A New Countdown with Attitude!

So, I've been thinking about how this countdown would go. And I have to say that I think I came off a LOT less grumpy than I imagined I would.

It's just more proof that I need to be doing this primarily for myself and stop comparing myself to other podcasters. And if I don't like the way things are going, I can feel free to change whatever. This is my play space. And if no one shows up at the observation window, I can still have fun!

Countdown #75

New Countdown that you NEED to hear....too pushy?

Ok, maybe NEED is a little strong, but I've realized that strong, forceful advertising is important in this workaday world.

Have you seen any ads for Dr Pepper TEN? It's for men. And it's ridiculous, you guys. How is ten calories any more manly (or "bold") than all the calories of a regular Dr Pepper? If you're wanting a Dr Pepper but don't want all the calories, just go ahead and drink a regular Diet Dr Pepper. Ok. I'll stop. But if you want to get me riled up, bring this topic up and watch me foam at the mouth! Now THAT'S bold!

Anywho...

Countdown #74 (With 11 Bold songs)

New Countdown to Rake Leaves By

Actually I'm not really sure who rakes leaves anymore. Any leaves that fall on our yard just end up getting mowed. But my sentiment is about the beginning of fall! Of course, fall technically started a couple weeks ago, it really started only a couple of days ago around here, with the cold breezes. This should keep you warm like a nice cardigan!

New Countdown. Recorded in 3 Parts, Stitched Together

And so it was that, in 3 different sessions, at 3 different levels of fatigue and frustration, I stitched the latest Countdown together and truly I believe it to be a thing of beauty. Enjoy it...if you dare!!!!

An Unprecedented New Countdown.

This is not the longest Countdown of all time. Countdown #47 and Flashback Countdown #2 were longer. The unprecedented part comes from the number of bonus songs on this episode. Here's a hint: It's more than one!

This is what happens when you let rappers influence your programming via Twitter (And Astronautalis, if you're reading this, Hi! Leave a comment and let folks know I'm not crazy!)
