Oh Lord, Won't You Download Some Mercedes-Benz?!
Monz nurses his cold with some hot sour soup from Kong's. Which reminds us, Dude, the EIC's mom wanted to know if Kong's is in the basement or something like that (friends of the EIC know that she hails from nearby North Chicago and used to go to downtown 'Gan all the time). Back to lunch: small chicken fried rice and an ultrarare order of small chicken chop suey. Then back to designing the new firm invoices!
Meanwhile, recently the music editor delivered to the Monz a copy of their annual mixed CD (which was an annual mixed tape from 1983-1999). Coincidently or not, we've been asked how the editor makes his selections and "where does he find those songs?!" Welp, the M.E. doesn't want to spill all his secrets (Dude, no, that's not an oblique reference to "The Secret" -- readers, we'll explain later), but as a sample of what passes across his ears, lately a fellow music lover was ranting about a Mixed "Tape" which Mercedes-Benz makes available for downloading. No kidding, apparently they have hired someone or someones to listen to tons of submissions and off-the-radar stuff in a variety of genres. We are informed they are quite good and carry an as-of-this-moment hip cache, though we have not confirmed this for ourselves. Said hip cache can only be enhanced by the fact that they only keep them up for about two months before replacing them. In the munificent Monz spirit, we invite anyone interested to hear for themselves.
