As we prepare to migrate to our new site we bid adieu to “Today’s Tuneage,” a once-daily post which we later folded into our website’s pseudo-daily “wire” feature.

Yeah … we play things completely by ear around here. Sort of like our founding editor did back when he was a rock star.

Anyway, we’re closing out this particular section of FITS with The Pixies “Break My Body” off of the band’s first full-length album Surfer Rosa. Why did we choose this selection? Easy – it was the late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain’s favorite song.

For those of you nostalgic for “Today’s Tuneage” (all eight of you), relax. We’ll still be posting a favorite YouTube clip in our daily “wire.” So if you’ve got a song you want to hear, email us and we’ll be sure to get it plugged into the rotation. In the meantime, scroll down to see songs we’ve played in the past …
