FineTune FineTune FineTune FineTune. It’s fine. It’s Tune. It’s FineTune.

The point of the FineTune Friday is twofold:
1. Music nerds and clever people get to show off how clever they are by creating FineTune stations that revolve around a theme.

2. People who take part are joining a little monthly club with extremely low requirements. They’re joining in, and allowing other people to get to know them a little bit, not by what they say, but by what they like to listen to. They’re sharing music with each other legally and for free.

Can you dig it?

I’m missing the point of the Finetune thingie. First…the name always escapes me even though it is right in front of my face. What do you want. A list of really bad music? Is this to be funny? I saw the guy with Burl Ives and I’m like uhhhh whoa that some strange stuff….someone must have had some naked photos of him to get him to sing that song about a frog…and a mouse…..and I’m confused.

We go to Chatham and turn around.

I actually prefer the noise and traffic at the expense of the scenery. I like the touristy nature of yelling “GO CARTS!” and “TRAMPOLINES!” as we pass each of the 500 tourist traps. It’s especially amusing with a mouth full of taffy, which can’t be had on 6A.

How far down 28 did you get? It’s nicer once you get to the lower Cape, like Wellfleet and Truro. I don’t much care for the busy sections of the “upper” Cape - unless, of course you are looking to ride go-carts or play mini-golf. For a drive, I prefer 6A because I find it much more scenic.

Hey thanks! Glad to have you join in. The themes are pretty easy to customize to your tastes, and it’s supposed to be fun and not a chore.

I haven’t done anything with Finetune before, but after seeing that most people dropped out of the running after you had them marked down, I’m gonna try my darndest to participate in the next one.

It will definitely be a challenge to pick the songs - as I listen to the music I like and don’t really deviate from it that much. But we’ll see.
