    It's taken a little big to get this one out, but it's finally done. I think that this experiment with the Hot Rock  & Alternative Songs chart has been a success and I am planning on continuing it into 2022. Now. Let's see how many 2021 countdowns I can get out before then!

    The Killers 2020 tour: American rockers announce huge UK outdoor shows kicking off in Falkirk
    The Killers

    Hey everyone! We are blasting towards the end of 2020 and, as you may know, or maybe not, 2021 will bring a switching of source charts for this show! I've been using the Alternative Songs airplay chart for a little over 10 years, but next year we're going to give the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart a shot. It will reflect the airplay as well as the streaming and purchasing of songs. So it'll be more in the hands of the people!

    This episode was a lot of fun and it also brought one of my favorite songs of 2020 onto the show!

    Enjoy!

    Alright. Here we are, back in the saddle. One of the best things about switching to monthly posts is that I can get fairly behind but I'm still not all that behind, if you take my meaning. So here is the countdown for the month of July. I've been working very hard to get caught up on all my editing and I think I'm going to hopefully be able to finish the year with a sigh of relief from a job well done! This is a good countdown and it contains the debut of a song that you're going to want to pay attention to now, so that you can remember where you were when we're still talking about it months and months and months later!

    Okay, so I was doing SO well for like 2 months and then all of a sudden I'm behind again. But that's okay! I'll get the episodes out when they come out! This episode also has a special announcement that not even I was aware was going to happen until the last intro of the episode. So look forward to that! And enjoy!

    Hey everyone! Well we made it through another month (basically) and so there's another batch of songs from Alternative Radio to listen to! We'll be back next month. Stay safe and healthy. And also, I hope it's very clear that at Appetite For Distraction, we firmly support Black Lives Matter and want swift justice for George Floyd and every other Black human being that has been murdered by police officers. The system is broken and we need to fix it.

    Hey! So, this is what monthly countdowns looks like! We are back with all of the songs that charted in April. And my daughter is here to weigh in on what she thinks of the songs from this month. We had such a fun time recording that this might become an occasional feature. I hope you have as much fun. The "cover art" for this episode is not random as it normally is, but was purposefully selected after Lila correctly pointed out that there's only one female voice in this whole countdown. (Diet Cig has an album you could go preorder, if you were interested....)

    So there's a holiday started by the McElroy brothers (of MBMBAM/The Adventure Zone/etc fame) called Candlenights and a couple of groups I'm in do Candlenights gift exchanges. One such Candlenights exchange got me a gift from Colin M Parker (The Podboss of The Scavengers Network) where he counted down the Top 5 songs from our friendship and I'm going to share that show with you right now! Enjoy! (I'll post the Countdown
