Yeah, I've heard such gimmickry many many times. Just never on a college radio station. One more sad piece of evidence of the decline of WUTK? How bad can it get? Stay tuned... (just not right now...)

Anyway, even if they were going to do something that lame, why couldn't they at least play a decent song? Some possibilities, in keeping with the "Torch" theme:
"Dig for Fire" -- The Pixies
"Heatwave" -- Martha and the Vandellas (or the Who, or the Jam)
"Fire in the Hole" -- Method Man and Redman
"I'm on Fire" -- Bruce Springsteen
"Hot in the City" -- Billy Idol
"Ring of Fire" -- Johnny Cash
"Fields of Fire" -- Big Country
"Fire" -- Crazy World of Arthur Brown
"Fire" -- Ohio Players
"Fire" -- Prodigy
"Fire" -- Pointer Sisters
"My Old Flame" -- Spike Jones and his City Slickers
"Burn Hollywood Burn" -- Public Enemy
"Torch" -- Soft Cell
"Burning Down the House" -- Talking Heads

I'm sure there's lots more. Oh well. I guess dropping the "New
Rock" tag is at least honest, considering that it sounds like we'll mostly be getting warmed over, reheated, twice baked potatoes from now on.
