My New York Sports Clubs branch has finally improved its music. This week, they've put on KTU--a reasonable blend of dance and pop, ideal for working out.

For a number of years, NYSC played music from the ClubCom network. This network was presumably dedicated to gym music programming, but somehow the selections were awful. The worst moment had to be when "Dust in the Wind" came through the speaker system. Forget whatever momentum you had to do that tricep extension just one more time--it instantly melted in a sea of melancholy guitar.

The puzzling thing was how idiotic this was. Someone at ClubCom put "Dust in the Wind" in a gym music mix. Bad day?

Anyway, it all seems fine now--at least I'm hoping.
