It is hard to believe that we started doing our Friday live stream episodes one year ago this week!

While it was a humble beginning, with a daunting learning curve at first, and fledgling platform that was in Beta for a LONG time, the show has now grown into something I take a bit of pride in.

More importantly, I have made many new friends during that year, and I thank every one of you for giving me good reasons to stay with this, even when the tech let us all down (Let's not talk about the Halloween Special more than we have to...)

Although the current situation with the archiving has got me a bit miffed, I know too that Mixcloud has made a pledge to continue to work on providing us all the best platform possible for feeling the joy of music.

I am making a similar pledge to you all, with the intention that I will continue to make the show even better in 2021!

​Thanks again!

After many rounds played and thousands of votes cast by our many friends, this year's Music Madness Tournament (unlike its real-life counterpart) has managed to deliver a final game that was highly competitive.

So competitive, in fact, that when to polls closed last night, the two opponents had the exact same number of votes!

The polling software we use automatically selected a random winner, but we have elected to go with a solution that was a bit more scientific.

To break the tie, we have decided to go back and tabulate the total number of votes each band received in all rounds, and add those scores together to determine a winner. this process favored one band over the other, by just 6 votes!

Congratulations to Depeche Mode, our 2021 Music Madness Champs!

​We want to thank all of you who took the time to place your votes during this year's contest, we hope that next year's event will be even bigger and better than this one!

Enjoy your day!
