Reasons to Love Memphis #44: The Peculiar Charm of Hot 107
Reasons to Love Memphis #44: The Peculiar Charm of Hot 107
Don't tell WEVL, but lately, the radio in my car has been tuned to my other favorite Memphis station, Hot 107.1.
I can't help it - Memphis' favorite hip hop station makes me happy. Occasionally, it makes me attempt to teach myself how to Dougie at stoplights.
The station has a particular charm. They play what seems like the same seven-song rotation every hour or so, occasionally pausing to throw in an old school eighth-grade-dance classic. Hot 107 plays some songs that I'm convinced don't exist anywhere outside of Hot 107.
Plus, they were responsible for the most awesome PSA ever, Sir Vince's "Swine Flu".
Every time I look over in traffic and see someone busting the same moves as I am in the driver's seat, I can't help but feel connected by the fact that we're probably listening to the same song. A song that's playing, most likely, on Hot 107.
