New Countdown: Six Next to Me

Two Feet

And we're back for some more countdown goodness! I really hate when I start recording an episode and then I get distracted. It happens often and then I'll hear a song (or even a BAND!) from the countdown and feel all guilty. But my guilt can be assuaged for at least 3 days because I got another one done! Woohoo!

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: Would You Believe....

Silversun Pickups

If you came here stoked for an episode chock full of Get Smart quotes and references, I'm afraid you're going to be sorely disappointed with all but the last 30 seconds of the episode....

Fortunately, the rest of the episode is pretty great and I think you'll find your life vastly improved after having listened to it.

So, enjoy!

New Countdown!: Snowed In

Yeah, I named today's post after the Hanson Christmas album. So what? Snow what? No no. Not that :)

I recorded this podcast before, during, and after shoveling my arms off. Listen to my chipper voice at the beginning when I didn't know just how much snow it was going to end up being. So cute!

New Countdown: Before the Storm

Bob Dylan

As I prepare to publish this episode, we are gearing up for what is predicted to be a HUGE snowstorm. So listen to the great tunes and look for the next episode soon. Being snowbound looks like it might allow for lots of podcasting time!

And if you're going to be hit by the storm, too, stay safe!

This is the 275th regularly scheduled countdown I've put together. That is kind of staggering, isn't it? Thanks for sticking with me :) If this is your 1st episode or your 275th that you've "tuned in" for, I want to thank you so much for taking the time!

Oh, and Merry Christmas! Hope that, if you're celebrating, you're having a lovely time with family, friends, and people who are somewhere in between.
