google it.

i know it annoys some people to no end, but i truly love using the word google as a verb. i think my affinity for it can be traced back to my first encounter with it, an episode of ed in which ed follows a particularly successful... ahem... "biblical knowing" with the phrase "i googled how to satisfy your woman." i can certainly understand how some people would loathe this usage, as i am generally vocally on the bandwagon of hating internet-speak, but this is one case in which i swing the other way. plus, i get special joy out of calling myself a good "googlizer" the way that derek zoolander says he's a bad "eugooglizer."

it´s me, Maik from Kassel, Germany,
I sent you the Maxi Hecker links,
when you ran the radio..

Sorry didn´t find an email address to send this to
(of course I tried)

hope you´re fine!

I just found a great website
I wanted to point you to, in case
you don´t know it yet.

http://www.pandora.com

is a project where they analyzed thousands of songs
concerning dozens of musical attributes
to give a collection of similar music you might like.

You can try it for free for 10 hours or so...
then you can pay like 35 $ for a year to get
a radiostation-like programm from your input.

I didn´t subcribed, yet
I had my doubts, BUT
it really makes the impression that it is
actually working quite well. Also funny from time to time ;)
You might want to check it out!

Take care,
best wishes,
Maik

PS: Did you hear the "Goldspot -Tally of the Yesmen", or the new Nada Surf and the new Death Cab For Cutie ? GREAT GREAT GREAT
