within my household.

Interested in opinions because why not

Update: RI State Employee W-2/W-2C

I just finished speaking with Carol at the RI Office of Accounts and Control.

For anyone wondering:

  • Keep your original W2 when you receive it.
  • Every W2 sent thereafter (W-2C) is layered on top of your original. Corrections were made by simply moving information from one box to another.
  • You will need all versions to file accurately.

For duplicates: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=VGrKUmVENUa_82XQqEEiiPhIiam118ZBi2bXJ8aRHjVUQU5WMVI1M0xXU1BTQUpPWlg5STROUThORC4u&route=shorturl

This mistake has been felt across the government sector workforce. This should help dispel any inaccurate guidance or misinformation on how to move forward.

Filing Deadline: April 15, 2026

There are 3 ways to get until October 15 to file your tax return.

Pay online and check the box

Pay what you owe using an online payment option and check the box that you are paying as part of filing for an extension. You don’t have to file a separate extension form and you’ll receive a confirmation number of your extension for your records.

Use Free File (no income limit for extensions)

Use IRS Free File to electronically request an automatic tax-filing extension.

Request an extension by mail

  1. File Form 4868, Application for Automatic Extension of Time To File U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. You can file by mail, online with an IRS e-filing partner or through a tax professional.
  2. Estimate how much tax you owe for the year on the extension form: Subtract the taxes you already paid for the filing year.

If you’re outside the U.S.

You may get an automatic 2-month extension if you’re a U.S. citizen or resident alien and on the regular due date of your tax return, you’re living out of the country.

Attention golfers

...as we break into the nicer weather I'm wondering if there are golfers out there that are looking for someone to play 9 or 18 holes.

It would also be cool if we had a group that someone could hook up with a partner for the day, or even a foursome.

Also, I have decent job flexibility so if you're someone who has free time during weekdays, even better. During the day, Mon. thru Fri. are great days to get tee times, but historically difficult to find someone to play with.

I'm not an expert, but really enjoy being out on the course and meet new people who also enjoy the game.

Post here or DM me. Fore!!!

p.s. central Rhode Island here.

Registering a motorcycle as out of state Resident?

Hi all, I spend about half the time in PA and half in RI, hence I stay a PA resident for health treatment reasons. I'm trying to register a motorcycle in Rhode Island, already have a motorcycle license from PA that I can get honored in RI through the DMV, but I'm finding a lot of conflicting information on being able to register a vehicle in RI without an RI drivers license.

Also for context, the bike was registered and insured under my name in PA in 2022, then lapsed and I haven't rid it since but would love to drive it in Rhode Island again. Thanks for reading!

Anyway need a rec for a long distance mover, my stuff is currently in storage and I'd need it moved to Philadelphia. Anyone know anyone good? Thanks.

CCRI summer classes waitlist

Waiting for a reply from my advisor but I figured I would post here to see if any one had an insight.

Does CCRI not offer waitlisting for classes anymore? I know they did years ago but the registration process for classes is now different. Additionally has anyone had experience reaching out to a professor with a full class ? I would be retaking the course.

Thank you in advance

The state should step in to fund these updates that "will connect neighborhoods while providing greater opportunity for economic development in surrounding areas."

Is April a good time of year to plant Magnolia trees in RI right now?

The weather in RI can be tricky lately, as I've noticed this April we are still getting a few cold jabs here and there in the middle of April. I was planning on planting a few Magnolia trees out in my front garden, but I'm worried that it may not be warm enough for them yet. Pardon me if this an obvious question, but I'm still new to RI state and have only been here through two springs, so I still don't fully understand the weather patterns here. General information about our planting zone here says mid April is the best time for starting to grow these particular flowering trees, but I've had planted some other shrubs before and they died because of the frost even when it was minor. Has anyone been succcessful with growing these trees to full maturity? also, how do you go about protecting them from the freezing conditions when winter comes, do they need those white sheets around them to protect them cold weather?
