The Ledge #700: Lucky Number Seven

700 episodes of The Ledge? Who would have ever believed that to be possible? I certainly didn't when I started this show way back in 2010. Podcasts were relatively new at this point, and I just assumed it would be a fun lark that would fizzle out within a few months. Even the format of the show was different back then. For the most part, I invited friends to pick out a dozen or so of their favorite songs, and we'd talk about them in between playing them.

Everything changed when I linked up with RealPunkRadio. Suddenly this was a real radio show. Suddenly I had some labels and artists sending me music. These shows were primarily centered around elaborate themes, as that's the way my mind thinks. There just HAS to be a reason to air a song.

The themes still exist all these years later, but the concepts are much looser. Every month there's a new release episode or two. I may celebrate certain years, or have all-covers broadcasts. But rarely do I go much deeper than that.

Even tonight's celebration isn't exactly a deep thought concept. I figured pulling together over two hours of "track 7's" would be perfect for the 700th show. Not necessarily the best track 7's of all time, but the ones that caught my eye (and ear) when I spent hours going through my master library. 

I hope you like what I've put together...not just tonight but for the previous 699 episodes and for whatever comes in the next 700. What's your favorite track of the night?
