June 25, 2008MusicCast Top 5: "Blacksburg" still No. 1, but then a shake-upFrom our very own digital Casy Casem, new channels editor Dwayne Yancey: > For the second week in a row, Mike Roos has the most-played video on the MusicCast with "Blacksburg," his song about the Virginia Tech shootings. After that, we have a shake-up. Jimmy Danger, featuring Neanderpaul, falls to No. 4 ("Nothing But Wrong" had been No. 1 a few weeks ago.) And the Pickin Buds fall out of the Top 5 altogether. Meanwhile, The Seed move up, and a third song by the band moves back in. Don't agree with any of these? We base the MusicCast Top 5 on who gets the most plays so if there's someone you like, just keep on clicking. > If you think your band's video should be in the Top 5, well, post it to our site, and maybe it will be. The top three videos this week are ones the artists recorded themselves. Details are below. Here’s the week's Top 5: 1. "Blacksburg," by Mike Roos June 24, 2008Charlie Hughes and a bandMaybe you remember Charlie Hughes, who graced our MusicCast with his ripping funky "Two Chicken Sandwiches." Now he's got a couple of cohorts, and they've posted a song called "Dun Dun Dun" -- Go to hear it and see the photos they posted with it on youtube.com. April 23, 2008Illbotz makes a return to the top 5From The Roanoke Times' New Channels Editor Dwayne Yancey: For the fourth week in a row, The Seed holds down the top two spots in our Top 5 list of the most-played local music videos on the MusicCast. And the Roanoke Allstars continue to hang in there, as well. But this week's surprise: Illbotz makes a return. The band announced recently it's breaking up, so perhaps fans are coming here to get another fix of the Roanoke rappers.

They both spend plenty of time doing their own thing and working with other musicians, but it's great when they perform together.
