Ok @wxpnfm.bsky.social. Caught me off guard playing The Housemartins “Caravan of Love” and now I’m weepy in my office. I needed that song. #TheyCan’tStopTheMusic

I’ve been in an out for the past twenty songs. Song #35 is where I leave off. Time to go work and outdoor event that will have me like this by the end of the #XPNcountdown. See ya on the other side!

Time for some math:
(Hallelujah covers 🤝 Jolene covers 🤝) 🤝 #XPNCountdown

Thanks to the webpage function and some comments here - like the fact I missed Donna Summer’s McArthur Park - I’ve updated my #XPNCountdown list.
And yes, the Weezer cover of Africa isn’t stunning. I’m surprised it’s 93. But it’s fund and did get new people to engage with the original soo 😇

Central Park was an easy one! It was right there!

@jmbolton.bsky.social you need to do this next year

#XPNCountdown in the mid-100s did not disappoint. That was an excellent hour of commuting music - Gipsy Kings cover of Hotel California to The Rolling Stones cover of Ain’t to Tired to Beg.

Whew made it! And the countdown kept it mostly in the up swing for the drive - yay!

12/10/205 - welp. Looks like this will be a tradition now….

The internet likes to remind me of this fact at least once a year, so it was an immediate top if the list choice for me.

Yeaa!!! Nataliieeee! - that’s what’s going on at 153!! #XPNCountdown

Finally checking one off my list! Tiffany’s cover of” I Think We’re Alone Now” at 227! #XPNCountdown

Welp. I found what my brain was thinking of. I think we’re remembering different things, but just in case…. youtu.be/Ffv0lqpep0M?...

I was thinking this may be some sort of tik tok damage to my brain that all I could hear was a Dr.Phil bed in my head during the intro. If it’s not internet then my guess is WMMR.

Thanks! That makes sense. Yay music!

Post drive #XPNCountdown question: it’s ok if The Allman Brothers jam but not Phish? Is it the length? I do agree some jams go on too long but… - good jam is a good jam…

@kallao.bsky.social just called it “more of a dirge you’d hear on the Edmund Fitzgerald.” 💀

Normally I enjoy The Lumineers. That toy piano brought back memories of the old church practice piano and now both my ears and nerves are on edge #XPNCountdown

Oh this is so fun! Angelique Kidjo covering Talking Heads “Once in a Lifetime” #XPNCountdown 💃🏼

And you missed Marilyn Manson’s Tainted Love! 😵‍💫

I’ve missed chunks of the #XPNCountdown, so I have to find a resource to check off my submissions. Songs 1-5 are ones I spent a long time not knowing were covers and 6-7 are covers I deeply enjoy.

Following the 2025 #XPNCountdown and learning so much this year! Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused” being a cover is the big discovery

Last week in the UK: what is monkey bread!??
Me: who makes a savory monkey bread!??

This week in the UK: flapjacks! School memories!
Me:…..I apparently don’t know what a flapjack is.

Hint: I typically see flapjacks used to refer to a thicker with pancake. No oats anywhere. #GBBO

My brain: “huh! I definitely would not include “Regulate” in the Yacht Rock category, but ok XPN…”
