Give The People What They Want! - Rick's Picks 2011
NEW FOR JANUARY 15, 2012
As is our custom, for the beginning of the new year we turn over the controls to Rick From New York, who dives into the BRYHNH catalog and comes up with the top picks from 2011.
We now join Rick in progress . . .
Have you ever wondered how the twisted mind of Mr. Bax conjures up the titles, themes and sound bites for BRYHNH every two weeks? How does he match sounds, images and music to create a sublime mash-up time after time?
Well, don't look at me . . .
I'm just as mystified as anyone else. But I have tried to take a few different approaches to my own year-end "best of" entries. This year, I've noticed a sharp uptick in the number of comment postings and many appreciations for specific tunes, so I have decided to create a "People's Choice" version of Rick's Picks. Along with a nod to the two amazing "special edition" podcasts, I scanned the comments section of the BRYHNH website for ideas to go into the mix with a couple of my own and was very pleased with the results.
I hope you like "Give the People What They Want !" BRYHNH Vol. 176 - Rick's Picks 2011
Best,
Rick from New York

Another episode I can burn for the morning commute and set the tone for any day. Thanks Rick and of course Perry. We can all enjoy the snow with a bit more insight.

Another super 'best of', Perry (and Rick). Great to hear that Townshend rendition again, one of my favorite tracks from the Quad podcast. Happy New Year to you!

My favorite shows of the year are always the Rick's Picks, as our musical tastes intersect nearly identically. Here's another winner!
