MP3's
Ok, MP3's on this blog (designated by the links that seem like maybe they're songs) are for sampling purposes. So, if you like something you find on this site go buy some stuff by that artist. Go see a show.
If you're not happy that I put an MP3 up on this blog, just email me to take it down and it'll be down.
All MP3's are up for 10 days. Or when I remember to get take them down.
If you want to email me to say hi, ask me to take something down, ask me to put something up (i.e. bands wanting me to check out their music), or anything else, email me at aodblog@gmail.com. You can remember it because it's the Appetite FOr Distraction blog!"But James, you say, why isn't it afdblog?" The answer is, of course, I didn't pay attention to the letters in the initials of my blog. Le sigh.
It's fitting that GnR got the Cover Photo for this Countdown. You're going to be hearing a lot from May's Artist of the Month on this episode. And much of it is good music! Enjoy it and the rest of the countdown!

Well, there were many contenders for who I would feature for this year. And if this album hadn't been an option I would probably have gone for the Traveling Wilburys album, but c'mon. I'm not going to pass up on the album upon which the blog's title is based! That's just not smart!
I have this album on my iPod, but I've never listened to it. I think I'll rectify that this week.
At first I was worried that this would be immediately shut down by the Man. And maybe it still will be, but I hope not. The thing is, you probably already own all of these songs. So why would you steal them?
I had a blast putting this one together and I hope you have a blast listening to it!
(A running theme of these episodes has been that I've been talking and talking and talking, so it's another Google Docs link. Let me know if it's not working, but I haven't heard from anyone about the others, so maybe I've learned how to do this right)
(Also, it seems that Blogger has forgotten how to move a word to the next line if it doesn't fit on the line it's on. So, that's annoying and hopefully you won't know what I'm talking about when you're reading this. If you DO know what I'm talking about, I apologize for the weirdness.)
