revelations!
Two important thoughts to share:
- On the drive to work today, my coworker Sean and I happened across a radiostation that was stuck playing the same two bars of the bridge from the Ghostbusters theme over and over again. You know, the part with the wah-wahed synths right before the key change. We clocked this for ten minutes, when an appropriately weary-sounding dj finally came on, identified the station as college radio and explained that they would keep playing the loop until they met their call-in donation goal. Then they went back to playing it, with occasional bursts of found noise mixed in. It's now 6:54pm, we're back in the car, and Ray Parker Jr. Is still going strong. I think this is genius.
- I used to think Catherine's IM name, pablohoney, was about the best screen name a girl could have. But now I've suddenly realized that that distinction belongs to ThundercatsHo, whoever she is
UPDATE: the dj came back, and says they're giving away gamecubes, GBAs, a turntable and modest mouse on vinyl as prizes. If I were cool enough to listen to modest mouse I would totally be in love with the lady dj right now. Wait, she just said she enjoys playing mariokart: doubledash. Sorry Catherine, that did it.
UPDATE 2: now they're looping the opening riff and plucked notes from "jeremy". Again I say: malevolent genius.
