Episode 77: The Birthday Best Awards 2010!

Puck

Puck

The second annual Birthday Best Awards have arrived again, meaning that The Justin Wayne Show is now two-years old!  Wow… we’re gonna be gnawing on the sides of coffee tables and opening doors we shouldn’t soon!

As far as those doors we should open, we ran down the top 25 songs of the year voted on by four of us here at JW towers and many of you – over 350 of you!  Thanks for doing that, we appeciate it.  The feedback form is still up, but on a different page – http://thejustinwayneshow.com/feedback if you fancy giving us your opinion.  We’re going to be making some changes here in our third year, let us know what you’d like to see happen!

I must give a big thanks to a few people, as I tend to do this time of year, for making this all possible.  First, Jason for his writing and encouragement, Ryan Flynn for the theme song, and Jamie for her unconditional love and support.   David Couch for coming on and writing for us (he even came down and helped me do this show!)

David and Justin

Also thanks to Jordan, Dave, Alex and Minki at Recharged Radio and Jarrod on Tourdates for their big boost into the live radio world again this year.  And, I can’t forget to thank our new cat (and JW Show mascot) Puck!  Thanks for not chewing through the power cord!  It’s been an amazing year.  I’m excited to dig into year three with so many great allies!

As is also customary with this awards show, I don’t want to spoil the winners for those that missed the live show or always listen to the podcast.  I will still put the top 25 songs below but the actual list, in order won’t be available in a text form until next week.  You’ll have to actually listen to the show to find out!

The awards that are up for grabs:

  • Best Artist of the Year
  • Best Song of the Year
  • Best Band Name of the Year
  • Presenter’s Picks (Each Presenter gets one of these)
  • Audience Choice Award

And the nominees are…

The Top 25 Songs Submitted to the Justin Wayne Show in 2009

(in no particular order… yet!)

The full playlist, in order, as well as the winners of the respective awards will be posted in text next week, but to find out just listen, download, or subscribe to this show right now!  See you next week for the results.

Cheers,

Episode 68: Actions, Reactions and Misunderstandings

zalinski-arm1Kerpow!  This new EP from Zalinski is crammed full of thick, jam-based, guitar rock that (if you fancy a good rock n’ roll tune) you’re gonna really enjoy.  We’ve got the band on the show (in their car, actually) chatting to us about how they came together, the way they write, and where this new EP is taking them.  What’s it called?  Actions, Reactions, and Misunderstandings.  We obviously liked it so much we named the episode after it.

This week we were notified that The Justin Wayne Show has been nominated for a European Podcast Award which was EXCELLENT news!  Care to donate thirty seconds (not money!) of your time for the cause?  Head over and vote!

Episode 62: Now on Recharged Radio

mainlogowithskylineIf you missed it last night don’t worry, there’s plenty more where that came from.  We’ve joined up with Recharged Radio and now stream the show over there first at 8pm GMT on Wednesdays… then we podcast it out on Thursday.  (I keep saying this for the podcasting folk so they don’t worry!)

We had LOADS of crackin’ tracks on the show this week, nearly 30 which is a JW Show record.  Perhaps we’ll have to try and push 30 in one of these upcoming RR shows.  It won’t happen with some of the interviews we’ve been scheduling… which is even better news for you!

So… next week 8pm GMT on Wednesday (click for a time zone converter) meet us back here or on http://rechargedradio.com for the next episode.  Watch this spot as we may even be doing it live.  Like Bill O’Reilly says…
