a few thoughts

- I don't know why it makes me so mad, but the woman who does the announcing/voice over work for Around the Horn and PTI is awful. Just the thought of her saying "Around the Horn" or "Hooray Beer!" makes me cringe. How can you screw up an expression like "Hooray Beer"? It's an inherently good phrase. Yet she makes me feel as though it's a spot on the Bingo card next G-15. Pay attentio to the lead in and out of every commercial the next time you watch one of these shows. She's absolutely incompetent.

-Over the weekend 99x left people vote for their favorite 99x songs of all time. They tallied up the top 1000 songs and played them over the weekend. This list seems like it would be very helpful if you wanted to make a mix, or bulk up your iTunes library.

-Unfortunately, I'm afraid that this Ramen cookbook is going to become all to handy over the next few weeks. The 1996 Toyota Camry was a very nice and cheap car for along time. However the repairs I've had done over the last 6 months are killing me. I can't wait for Carmax to take it off my hands.

- The 99 X "Freedom of Choice 1000 Songs" will be replayed starting today at 10:00 AM until midnight everyday this week until they finish.
- I have looked through the list and have one suggestion for 99 X. Dear 99 X, review this list of 1000 songs and look at your current playlist. The top 1000 is the way to go.
- Finally, I am sure there are a couple of other mistakes, but here are two that I caught. I am pretty sure that 99 X never has played Einstein on the Beach by The Counting Crows. It was just recently released on their greatest hits album, but was a concert staple for a long time. It is a great song but I think they just put it on the list. Also, Everything About You by Ugly Kid Joe was never played on 99 X. I am pretty sure of this since I have listened to 99 X since it changed from Power 99 and Axl the afternoon DJ backs me up on this one.

Yeah, there are some weird things on there but that always happens when you have an online vote.

For example, I love Possum Kingdom by the Toadies but that was only as high as it was because the band is based out of Atlanta and they must have had everyone on their mailing list vote for it or something.
