LAST Live 105 playlist June 30, 2008

So yeah, this is it. More than three years (off and on) of transcribing Live 105 playlists in my journals came to an end on June 30, 2008. At this point, I was only listening to Live 105 to write down the 10 songs. The playlists were just sounding way more repetitive and corporate. I also had gotten a Last.fm account six months earlier, so I was basing my music discoveries more around that and continuing to listen to the music that was already on my iPod. As a result, I stopped listening to Live 105 altogether and wouldn't pick up again for at least another four years (Even then, I really only listen when I'm in my car).

This was the last playlist I ever transcribed. Does that mean I'm done with this blog? No, I may continue to post other old playlists I find from Radio & Records. Until then, it's been fun clearing out my closet. I didn't reach a wide audience, but we'll see how many hits I get when '00s nostalgia kicks in.

1. Rise Against- The Good Left Undone

2. Vampire Weekend- A-Punk

3. Foo Fighters- Times Like These (Acoustic)

4. 311- Beautiful Disaster

5. Bob Marley- Could You Be Loved?

6. P.O.D.- Youth of the Nation

7. Coldplay- Viva La Vida

8. Linkin Park- Shadow of the Day

9. Nirvana- All Apologies

10. Weezer- Pork and Beans

BONUS: Live 105's top 105 of 2008

Yeah, I won't be getting to 2008 for a while (Likely before the next Ice Age. I promise!), but I stumbled across this on Archive.org and wanted to post it here.

Live 105's year-end countdown had been a tradition since the station started, but it looks like they stopped doing them after this.

It always annoyed me that half of the list would be comprised of songs from previous years. I don't mean songs that came out the previous year but became bigger that year. I mean songs that came out in the previous year but were barely played that year. Sometimes it was even songs from two to four years earlier. It just seems like they're pushing out a lot of smaller songs that still had somewhat of an impact.

But I digress. Here's the list.
