Episode #100: 100th Episode Special!


Holy milestone! More than two and a half years into this enterprise, Star Time has hit triple digits. I believe this means I can order any item from Denny's seniors menu and get it for absolutely free. The hundredth episode of our little show features, among other things, a countdown of the top 25 most-played artists in the history of Star Time. I'm leaving the customary tracklist off this post for now, just to milk the suspense. Next week: The inevitable decline begins.
