Find out how you can win a 30GB iPod in the Countdown! Thanks go out to The Midi Podcast for providing the prizes for this year’s festivities!
Funny… I don’t remember which 5 songs I actually picked, but the song I originally requested didn’t make it this year. I doubt it would make the top 8, since it never got played this year, but… I am enjoying this years countdown show more than last years.
Just a minor correction. Bitches ain’t shit is included in the superbly awesome new Ben Folds compilation, Supersunnyspeedgraphic. I think you can DL from US i-tunes too, but not the UK, but that’s another rant! There are “methods” though….:-)
These new masters sounds sweeeeet too.

Hi Brian,
Loved your gentlemanly, editorial discretion for my audio comment. Maybe if I hadn’t voted for Ben Folds, it would have landed somewhere else!
Back to Issue 12 of the Magazine…

Aww darn. I will survive only made it to 14? I love that cover.
Yo Brian!
I’m loving the countdown. Keep up the great work.

What was the answer to the scramble songs? I have heard the first one, I just haven’t had the brains to remember the title/artist. Sorry if you answer it in the next edition (#280), I am catching up with the old episodes and haven’t moved on yet lol. 5 down today….
