My cute STRAIGHT hairdresser in SF: So what kind of music do you listen to?
Me: Right now I'm really into Toto...
Him: [...]
Me: It's on heavy rotation on my Pandora Seals and Croft station.
Him: [...]
Me: I have the road rage. Shitty music makes the drive a lot less awful.
Him: How does PANDORA fit in with Seals and Croft?
Me: Pandora, the music streaming app. Not the band.
Him: Ohhhhh. That makes a lot more sense.
