I appreciate how music can take you back to a specific time and place. Iron and Wine's "Naked As We Came" on #XPN is taking me right out of work this morning and dropping me straight onto the cobblestone streets of Baltimore's Fells Point c. 2007.

See a podiatrist and get fitted for orthotics.

Not me blasting out my iPhone speakers for "Folsom Prison Blues" on #WXPN this morning.

Did you enjoy the #XPNCountdown? Throw a few bucks their way. WXPN is a public radio station!

Closing my eyes and rocking out to "Watchtower," another one that Hendrix made his own. Thank you for the #XPNCountdown, introducing me to so many incredible covers I had never heard, reminding me of favorites I had forgotten, and being great company this week!

My #1 vote at #2 and I'm not mad about it. The man in black singing "Hurt" is a definitive cover for the ages. #XPNCountdown

"Or it ends early"
"Or we'll have lots of interviews"

shhh only possible options

We have 42 more minutes of the countdown and only 2 spaces. So either the top 2 are both Phish covers, or we have a bunch of ties coming up. (Only possible options.) #XPNCountdown

โ€œMockingbirdโ€ came to mind when I was brushing my teeth last night. Just a little too late to add it to my vote!

You nailed it!

I can only imagine I was the only person to cast a vote for Pomplamooseโ€™s โ€œ99 Red Balloons + Take On Me Mashup.โ€

Janis Joplin took โ€œMe and Bobby McGeeโ€ and gave it LIFE. #XPNCountdown #MyTop10

The Bangles, giving me some hope for the end of this #XPNCountdown! My #8, clocking in at a respectable #23 with their take on โ€œHazy Shade of Winter.โ€

โ€œWoodstockโ€ was YET ANOTHER of my 11s! I donโ€™t remember cutting it from my final #XPNCountdown voting list, either. That last day before I submitted, the second half of my list played a lot of musical chairs.

TMBG โ€œISTANBULโ€ - I knew the #XPNCountdown would need ZERO help from my vote to get this one in the top 50!

โ€œA matter of some mirth.โ€
New phrase to incorporate into my daily speech, thanks to artist interviews during the #XPNCountdown.

To be fair, โ€œfollow your heartโ€ is my advice in most areas. ๐Ÿ˜‚

As someone who had no part in creating this game or making its rules, I say follow your heart. ๐Ÿ˜…

I donโ€™t know! I was more concerned about mashups.ย I splurged with one mashup in my Top 10, and although it hasnโ€™t been played (and wonโ€™t be) in the countdown, a cover of each of the songs in the mashup *have* been. So I counted 2 points for that.

CCRโ€™s โ€œGrapevineโ€ is another of my 11s to hit the #XPNCountdown, and I knew they wouldnโ€™t need my vote to do well. Time to re-share my favorite album cover, this time for a track thatโ€™s actually on this record.

Heading into the top 50 of the #XPNCountdown with 9.75 points on my #CoverSongCountdownScoreCard. With the range weโ€™ve had from #51โ€“#100, this could truly go anywhere.

OK, Eva Cassidy, Iโ€™ve never heard your take on โ€œFields of Goldโ€ before but now I actually like the song. ๐Ÿ˜ #XPNCountdown
