#CoverSongCountdownScoreCard
I ended up with a very (not very) respectable 10 points on the #XPNcountdown #CoverSongCountdownScoreCard but it was a really fun, crazy week to listen to some deep cuts & great music. Thanks, #WXPN. If you're not a member, WHY NOT? If you are, send a thank you donation if you can. Until next year.

THIS WAS THE COVER I *MEANT* TO SUBMIT when I put in "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay" (Also a great cover). Sara doing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road raises goosebumps EVERY TIME. (Now at 4.75 points) #XPNcountdown

OHHH! Tori's cover of "Time" is an ALL-TIME FAVORITE that I forgot about. I have goosebumps. Love it so much. So glad it showed up on the countdown. Waiting for "Thank You" but up to 3.75 points. #XPNcountdown

3.5 points. Brandi coming in with Black Hole Sun! I'd have put this one on my list, but I knew I could count on my fellow listeners for this one! #XPNcountdown

Still hoping to hear the near-unrecognizable Civil Wars version of "I Want You Back" at some point before the end, but now thanks to Graham Parker, I'm at 3.25 points in this little scorecard game... #XPNcountdown

On this, the 2nd week of the #XPNCountdown ... So far my #CoverSongCountdownScoreCard tally is 3.25. With only one of my top 10 getting airtime so far, there's a lot of room left to amass points this week.
(I mathed wrong in my previous version of this post. Pass the coffee.)

Brandi's lovely cover of 'Space Oddity' brings me to 2.5 points, but I'm starting to wonder if I'll hear any of my actual picks at this point... I either chose very well, or very poorly, haha #XPNcountdown

Had to do some errands. I get that Brandi right after the Free at Noon was jarring, but what a sweet cover. Also, brings my humble little Scorecard to 2.0 points... #XPNcountdown

1.25 points now... I have The Sundays for "Wild Horses" -- That one will likely land way closer to the top... But I also fully thought it was a Stones cover, so I learned something today, too. #XPNcountdown

1 & 1/6 points now (I think the fractions will get old fast, lol)... I have Tori Amos for Led Zeppelin's "Thank You"--but Chris Cornell is an EXCELLENT cover. #XPNcountdown
