went town-to-town, up and down the dial this morning, trying to find music on the radio, instead of idiotic talk shows telling me about nascar soap operas, shea mattox' muscle relaxers, and really old, stupid, tired dirty jokes.

you can always count on 96.1.

[imagine the following in very saccharine announcer voice, like in a 50's commercial:]

"you can always count on 96.1!
"it's perfect for the office --- 96.1 is the only station everyone can agree on, because everybody LOVEs `louie, louie'!
"and what could be better than listening to `louie, louie' ALL DAY LONG?"

and, having just finished "louie, louie" right before that 15 second promo, they proceeded to play the terrible 80's devo/reggae version.  then, a 5-second promo, and back into the original version of "louie, louie."

it was so terrible, i was completely riveted.

until i got to work and got out of my car.

however, i didn't hear any actual commercials. and what with the emphasis on how great this station is for the office, i suppose it's the effort of one devillish maniac (or a dastardly coalition of evil supervillains) to incite lots and lots of workplace massacres.

(and, yes, i was quoting the theme song from WKRP.)
