Here's the rebuttal to last night’s program where the listeners weigh in on the best new music releases of 2007. Thanks to all of the listeners who voted. We found that there were some hard-fought battles this year between a pianist, a string quartet, and a departed composer. Find out who emerged victorious from Smackdown 2007 on the 22nd annual New Sounds Listener Poll show.

Enjoyed your show last night. Thanks. Was wondering if the list was posted anywhere? Specifically looking for John's #5 pick.
Missed John's Top Ten. Are they posted ?
Are podcasts available of past programs?
The list is posted, yes. Here's that link: http://www.wnyc.org/shows/newsounds/episodes/2008/01/09
Podcasts of New Sounds are not yet available, no. Look for that to change this spring.
