Steve Reich (via last.fm)

• Someone was searching today for "robert gable nudes." This in turn alerted me that someone had defaced my quite serious Memorial Day 2006 post with a comment about various undressed celebrities. I'm normally good-natured about spam but this was annoying.
• I thought I heard Steve Reich's Music for 18 Musicians (lala) playing in Starbucks today although the place was quite loud and I wasn't sure. Also, the balance on my Starbucks gift card was 20 cents less than I needed.
• I'm disappointed I didn't notice today's earthquake (sfist).
• For better or worse, Green Day will do a musical at Berkeley Repertory Theatre. (SF Chronicle via artsJournal)
• TechCrunch has a video of lala's future iPhone client.
• Favorite recent NetFlix instant play: Kinamand -- a Danish/Chinese film.
• Favorite track from Phil Kline's John the Revelator: lala.
• Favorite track from the Marin Alsop recording of Mark O'Connor's Americana Symphony: lala
