Saturday is the new Friday (but you know this!)

When I was in high school and college, Friday night was the social night. Plans were made for later that night, movies opened, girls were asked out day of (less time to be nerve-wracked), the natural inertia of being around people kept me social until late. Now that I'm older and work an office job, Friday night is typically a write-off. I'm just too exhausted to really get it going. Now, a full night's sleep behind me, it's all about Saturday night.

Age has given me an appreciation of Bruce Springsteen, too. When I was younger he just seemed sweaty and raspy and way too patriotic. Now, though, I've begun to feel it.

So how awesome is it that Jason Anderson (ex-Wolf Colonel) rolled the best night of the week and a love of the Boss into a rollicking 3-minute anthem to fun for the older set.

Jason Anderson, "Saturday Night"

"Tonight" is a great album; it's basically the sound of good times. A little too Springsteen-y? Maybe, but this knockoff is way more entertaining than anything Win Butler did this year.

PS - Mark my words: 2008 is the year that the saxophone completes its rock instrumentation comeback.

PPS - This was my Plan B.
