Y-Rock on XPN Top 88.5 songs of 2007

[carnyfeet]

Thought about putting this in with the WMMR Top Songs of 2007 thread, but then figured that it probably deserved it's own topic.

During the month of December, Y-Rock asked it's listeners to vote for their top 10 songs of 2007. The results were tallied and the countdown was aired online yesterday in it's entirety. It will re-air, in two parts, tonight and Friday night on 88.5 WXPN-FM.

Y-Rock on XPN Top 88.5 Songs of 2007
WXPN 88.5 FM
Thursday, January 3rd from 8-11pm (part 1)
and
Friday, January 4th from 7-11pm (part 2)

For anyone still unfamiliar with the format, it's a great introduction to some of the awesome music that's been a hit with modern, alternative, and indie rock fans over the past year. I'll post the complete list for discussion here as soon as it's available.

A good mix, too bad I don't listen to FM anymore.

A good mix, too bad I don't listen to FM anymore.

I can't speak for the station at large, but I consider us an Internet radio station 1st, an HD-2 station 2nd, and a show on WXPN 3rd. So hopefully you'll give us a listen on the 'net.
