droid_rage's Journal: I am an American aquarium drinker

Ahhhhh, Wilco. If you haven't heard Yankee Hotel Foxtrot yet, you really, really need to. It's just about the greatest album ever, after OK Computer. The album's name comes from a shortwave transmission recording from The CONET Project. There's a sound sample at the end of track 10, "Poor Places". The clip is just so great that I had to find it. After much searching, I found the entire 4-disc set of recordings available on MP3 right here.

The Yankee Hotel Foxtrot clip is just called "phonetic alphabet nato", so it took me a while to find.
So, why would I care? I spent several hours avoiding homework to find this because I was just getting bored of my old voice mail notification and needed a change. After a little cleanup, it sounds great, and colleague and co-worker alike wonder what the heck that noise is. :-)
