2016 Year End Countdown

Cold War Kids

Well, I'm back! I knew when I left that I would be probably coming back with the Year End Countdown and so it has come to pass! I'm really feeling refreshed and jazzed about doing this podcast and I hope you're all be jazzed about joining me!

Fully half of the year end countdown is taken up by two bands. I bet you can guess at least one of them!

Enjoy

New Countdown: Brain Revolt

Bear Hands

Started very strong on this one, but then I started falling all over my tongue as it got later and later and my brain began to revolt in favor of sleep. Silly brain.

As I mention in the episode, this week marks the halfway mark of the year so I guess it's a "the year's half started/the year's half over" sort of situation. Pick a side!

New Countdown: R.I.P. Casey

The Black Keys

So, I wouldn't say this episode is a "tribute" to the late, great Casey Kasem. I do PAY tribute to him, though. This was a very fun one. I like to think Casey had fun doing his show, just like I have fun doing mine. I know it can be a grind sometimes, but it feels so worth it.

Hey Happy Summer, everyone!

New Countdown: Now I Wanna Wish You a Happy Father's Day!

Bleachers

First off, Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there. I know I've got a couple of great Dads and a great Father-in-Law that deserve lots of accolades!

This one was a pretty fun one with a huge bonus feature at the end. I hope you'll stick with it to the very end!

Also, have you noticed how many "B" bands are on the countdown these days?!

New Countdown: Night and Day

Cage the Elephant

So, I spent some one-on-one time with the music this week and now I feel like we're buddies. I noted a pattern about the way the countdown is distributed. And I got a subscription to a certain chart-filled publication. So that means it's a hefty, fun episode and I hope you enjoy it in all its glory!

New Countdown: 200 Countdowns, Still Reaching For the Stars

Bear Hands

Well, here we are! The 200th episode. It's a big deal! And I'd like to thank you all for making this journey with me. It's coming out a little late, but that's just a facet of the podcast occasionally, so it feels a little appropriate.

Lots and lots of bonus songs on this one, so strap in! (I'll do a separate blog post to tag all the bonus songs. They wouldn't fit!)

New Countdown: Memorial Day 4!!!!

Coldplay

Another Memorial Day weekend podcast. It's amazing that I've done 4 of these now. And that the first one was a Flashback Countdown. Nuts.

We're driving to Rehoboth Beach tomorrow and I'm worried that I'm going to be a zombie, so I'll make this short (I'm always typing some variation of that tune on these, aren't I?) and sweet.

It's a good episode this week. Especially if you like cheeky young British lads. :) Hope you enjoy it!

New Countdown: It's Alright Ma, I'm Only Podcastin'

Phoenix

So it's hella late and I need to be up to make eggs and bacon with my 3 year old for Mother's Day probably pretty early, so I'll keep this short.

Happy Mother's Day to all applicable recipients of that greeting!

Enjoy this greeting card in podcast form! (PS Non-moms are totally also allowed to enjoy it. BUT NOT AS A GREETING CARD IN PODCAST FORM)
