A conversation with Andrew
Nov 8th

Barbra = unShazammable
Overheard in the car tonight:
Me: “Hey, Andrew, I saw this really cool program for phones called ‘Shazam.’ You let your phone ‘listen’ to a song, analyze it, and then it instantly tells you the name of the song and who sings it, and lets you buy the track instantly. Pretty cool, huh?”
Andrew: “That’s pretty cool.”
Me: “I was in a bathroom once at a restaurant, and I tried it [on my previous Windows Mobile phone]. I heard this really cool song, and it identified it instantly.”
Andrew: “So, if you just hold it up to the sound of a toilet flushing, does it come back and say it’s Barbra Streisand?”
