Brandi Carlile is to me what Joni Mitchell is for Emma Thompson in Love Actually.

I was in high school when Orgy’s Blue Monday came out. The trend back then was to use white out pens to write band names you liked on your backpack.

Imagine being asked by a friend’s 10 year old sister what “orgy” meant as she read it 😳
Then having to explain to your parents…

#XPNcountdown is equal parts “A cover of a John Prine song, featuring John Prine on vocals” and “various artists covering Bob Dylan”

Oh and sometimes a surprise.

Thank you to the #xpncountdown voters who introduced me to this Tina Turner cover of Whole Lotta Love. I didn’t know it existed and that was fabulous.

If I had known the rules for the #XPNcountdown were going to be thrown out, I would have voted for One by Mary J Blige. I didn’t, because Bono sings for the first few seconds and then rightfully backs off to let her powerhouse of a voice take over. You should listen. tidal.com/track/347415...
Mary J. Blige & U2 - One
Listen to One on TIDAL

I think most voters in the #xpncountdown thought the brief was “greatest songs written by Bob Dylan and performed by someone else”

I refuse to accept that multiple people had this on their list. Is XPN the victim of a cyber attack? #xpncountdown

Who doesn’t want to dance with David Byrne though? #xpncountdown

Baby, if you ever wondered whatever became of me, I’ll be living on the air in Philadelphia… Join me on @ynotradio.net from 5-8pm. We’ll listen to some music. Maybe learn a little about ourselves…

@democrats.org the audacity to use my donation amounts from The Harris campaign to barrage me with emails to continue donating to “the fight” as my 2 Democratic Senators in DE voted for multiple orange king cabinet picks. You have way more than. Tap into the billionaires pocketbooks (cont)

The end of the #xpncountdown is like finishing an incredible book series. You get to the end and go “now what”. Til next year, friends.

I admit that I learned about “Bust Your Windows” from watching Glee back in the day. #xpncountdown

If the Only Heartbreaker was submitted by an Elliot, that’s my 17 year old Mitski lover. They can’t remember if this was on theirs. #xpncountdown

Picture this, it’s summer 2002. A freshly 18 year old version of me is driving down I-95, windows down, blaring Clocks, and singing along with friends. The most carefree I would ever be again. #xpncountdown
