I recorded it (yes, the Gen-X guy still has a DVR) when it aired on HBO but just haven't been able to start it because I know it'll make me too depressed for December.

I concur, which sucks. There's easily a doxen I would want to subscribe to but I just can't afford it all.

This week's is only 3 hours, so it'll be the shortest of all of them:

Oh I'm sure they must have back in that era!

Here's their top 10 tracks this year in AR airplay:
1 Dance, Kid, Dance (2025)
2 Killing Fields (2025)
3 Monsters (2018)
4 A Symptom Of Being Human (2022)
5 Dead Don't Die (2022)
6 Second Chance (2008)
7 Sound Of Madness (2008)
8 Three Six Five (2025)
9 How Did You Love (2015)
10 Simple Man (2004)

I know!

That totally makes sense. And what's amazing that even with all the active/mainstream rock hits they've racked up in the past 2 decades, that song is still in the Top 10 most played this year.

* I'm very doubtful.
* And since we've actually spoken about McCartney before, my heart wants to say no. But my brain knows that it's definitely a yes.

Oh I’m so so sorry. May his memory be a blessing.

Well, let me get some stuff together around Christmas and I’ll get back to you.

Oh man, I have thought about pitching something like this based on my active rock MD/on air days of the early to mid 90s.

Oh I have HATED this cover for many many years. I think I might have first heard it on (Capitaland flashback here) on WGY-AM when they still played music.

Are you in the normal Cafe time slot tomorrow? I always enjoy your appearances on these countdowns/themes.

That would be a great choice.

I wonder what will replace H5-0 on the nightly MeTV+ schedule. That paired with Mission: Impossible was some good prime time viewing this year.
