Rachael Yamagata

Rachael Yamagata will be playing at the newly reopened Crocodile Cafe on March 31st. I really recommend going. Mel and I saw Rachael play last year at the Chop Suey. Despite what was clearly a debilitating flu, she put on an excellent show. I can only imagine she performs better when healthy. Mel and I will be there.

It seems like Seattle clubs get some kind of absurd advantage in Google search rankings. If you search for "crocodile," the club gets the second spot. Searching for "chop suey" gives the club the first position. For that matter, searching for "stranger" gives the top spot to our local alternative newspaper, well ahead of the somewhat more relevant book by Camus.

I believe they've started geographically targeting their search results based on your location (IP address). I've noticed the same thing, but I also wonder if it keeps a history of likely searches from your computer, also- a lot of times when I type in stuff from C-U, like Lincoln Square or something semi-generic, I'll get the C-U result first, which is nice since it's usually the one I'm looking for.

I'm not so sure. I just did the same queries from a Bay area computer, not logged in, no cookies, etc. and got the same results. Perhaps the Bay is too close to Seattle?

Hmm! That is odd. Well maybe my theory is just bunk then. Hmm.
