Here's the countdown!
Countdown #33
And, as promised in this weeks show (and...last week's show, too), here's information about the Festive Fifty vote!
This is the email that Tim sent everyone:
Hello Everyone,
It’s time for the final vote to determine the top fifty songs that will be crowned as this year’s Contrast Podcast Festive Fifty:
Select your favourite 10 songs from the shortlist of 100 below and rank them from 1 (your favourite) to 10 and send the list to our friendly 'statman' James ( janderson716@gmail.com ). You may also (if you are feeling evil) give a negative vote to any single song of your choice! The deadline for doing this isn't far away – Wednesday 1st December.
Please ask your friends, family, blog readers and anyone else you know to send us their votes too – everyone can take part!!
Here for your listening pleasure is a flash player with all of the tracks on it:
