Introduction and Color Coding

Hello, and welcome to my blog.

A few things you may need to know:

Each week, I post the Sirius XM Hits 1 Weekend Countdown.

Occasionally, I post my personal top 45, known as Curlin's Top 45 (Curlin is one of my other names).

The color-coding on the songs in the Weekend Countdown reflects what I think about those songs, so here's the code:

Red = Song is very bad
Orange = Song is old
Yellow = Song is OK
Green = Song is good
Light Blue = Song is bad
Blue = Song is great
Purple = Best song on the countdown
Pink = Worst song on the countdown

Sometimes, I also include blurbs for a little extra insight.

That's about it, hope you enjoy the blog!
