The latest edition of FineTune Friday will be on Friday July 6. The theme this month is the Mr. Men children’s series (If this works out, we may use the Little Miss series in a later FineTune Friday, so steer away from them this time).

If you want in on the fun, get a free FineTune account, pick your character, and create a 45 song playlist from the FineTune library. On July 6, post your station to your site and we’ll cross link all the stations in a mad musical orgy.

Or something like that.

While I can’t say that I’d mind listening to five Miami Booty Bass themed Mr. Bump stations, we’re trying to make each station have a unique character. The only way to do this is to centralize the list. Because I’m not the king of the web, I know I can’t make you drop me a mail (you know… jon at the ol’ dyers dot org) or leave a comment to claim your character, but I’d sure appreciate it. All claimed characters will get crossed off this list so others know what’s available.

Even if you think the FineTune Friday seems like a dumb idea, give it a try. We add a couple more people to the roster every month, and at least one of them should be you. FineTune’s library is big enough that making playlists can can be fun if you’re only slightly into music, and downright addictive if you’re a music junkie. Would I steer you wrong?

Here are your character choices. I put some possible ideas after some of them to help get some of those creative juices flowing, but I know you can come up with better. Choose wisely, get creative, and drop me a mail letting me know who you’re taking. It’s on a first come, first served basis (Coolin out girl, take you to the def places, One of a kind and for your people’s delight, And for you sucker MC, you just ain’t right…)
