I didn't vote for Hall and Oates' cover of "Family Man" for the last #xpncountdown because I did not want to give Putin/Trump superfan Mike Oldfield — who I used to love — any oxygen. I've cut off Kathleen Edwards since learning she's a Bari Weiss superfan & said some red-flag stuff on World Cafe.

Hmm...I try not to give Trump/Putin superfan Mike Oldfield any attention these days so I couldn't vote for it on the #xpncountdown, but I'm surprised Darryl Hall & John Oates' cover of Oldfield's "Family Man" didn't make the list. youtu.be/-oiqiYdWXiM?...

Oof...this Duran Duran cover of Bowie's "Five Years" @[email protected] is playing for #xpncountdown 1-vote wonders is rough. But this version my friend @[email protected] recorded years ago (w/ me on organ) just missed being on my list. youtu.be/8h-MCYX4I5o?...

This morning, @[email protected] is playing #xpncountdown 1-vote wonders, & this is making me miss Diego Garcia. He just stepped away from music after his second solo album came out in 2013. And now some DJ w/ the same name creeps into my streaming feed because it can't tell the difference.

Thinking about the #xpncountdown & Gary Jules' cover of "Mad World." When Roland & Curt of TFF reunited in the mid-00s, they played it closer to Jules' version than their own original. Click the link (NOT thumb) to go right to "Mad World" performed live in 2005... www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC22...

Thinking about All Along the Watchtower winning the #XPNCountdown has me considering doing a BSG rewatch. It’s been years

Ooh...we're going to hear the originals from the #xpncountdown, starting at No. 1, and going until 10pm ET. That means we're going to hear @[email protected] a little later! Did this version at karaoke a few months ago... youtu.be/L3xpmfJp0Xc?...
