Yankee, Hotel Foxtrot

[ascii]

Any Wilco fans here? Anyone else think the woman's voice that you hear over the loudspeakers in the beginning levels sounds like the woman at the end of Poor Places that repeats "Yankee, Hotel, Foxtrot"?

There's a point in the beginning where she gives an authorization code, and it sounds like that woman's voice almost exactly.

I wonder if anyone at Valve likes Wilco too...

Wilco??

Wilco, the band. They have an album named Yankee Hotel Foxtrot (not you). One of the songs (Poor Places) has a woman reciting "yankee, hotel, foxtrot" at the end. The woman in that recording sounds exactly like the woman's voice you hear over the loudspeakers in City 17.

Hot in the poor places tonight...
I'm not going outside

I'm thinking Jeff Tweedy and the boys probably got the voice sample from the same place Valve did.
