I think it's a natural human tendency to always be seeking connections between people/things/ideas and the interrelatedness of the universe. It makes us feel more deeply immersed in the sticky soup of communal existence. Whoa....that sounds soooo new agey. So, is this the musical equivalent of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon?

Must rate "cute" before and after the consumption of the coffee. In a semi-awake state, damn near anything can seem attractive. Usually this condition is related to beer. Needs further study.

Have you done that? Perhaps I should search your blog archives... And what's that abour Luigi Nono?

And why not? I think that it’s barista with both guys and gals and those somewhere in between or not on that spectrum:

I'm very excited. Must find a way to get to Albuquerque. There's two notes or so in the 3rd mvmt of the Brahms violin concerto that reminded me of "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" the first few times I heard it. Not so much anymore thankfully. Saw your boy Josh in Napa last night. Good stuff. Though the conductor was crazy to watch. He seemed to dance more than lead. A combination of voguing and "white-boy dancing". As for the baristas, it's the age-old marketing ploy. Cute girls (are guys baristas too? Are you saying the guys are cute also?) to sell anything. Cars... Beer... Legal addictive stimulants...
