Friday Night Blogging
Yeah, I'm blogging at home -- alone -- on a Friday night. But no fear -- it's not like I'm going to be watching Friday Night Videos (unlike, say, most of my middle school years).
I'm heading out in a half-hour or so. Not going to make it all the way into Adams Morgan for the blogger happy hour, but it's something.
In the meantime, UFC is on Spike.
Along the way I noticed something disturbing: Hitch is on right now on both TBS and TNT.
I'm not sure what movie would warrant simultaneous multi-channel showings, but I know that Hitch is not one of them.
Other thoughts:
* Z100 (WHTZ) in New York used to do a Friday 5 O'Clock Whistle. Maybe they still do. They would play a steam whistle sound effect, then play Todd Rundgren's Bang the Drum All Day, then Loverboy's Working for the Weekend.
I still associate those songs with Fridays.
* Amy Winehouse's Rehab -- heard it for the first time yesterday. Talk about a throwback sound -- it feels like it should be in the next Austin Powers movie.
It's a little gimmicky. Let's see how many hit songs she gets.
* That Lip Gloss song -- heard it for the first time in the gym this week (they have XM): Catchy beat, but what a stupid, stupid song. Not to mention one big consumer fetish song.
Okay, out of here.

JJ -- yeah, at this point, I guess I'd have to look to the oldies station for those songs (and didn't I just read that WCBS flipped formats back from Jack?); does the current 5 O'clock Whistle have any standard songs associated with it?
