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

Muse

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!

2017 Year End Countdown!!!!

The Killers

This is the EIGHTH freaking Year End Countdown I've done on here and it's exciting and fun every single year. I love looking back at the songs that were huge in a given year and I also love seeing what songs statistically make the Top Ten, but had sort of faded from memory. Both of those kinds of songs are in this episode. So enjoy and Happy New Year!

It's all coming back around this episode. ....And other circular puns. I thought it would be easier to come up with fun circle puns, but I guess I'm a little below the curve (is that a circle pun?).

I think that this episode might start off with the weirdest song I've ever played. I hope you enjoy the craziness as much as I do. The show benefits from it, I think. A good shot in the arm that makes the more straightforward songs all the sweeter!
