<span title="Strictly yesterday evening, but that counts as “tonight”">Tonight</span> I began <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/gregknicholson/journal/">a music recommendation blog over on Last.fm, cunningly entitled “the Friday Fetch-it”</a>. In the process I discovered that my hands think yesterday was “Firday”.
</p>
<p>
I also came up with the perfect slogan for Last.fm - “Stay tuned”. It works on multiple levels, as do all the best slogans, providing you define being “tuned” as the state of having tunes... which you should.
</p>
<p>
Originally, I was planning to make a weekly post to <a href="http://www.thetwaddle.co.uk/forums">The Twaddle Forums</a>, primarily as a way to liven the place up a bit, but then decided to turn it into a full-blown blog. I briefly considered using <a href="http://blogger.com">Blogger</a> until I realised that Last.fm's music journal is designed for exactly this.
</p>
<p>
So, every Friday evening from now on, I'll be writing stuff on <a href="http://www.last.fm/user/gregknicholson/journal/">my Last.fm journal</a>.
</p>
<p>
<ins datetime="2007-09-01T06:40Z">Since then, <a href="/thefridayfetchit">the Friday Fetch-it</a> has moved to Blogger and Roundtable has moved to Thursdays; I still do a Roundtable round-up on my Last.fm journal each week.</ins>
