Sorry about the delay with the podcast guys.......had a lot on my plate. It's been in the can for a while too but due to the shitty internet connection at our new place (and in Australia upload speeds are a fraction of already shitty download speeds) I have had to wait for my mobile/cell plan to tick over to a new month so I have the data allowance free on a speedier connection. I have also continued to discover some good new 2016 releases in recent weeks but you have to draw the line somewhere. If there's anything awesome I will include it in the 2017 show , assuming we do that. Given that the Top 40 is mostly obscure , this show will contain most of your favourites and I'm betting that pretty much everyone will find something new to like if you choose to invest the time.
Anyway......here's a new one for you.
https://yadi.sk/d/RZpP75UQ3CPL6zAs per usual the link is in the OP too so there's no need to find this post again later on. I am still finishing a Top 40-ish of 2016 countdown for another show but this is basically just a regular show - it just happens that 99% of the songs in it are from 2016. A "best of the rest" if you like. I have listened to it a number of times and am still enjoying it , so hopefully some of you will too. There is a bit more variety in styles than the average show - a number of songs will appeal to some and (very much) not others but that comes with the territory and with some knowledge of the varied tastes of our audience.
As per usual we appreciate any feedback , particularly for these themed/best of shows as they take many,many times longer to research/prepare than a regular show where I just pick semi-random stuff from my collection. Once I finish the other 2016 show that'll be it for these themed shows till late in the year. I may work on a Best of 1989 in the background during the year , just as I did for 1988 last year - just depends if I can find the time and motivation as the research is pretty time consuming . It's a bit of a labour of love though so I normally find an excuse.
Ben had plenty of input into the opening of the new show in particular - a new voiceover at the start and , in particular , a new years welcome designed especially for his buddy Tim
In order not to blow the time out further I just quoted band names during the show rather than album and track names .......with a band name and knowing it's from 2016 it's not too hard to figure out. But I will post a full artist/album/track name list for the show in the near future.
Enjoy.
