Countdown: The First Alternative Songs Top 10!

Shriekback

It's a trip back to the 80's this week as we look at the very first Top 10. There was no "last week this song was at number..." for this chart. Songs just were at the positions that they were at. Pretty mind-boggling. Like thinking about the universe as it was forming. No? Well, you clearly don't think of the world of the Alternative Songs chart as being the universe like I do. :)

If I make my fortune and can switch to just doing podcasts for my job, I'd like to do one current and one flashback countdown a week until I caught up. That would be insane. But hey, maybe I'm a little insane.

New Countdown with extra parenty goodness!!!

So, my Dad and Stepmom were down visiting the lovely Little Distraction (as I've decided to refer to her) and they were kind enough to join me on this week's podcast! It's lots of fun, but it ran a little long. So I decided to try box.net for my "larger than Fileden can handle" needs. So, the file might not play the way it normally does, but it should download just fine! It's called "Long Version" because I made a shorter version to try to get it into Fileden range, to no avail.
