merlin:

New outgoing message.

this is pretty good.

i give out my GOOG voice # in most public situations. unless you are a good friend/family member/colleague, then you get my real #s.

it’s always fun knowing that people are probably spooked by the fact that when they’re trying to call me, they get some monolithic robot trying to direct their call.

Yves Montand - Rue St. Vincent

Kanye feat. Common, “Get’ Em High (A Trak Remix)”

I like this song for ‘09.

Corcovado (Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars) -Astrud Guilberto (eng vocals), AC Jobim (port lyrics, composer), Stan Getz (sax), João Gilberto (guitar)

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.
