Strangest places you have heard songs.

[Kiki]

Sometimes you may have to get off the computer and go outside to the place where there is no BEA. In these times you may find yourself in buldings and places which play music. Sometimes the music is nothing out of the ordinary. I mean fancy food places with expensive things on the menus play light jazz and calm relaxing music. A record store may play an old David Bowie or Captain Beefheart record while at work you may have a radio tuned to some easy going radio station like Smooth Fm or what ever they are calling BRMB now.

Sometimes you may hear a song which feels like a total unexpected choice for the place you are in. I mean the supermarket could be playing something which would of fat perfectly on The Poe's chart or a dance club could make a very left field or dangerous choice when they could have easily stuck to Get Lucky or Blurred Lines.

So places you have heard songs being played which you would never have expected to hear there or struck you as particually rare. The unexpected song choices.

Also don't include songs you are playing or listening to on a phone, Mp3, Ipod. It will make it far too easy.

Some of mine:

- 'We Are Young' by fun. playing in Forever 21
- 'Slash N Burn' by Manic Street Preaches in now defunct HMV
- 'Sleeping Satellite' by Tasmin Archer in a Co-op Express.
- 'The Message' by Grandmaster Flash while eating at a Sizzler pub.

Was having a dinner date with my girlfriend at a lovely local country pub who I had to interrupt without apology - to her bemusement - as Venus In Furs was heard from afar in the next room. Quality. Safe to say she didn't quite get the appeal of it all.

Went on holiday to Florida and as soon as I walked into our hotel I hear Tom Jones. Can't escape the guy.

I had a friend recommend me a dubstep album he'd heard while browsing a toy shop.

Once upon a time, my dad shared with me the story of a law firm whose hold music was "Danger Zone" by Kenny Rogers. I didn't believe him so we called them. Yup. It was.

Things I Make

Got to be when I heard The Slits version of I Heard It Through The Grapevine in a branch of Superdry (that's a trendy but now a little bit passé clothes store for teens and twenty somethings for any non-UK readers, like an Abercrombie and Fitch without the half-naked models by the door).

Either that, or when I was about to have an MRI scan and I heard Dying For It by The Vaselines, which I thought the machine's operator was playing. Turns out as I was whacked out on morphine (I had meningitis) that this was just my brain playing tricks. Would have been cool as fuck if it were true, but the NHS don't tend to promote indie-pop as much as they should.

I was once at this university sports bar and they played In the Aeroplane Over the Sea in its entirety. It was very weird. I was looking for the dj but it didnt seem like they had one. I guess someone just put in the cd and went with it haha who knows
