Notes:
Once again, even through over 100 songs, there were not a lot of covers & alternate versions to speak of from Friday.  I did get through the N's, and six tracks were "NPG Operator" from Prince's Gold Experience.  Total track time on all of those were a whopping 2:16.  Album filler is interesting when not in the context of the album it was meant for.
I hit song #7,000 on Friday, which was a bit of an oddball, "A Nugget of Joy from Zorak" from Space Ghost's Musical Bar-B-Que.
Here are my favorites from Friday, with the N statistics to follow later today:
