Songs You'd Never Expect To Hear When Entering A Place

**PassiveTheory** · 11-20-2007, 01:28 PM

Yeah, I just walked into my school's cafe, and they were playing "In The Aeroplane Over The Sea" by Neutral Milk Hotel on the boombox. Pretty righteous.

Also, like 2 months ago, they were playing "Fake Empire" by the National at the McDonalds I went to eat at during my job training lunch break... Weird.

Nice.

EDIT: 2 more till' 3K, Nipples. =D

i once figured out how to make it so our "muzak" style music system at our store would play normal cd's instead of the preprogrammed stuff that was sent. it was nice to walk into work at 6am, throw on dr. dre's "chronic" album and go take a couple tokes in the walk in freezer. we would even try to play it during business hours and just turn it down when customers would come in, but our slow reaction times got us in trouble more than once. oh to be young again...

February 2005 I'm in a tux shop in a mall in Jacksonville, FL and hear "Crown of Love". The FYE across from the store was playing Funeral. Badass.

**PassiveTheory** · 11-20-2007, 03:19 PM

Nice. The question I now reflect on is...Why in the world would McDonalds be playing a National song?... Perhaps a mix-up occurred and they thought it was a country western album?... It still boggles my mind to this day.

**amyzzz** · 11-20-2007, 03:43 PM

I heard DCFC at Home Depot once.

**betao** · 11-20-2007, 04:57 PM

my friend who works in what I believe is a Comp USA (not sure) heard, on their radio, "and I was a boy from school" by Hot Chip, a Flaming Lips song, and a Postal Service Song I think

Aphex Twin - Avril 14th

While paying my car insurance. The lady in the office was hearing NPR's morning edition. NPR use Aphex tracks quite often.

My local Longs Drugs has been playing both Tori Amos and PJ Harvey recently.

**samiksha** · 11-20-2007, 08:51 PM

we played music at the tanning salon where i used to work at and most of the time i worked alone and had control over the stereo. i think i played sigur ros the most.

**samiksha** · 11-20-2007, 09:04 PM

i really liked the job for that reason. it was fun playing DJ.

**roberto73** · 11-20-2007, 09:14 PM

Last week, during my 15-minute supermarket trip, I heard R.E.M.'s "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," XTC's "King for a Day," and Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" back to back to back. The fourth song? "Ice Ice Baby." There has to be an explanation.

**Boourns** · 11-20-2007, 09:31 PM

Was at Golden Corral (basically an east coast Hometown Buffet except not quite as horrible) back in February and while talking about Coachella, "Don't Dream It's Over" started playing.

**Benis23** · 11-20-2007, 10:43 PM

one night at the gym they decided to play only classic rock - bob dylan, zeppelin, creedence clearwater, crosby stills nash, cream, which caught me off guard

**SojuGorae** · 11-20-2007, 11:08 PM

In my case, it's been in reverse since I've lived in Korea.

There's a bar close to where I live, called, ahem, "Rock N' Roll Bar" but the one time I went, they played fucking Celine Dion and Destiny's Child.

Imagine at Dick Cheney's funeral.

**All That I Am** · 11-21-2007, 05:09 AM

At work i've been stupefied lately, I walked in and didn't at first recognize the song but when i realized i was jamming to it i was shocked to realize they were playing Jamie Lidell's The City. They started playing The National's Fake Empire like on the day that album was released. They've also been playing Tori Amos, i don't know the name of the song tho'. They played Drive by R.E.M., Crazy by Gnarls Barkley and Float on by Modest Mouse.
They're getting pretty hip for a grocery store.

I heard "Karma Police" at some Japanese-style fast food joint in Universal Citywalk in 2001 and 2005.

**sonofhal** · 11-21-2007, 06:46 AM

I was in a muffin shop in Welwyn Garden City today, and they played Lovers Spit followed by A Movie Script Ending. I nearly spilled my tea.

**Melanie.Dawn** · 11-21-2007, 07:04 AM

I went to Moxies for supper not to long ago, and they played yeah yeah yeahs, Broken Social Scene, Nirvana, Meligrove band and Queens. Just one song may have been nothing, but they were all in a row. I was so surpirsed.

That must have had a serious impact on your life... To remember where a Radiohead song was playing back in 2001?

**Boourns** · 11-21-2007, 07:39 AM

Well that was the summer I started really getting into Radiohead. We were in California on vacation and I was playing a poorly burned cd in the rental car nonstop.

**Alchemy** · 11-21-2007, 09:12 AM

When I worked at Marble Slab, I would put on a playlist of pure Coachella artists playing the festival the month before Coachella.

**J~$$$** · 11-21-2007, 09:37 AM

Driving down the street and seeing bugonurlips mom on the corner and hearing " feel like makin love" by bad company.

Iron Maidens "run to the hills" at the Indian gaming casino.
