WPBZ played the Top 103 Buzzcuts of 2009 yesterday and repeated it again today. I'm sure they'll post it on their site in the next few days. I'll post it as soon as I see it. Matt, I heard "Breaking" before when they were up to I believe around the upper 60s and they played the hell out of "Feel Good Drag," so there will be no shortage of Anberlin there :)

Eh, I didn't miss much. Pretty routine with the songs everyone plays plus a few Canadian acts that nobody's ever heard of mixed in. Not as many huge omissions as they've had in the past (ie. "The Pretender" never having made one of their year-end lists). No "Sex On Fire" (Was this 2008? I can't remember), no "Last One To Die"...can't see too many more. Nice to see not a single Theory of a Deadman song on here when it's a Canadian-based channel and they surely had "Not Meant To Be" in mid-level rotation throughout the year.

8. Richy Nix - In My Head (Who??? Number Eight???)

Just to answer the question, i linked a youtube version so you can hear it.....and I wouldn't be shocked to see it get a 2010 US release but rather obviously a local-ish hit, even though it ran 21 consecutive weeks as the Peoples choice on x89 even beating AX7 one week.

Also why were surprised by Brick by Boring Brick (or put year in parentheses) it was released as the second single in November and has been played before that.

KNDD doesn't seem to have done a 2009 countdown (if they have, they haven't posted it on their website yet), so instead, I'll post their top 107 of the 2000s, which they ran all week long this week.

Also why were surprised by Brick by Boring Brick (or put year in parentheses) it was released as the second single in November and has been played before that.

He didn't put the year in parenthesis, he put the number 20 with question marks. As if to say: "Why is this song so high?"

[My Life Is A Stereo]

oh....I didn't get that , but that makes more sense. I honestly wondered if he thought this would be a 2010 or some future song, lol.

8. Richy Nix - In My Head (Who??? Number Eight???)

Just to answer the question, i linked a youtube version so you can hear it.....and I wouldn't be shocked to see it get a 2010 US release but rather obviously a local-ish hit, even though it ran 21 consecutive weeks as the Peoples choice on x89 even beating AX7 one week.

Also why were surprised by Brick by Boring Brick (or put year in parentheses) it was released as the second single in November and has been played before that.

Yeah, I've heard that song a few times; just didn't know who it was. Had no idea I was listening to basically a local act, but it's not unusual because when I follow the US charts but a Canadian radio station, I have no idea where they find some of these acts (I know that Ashes of Soma at #29 is another local act but they bore me to death). When it comes to year end countdowns though, they've traditionally tried to hide those unknowns, or not have them as high as their play count would indicate.

I don't know about those lyrics but the rest of that song is hook city, though.

And yeah, "Brick By Boring Brick" at #20 is way too high for a song they began playing in October, especially considering it beat out "Ignorance". But I've suspected ever since listening (and recording) their year-end countdown in 2000 that there isn't a lot of mathematics factoring into these lists.

Interesting that The Killers - Mr. Brightside is the consensus song of the last decade for multiple across the nation. LROQ had a top song of the decade countdown for Memorial Day weekend, and The Killers - Mr. Brightside was ranked #2 then (behind Foo Fighters - The Pretender).

KNDD's Top 107 of the 2000s

I would love listening to an Alternative block of programming like that. Sure, lots of deserving Active(-leaning) songs are absent, but I get enough of those at home. This would be a whole-heartedly welcome temporary change of pace.

Yeah, I saw that KPNT list. Quite Active Rock leaning for an alternative-reporting station. I've heard that this isn't rare for an alternative formatted station in the middle of the country.

I've always liked how WBRU leans a bit more "indie" than most alternative stations. Sure, they play Asher Roth, but it's a reasonable sacrifice knowing that they also play artists like The Big Pink and White Rabbits.
