Festive 50:
Continuing a Christmas tradition started by the late broadcaster John Peel in 1976, an assortment of our DJs will be counting down through the best 50 tracks from 2010, as voted for by listeners to Dandelion Radio, with Rachael Neiman announcing this year's winner!
The show will broadcast daily (at different times) from Christmas Day until the end of January.

Festive Fifty Build Up Show:
Join a selection of Dandelion Radio DJs on Christmas Eve for this one-off, Festive Fifty Build-Up show. DJs will introduce some of their picks of 2010 that didn't make it into this year's listeners' poll, while warming up for the first play of 2010's results at midnight on Christmas morning.

Andrew Morrison:
Andy has a very special 3-hour show with three guests to round off the year: a spoken word session from The Orch; a second session for the show from Raw Milk (featuring two extraordinary cover versions); and an exclusive mix of material by High Frequency Bandwidth, the new project by Alex Patterson from The Orb and Dom Beken. …

Most of these things aren't terribly interesting, but I liked this one.

After having achieved the 10,000 songs benchmark, I just began to wonder what could be my all-time-favorite song. Always a tough one to ask, right? Last night while I was listening music in suffle, it all became clear. There are so many great songs that give you the shivers but there's one above everything else. The Roots - Act Too (The Love of My Life) might just be my favorite track in the world. It's hard to tell, though... Then again, if I had to name my favorite album, the answer would be crystal clear! Erykah Badu - Baduizm. I never get tired <3

Some other tracks from which I totally get goosebumps:

Souls of Mischief - 93 Til Infinity
SOM was the 1st real-deal rap gig I went to... Still remains amongst one of the best performances I've ever seen.
The Pharcyde - Passing Me By
I actually saw Pharcyde live recently.. Those guys were totally on crack :D But anyway, there are some great memories attached..
Ann Peebles - I Can't Stand The Rain

Motown Records, also known as Tamla-Motown outside of the United States, is a record label originally based out of Detroit, Michigan ("Motor City"), where it achieved widespread international success. Motown played an important role in the racial integration of popular music as the first record label owned by an African American and primarily featuring African American artists to regularly achieve crossover success and have a widespread, lasting effect on the music industry.

Incorporated on 12 January 1959 by Berry Gordy, Jr. as Tamla Records, Motown has, over the course of its history, owned or distributed releases from more than 45 subsidiaries in varying genres, although it is most famous for its releases in the musical genres of R&B, hip hop, pop, and soul. Motown left Detroit for Los Angeles in 1972, and remained an independent company until 1988, when Gordy sold the company to MCA. …
