lol can't believe I missed Manuel Göttsching giving LCD Soundsystem such a bitchy You Know Nothing of My Work reading back in the day for '45:33'
They really went out on top in 2011 — Paramore and Sade (!!) losing to a live "Hey Soul Sister." Glee Cast (Regionals Version) also recognized!
The culture dearly misses the Best Pop Performance by a Duo or a Group With Vocal Grammy. Nowhere else in award show history will you find Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" and MGMT's "Kids" losing to two different Black Eyed Peas songs.
"Michael Irvin, Santa Claus, and Jordan Walker of the St. Louis Cardinals..."
A little late redemption at least! Incredible list, as always. No musical institution I'd rather spend my 4th of July weekend with. (And thanks to Lisa's parents for letting us put on the top 10 at the family Q.)
Brutal first five out! Only three of my 10 still alive. The No. 1 still in play at least. Cool to still have some surprises to come though.
So close. (Also I got too cute trying to predict the Nazz version. My dad would've appreciated the effort anyway.)
Slightly hrmph about this one. Does this mean "Maneater" is highest H&O? Not like there's a bad choice, but... wouldn't have been mine.
Ouch! Guess they're going "Didn't I" as the highest Delfonics - was always a bit of a coin flip, thought "La-La" would get the historical edge for coming first. (Also just think it's a little better.)
"Fly Eagles Fly" down. Better mean "Here Come the Sixers" still to come. (Which musically would be undoubtedly correct but still sorta unexpected given general Philly Birds Supremacy.)
First one off the board! Surprising. Guess "Love Train" or "I Love Music" will be highest O'Jays? Hope it's the latter.
Man there is just nothing better than an XPN countdown. Only thing that could ever compete is if/when @bradshoup.bsky.social and @natalieweiner.bsky.social co-program their own station someday
Btw I found an outpost of the family business while in Barcelona
I have no idea if this is actually what Gavin Rossdale is mumbling over the breakdown section to "Machinehead" but I desperately hope that it is
Very disappointed that as many times as I've seen this sign here I've still yet to run across one single person dancing on a piano
not shocking but streaming audiences certainly like their Yo La Tengo vibey
In more excellent Phillies news, Cristopher Sanchez's Baseball-Reference page finally updated to include last night's dominant performance so now we can all luxuriate in the eye-popping amount of black in his 2026 stat line
y'know based on the look of the board I feel like maybe this game isn't really that serious
