So glad @wxpnfm.bsky.social is archiving the #XPNCountdown. Took me a minute for it to sink in, after hearing it repeated, but being 6 hours ahead means it starts at 2 or 4pm and ends at 10 or midnight. Gonna have to opt out of some of the real time talk here (devastating, I know).

I think 3 Southside Johnny tunes so far on the #XPNCountdown? a bit of a surprise to me, but I don't feel any way about it. This is not a great version of Walk Away Renee though. So I guess I do feel some sort of way about it.

Is the #XPNCountdown waking up again for me? Seems promising w/the Dickies and FNM 🤞
December 6, 2025 at 8:27 PM
OMG Thank you XPN Voters for the Dickies cover of Nights in White Satin!!! #XPNCountdown

This is a good time for me to wash the dishes, if this is how it's gonna be #XPNCountdown

Another nifty transition from Ciccone Youth into Galaxie 500! #XPNCountdown
December 6, 2025 at 6:45 PM
Lordt I forgot about Ciccone Youth!! lol #XPNCountdown (this really ranked this high?!)

looks like it happened while I was out a couple hours ago!

"Well they blew up the chicken man in Philly last night" is one of the best opening lines of a song #XPNCountdown
December 6, 2025 at 6:34 PM
not my favorite Joni song 😬 #XPNCountdown
December 6, 2025 at 6:19 PM
DAMN this song Phoebe Bridgers is covering. holy crap #XPNCountdown😭

Really great article in today's @inquirer.com about Rachel Harlow, who I somehow had never heard of before. What a life! what a lady!
www.inquirer.com/life/a/harlo...
Harlow's still here
Fifty years ago, Harlow was the queen of Philadelphia nightlife, Jack Kelly’s girlfriend, and the city's most famous transgender woman. Today, she’s ready to tell her story.

my brain almost exploded when I realized this was Bowie covering Springsteen. I never knew! #XPNCountdown
December 6, 2025 at 5:13 PM
oh I did not recognize Paul Westerberg's voice in this Nowhere Man cover (through my crunching on kettle chips) #XPNCountdown
December 6, 2025 at 5:02 PM
Oh my God. Santa Claus is Coming to Town by Bruce Springsteen is going to be #1 on the #XPNCountdown, isn't it

Oh dang. Did I even remember the Hanky Panky album of Hank Williams songs covered by The The when picking songs for the #XPNCountdown? Nope. I don't know how I'd have chosen, though.
December 6, 2025 at 4:31 PM
Oh, I bet The Scientist had a lot of different artist submissions too. Has Willie ever not done a good cover? #XPNCountdown

I don't know who Ellen McIlwaine is but this Blind Faith cover is beautiful! Kudos, once again, to #XPNCountdown voters!

In case you're still scarred by the DC Talk version earlier on the #XPNCountdown here's the Freaks and Geeks version of Jesus Is Just Alright

Sometimes I wonder how many troll votes the #XPNCountdown gets every year. Did that many people really love this? And it begs the question...is Kylie going to make an appearance later?

Well, this Mott The Hoople cover of the Velvet Underground reminds me, I read a Lou Reed bio and Ian Hunter's 1974 tour memoir this year #XPNCountdown
December 5, 2025 at 7:41 PM
I think the Prog Rock Cabal has resurfaced for this Season of the Witch marathon song on the #XPNCountdown (just that it's long, not prog)
