Since I don’t have any guests on this week’s show so I guess I’ll take this opportunity to ramble.
Today my friend Sandi and I were out driving to go grab a bite to eat. While we were waiting at a stop light a SUV pulled up next to us and playing some bass thumpingly track. It’s not the sort of thing I ordinarily enjoy but I liked it. I think I said those very words to Sandi.
“Who do you think it is?” she asked.
I pulled out my phone, flicked through a few screens and activated Shazam. Just as I stuck my phone out the window the SUV sped away. I think Shazam only heard three seconds of whatever the SUV was playing and within seconds I had my answer: it was Foz Tee‘s “Shakin’ It for Daddy” featuring Nicki Minaj and Robin Thicke. I clicked the button to buy the track from iTunes and in a minute or two it was on my eager little phone.
Think about that for a moment.
I just stuck my hand out the window, heard a fragment of a song and a few minutes later we’re listening to it on our car. And we take that sort of thing for granted. That’s amazing! It’s almost magical. I can’t believe I live in a world where something like that is not only possible, but mundane.
That’s all I got.
Come back and join us again next week when we’ll have two, count ’em, two live sets by Polyfuse and NVR-NDR. Hopefully I’ll have something more coherent to say by then.
Until then, enjoy today’s show!
