Haven't you all been saying the "new" AT40 staff sucks? This is just another example of it. It begins to make me wonder if Casey has any say in anything that goes on anymore, he(nor Ed, how can you NOT realize how stupid this week the song slips from 38 to 31 sounds even if reading it for the first time) doesn't pay attention to what he reads, or if he is going senile. I don't get AT20 here, but if it did and I did regularly listen to the show, it is one that would make me reconsider listening.
