New Countdown: March 2019!

Cage the Elephant

I'm now worried that I spent a lot of this episode referring to it as the February 2019 list. Hopefully not, because NaNoWriMo MARCHES on! (See what I did there?). It's really fun to have given myself a requirement to do these countdowns. I love them a lot. And I hope you do too!

New Countdown!: January 2019

Imagine Dragons

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!

New Countdown: Well, Not "New" In All the Ways, But Certainly in Some of the Ways

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: VERY Loose Definition of the Word "Blues"

twenty one pilots

We're back with another countdown and this time we have a plan. It's a plan that lets us off the hook a little bit but which also relieves a lot of stress that we were feeling about the prospect of catching up. Stress that apparently makes us speak in the plural 3rd person. How fun! Enjoy the episode. It goes places!

We've got some lovely old school duets in our bonus songs this week and the really funny thing is that, even though I'm going to put both participants (because why wouldn't I?) you won't know which song it is that I'm playing! Enjoy!!

New Countdown: Sisyphean Task Completed at a Motel 6 in Harrisonburg, Virginia

Sir Sly

Well, I've been working on this one, officially, for about 3 weeks now, so that's frustrating. But the good news is that it's done! I think we can all rejoice about that one. The sound might be a little all over the place since I recorded it in many different locations with many different sound set ups and recording postures. But it's done and it's good!

New Countdown: That Nostalgic Feeling of a Comatose Computer

Moon Taxi

There was a time, early on in this countdown's life, where I would constantly have computer problems and would have to figure out ways around them. That is what I dealt with, with this episode as my computer has fallen very ill. But I am hopeful that it is on the mend. This episode was entirely recorded while I waited for Nicole from Apple to call me back. Which is not a dig against Nicole. She has been awesome and I recognize that she is not only dealing with me.

ANYways. This was a good countdown. I hope that the musical differences between my vocals and the songs isn't too jarring. Enjoy!

How many plays on that band's name do you think I can use for titles for this countdown before they're off the Top Ten? I bet this isn't the last time by a longshot. :)
