I don't like the way Wendy Rice pronounces "Sa-ur-day". Good thing she married the boss.

Johnny Mars is hosting it today. I like Wendy Rice's voice, though. It's just the right kind of cloying.

94 was my favorite year for music. Hip Hop peaked for me. But the rock was awesome too. Also a great year for movies.

It just occurred to me during a promo for this show (1977 this week) that it must be a special kind of hell to keep flashing back to the same twenty years every year for like thirty years. All those Regular Guy production pieces, all those Pretenders songs, over and over and over forever.

When I listen to WXRT I feel like the deejays are all characters from The Big Chill.

It's made having to work this morning much more tolerable. Was greeted with Buckley's cover of Hallelujah. Win.

Yeah, definitely. They even play "You Can't Always Get What You Want" all the damn time. I feel like Ryan Arnold and Lara Mondae (on-air gaffes aside) are doing a really good job of opening the playlist up and avoiding the aging boomer rut.
