starbucks is one of life’s weird musical vortexes.  usually, they have pretty decent music playing but it hardly ever reaches a level where the song penetrates the “glass wall of starbucks denial.”  i call it that because i can’t help but feel slighted about what i’m listening to.  i don’t want to acknowledge it as pure art or admit to a friend that i really like it.  deep down, we both know it’s all part of one big selling machine.

but hey, this is good.
