I’d also like to invite all of you to vote for the Festive 50:

1. Choose up to 50 (yes fifty) songs that were released in 2009 that you like. If you can only think of 10 .. don’t worry .. I’d still like to know what they are.

2. Send the list to me at contrast.podcast@gmail.com starting with your favourite track at number 1.

3. Do this by Sunday 15th November at the latest .. and try to get other people to vote too .. please!!

4. I will compile a short list of the top 100 songs which we will vote on to be in the top 50 and then start inviting people to record introductions.

5. Any questions? …. good … get thinking!!!

Those four DI boxes came from here.

The theme for this episode, thought up by Kevin from Let Me Educate You, is songs with the most excellent of count-ins. We had so many contributions that the whole thing had to be cut into two with more to come next week. So count to four and get happy.
