In addition to being busy not providing a way to listen to the radio on my cell phone, every radio station in Los Angeles is forcing upon me the "top XYZ songs of Whenever!!!", where XYZ is equal to their radio frequency. Thus, we have the "top one-oh-six-point-seven songs of 2004!!!" from KROQ, the "top ninty-eight-point-seven songs from the 80s!!!" from STAR, the "top one-oh-one-point-one songs of all time!!!" from K-Earth, and so forth, ad nauseum.

Hey geniuses, get a new schtick. Plus, it's not even possible to have "point-seven" of a song. Holy crap.

It is possible to have a .7 of a song, just as it's possible to employ sheep's bladders to prevent earthquakes.

Hey Mike,

Tommy James and the Shondells imediately comes to mind...
