My Xmas gift to PMB: Matt's Top 50/100 of 2003!

[Matt4319]

The show is ready for your listening pleasure.

It's referred to as top 50/100 because the file is named "top100of2003" and I refer to it as that in the show a couple of times, but most of the references are to "Matt's Top 50 of 2003" because that's the main focus.

The show is approximately four hours long, divided into 4 segments of between 55 and 58 minutes. Songs 51-100 are represented by 15-second or so clips, while the top 50 songs are played in their entirety.

Enjoy!

Crap... I just realized I didn't put in billcs's intro for Red Hot Chili Peppers "Can't Stop". I guess I can put what he said in text instead of audio though.

"Happy charting, everyone. I'm billcs from the Pulse Message Board forums, as well as Charts Central and The Tuned-On! Top 30. At #44, the Red Hot Chili Peppers with "Can't Stop".

Hahahaha! You played "hyrmsomedaymuym"! I didn't even notice that's what it was at first!

I'm listening right now. So far, it's been quite good. (I'm up to #48 now) Can't wait to hear specialized intros from my fellow Pulse Music Board members!

Comments as I'm listening:

-I should've talked a little louder for my intro
-I didn't realize the 'F' word was said at the beginning of both verses of "Suffocate".
-I'm probably the only one listening to this that's heard #32 before and that's only because Matt sent it to me several months ago(I don't remember why).
-The guest intros are the best part
-Very nice job overall Matt

LOL @ "Noah Eaton"!!!

[Mega248]

Whoa, #5 for the year? I didn't realize you'd charted that song at all, probably because I didn't hear it/start loving it until the end of September. Good for you for charting it so high unreleased.

(I won't spoil it for everyone else by naming the song )

When I first saw that, I figured it might've had something to do with The Ataris (uggh). ;)

I'm fairly sure Bengino Man, FreakyFlyBry, and stevie nice have also heard it.

I didn't chart it. (I didn't chart #4 either.) (You'll notice a technicality when I said that "Headstrong" was the highest song to chart, but miss the top 10. The #5 and #4 songs are why I made that distinction.)

I first heard the song in like April or May, somewhere around there.

And indeed, I did hear it beforehand.

Very nice countdown too Matt!!! I didn't even notice when you posted yours also.

You did a pretty nice job with it. I like how you just played a snippet of many of your favorite songs.

While at home, I am on dialup right now, so I can't stream online! :( I am downloading the files now though. I should get them all in like an hour or so...

[Jeffster]

I'm listening to it right now. I like that one song that keeps saying "bag of chips, bag of chips, bag of chips." It's all that.

[Matt4319]

Lol... you're listening to "Bandages" by Hot Hot Heat.

[mst3k]

LMAO at "bag of chips"...
