Top 5 countdown for 2012 on The 6.57 to St. John's

Okay I know, I know that is a lot of numbers in the title.

Well we started our end of year 2012 countdown for our top 61 songs of the year back on the 22 Dec.

Six judges including me reviewed 61 songs - gave each song a score and then those scores were totted up to give the chart. The other five judges only knew the names of the songs - and I listened to the songs with my back to the computer in order to avoid bias.

It worked out pretty well I think.

You'll need to check out the previous blog posts to see the rest of the chart however, we did play again today the songs that charted ten to six. The show would have been much too short otherwise.

You can hear the show by going to the archive on the Coop Radio website.

www.coopradio.org/station/archives/14077 (7am button)

Here is the countdown

#10 This is who I am - Mike O'Neill
#9 Make believe - Rhoneill
#8 Last night's dress - Modern Superstitions
#7 Palisades - Great Bloomers
#6 All of the apples in the basket - David Newberry
#5 Mountain town - Jon & Roy
#4 End of God - Grey Kingdom
extra, Imminent failure - Grey Kingdom
#3 Wendall Walker - Andy Shauf
extra, Jesus, She's a good girl - Andy Shauf
#2 Entre ici pis chez vous - Bernard Adamus
extra, Fulton Road - Bernard Adamus
#1 The Ocean - Ciseaux
extra, The Game - Ciseaux
extra, Dance Card - Ciseaux

and then for the second time in two days I had to leave Coop Radio early - so thanks to the computer a large part of the first hour was repeated in the second hour of the show.

Sound Resistance set list 11 Jan 2013

Well I totally wasn't expecting to do this show but there you go - life is full of surprises.

I am normally down to do the first SR show of the month. However - we needed a replacement at the last minute for Rowan but even then I had a bargaining meeting to attend for the paying gig at the library.

A day before that gig I got word that it had been cancelled which meant I could do my regular job - ooh - and also do SR.

So here is the set for the second SR show of the year on the global day of action for Idle No More
http://www.coopradio.org/station/archives/50 and check out the link (cut and paste) to hear the last hour of the 90 minute show. You'd have to trawl your way through Rock Talk to hear the first 30 mins.

Set list
It's over - Panos
Seveneight - Panos
Real gone - Indio Saravanja
Gone tomorrow - Panos
Rabble from a beehive - Saltwater
Go on now - Laura Merriman
Another line - Laura Merriman
Holy one - The Unquiet Dead
Waiting for a train - Matthew Hornell & The Diamond Minds
Holy ghost - Jon McKiel
Pleasure is all mine - Bjork
Light up bright fires - PVT

That looks like a short set list for a 90 min show, doesn't it well that's because I played a speech about Idle No More and also downloaded the last 20 minutes of last week's show and repeated in the last 20 minutes of 11 Jan show in order to get away early. I love computers.
