One of my jobs the past week was trying to “land the plane” and time out the #XPNCountdown to end around 6p-ish today - this is my worksheet as I was scheduling (and rescheduling) each day, adding hours as needed, artist interviews, and trying to have it all time out. Who needs a computer?

As we hurtle towards the Top 100 on this last day of the #XPNCountdown, I can verify that Mike V is going to talk to 2 artists who have songs in the Top 100 and Dan Reed will hear from an artist in the Top 10. But who? And when? And about what songs? Keep listening!

This is the ultimate slow build jam. I remember having my mind blow first time hearing Prince cover Radiohead. Wonder what Thom Yorke’s reaction was to hearing it? From Coachella 2008 to #838 on the 885 Greatest Covers #XPNCountdown youtu.be/NFXZNt4oLkE?...
