Good evening! Just started working on this week's show. This Friday's live stream will be the 100th such performance to be captured and archived on our Mixcloud page!
I was wondering a bit about the artists and how frequently they have appeared in these broadcasts, so I went to my trusty spreadsheet and compiled some data you may find interesting.
Here are the top bands ranked by songs played within our first 99 live streams (it should not be surprising that Echo & The Bunnymen are #1, as Lips Like Sugar is the official show ending song.)
Nothing too shocking here, let me know if you see anything that surprises you!
