New Countdown!: February 2019

Jars of Clay

It's the beginning of NaNoWriMo and all my friends are busy working on their books, I've decided to publish at least one podcast every day of the month, which basically just amounts to starting to release episodes on the weekends. Which is a good, cool thing because if I keep it up, I'll be caught up by the end of the month!

Well here it is! The first month of 2019 covered! Haha I think I have things semi-sorted now and I'm hoping (i know i say this all the time, but whatever lol) to start getting these out with more of a quickness, so that we can wrap the year in a caught-up sort of place.

Enjoy!

Hey. Here is a countdown of the songs that were on the Alternative Songs Top 10 in December 2018. Relevant? Probably not. But it's a batch of good, fun tunes and I think you might enjoy them a lot! Hit play and see if I'm right!

New Countdown (October 2018): Eyes on the Prize

twentyonepilots. I just realized how appropriate this is for October

Hey. So the last time you heard me on this show, I was talking about switching up the format a little bit to catch up. Well this is the first episode of that and I think it went fairly well. I'm hoping to get these out with a fair amount of regularity, then get back to doing week-by-week. But holding this format in my back pocket if I might need it. Enjoy!

Aaron Bruno (AWOLNATION)

Well, here we are at the last week of August. I distinctly remember thinking, in the first week of June, that it would be this week before we knew it. And I hate how right I was. But I love the Fall and Winter. So we'll soldier bravely on.

New Countdown: Bastion of Manners

Beck

I think one of the things that herald the downfall of a blog is when the author continually starts posts with "Sorry I'm late on this!" or "It's been a long time since I've posted, but I'm excited to get back into it!" or whatever. So I'm not going to do that.

This is a fun one. High energy!
