It's certainly no Walgreens track

Had to make a quick stop at a WalMart Neighborhood Market last night, and was greeted by the jammy solo section of "Working Man" by Rush as I walked in. This was made more bizarre by the fact the other two songs I could I.D. afterward were Sam Smith and No Doubt.

i get my hair cut at great clips and in indianapolis that meant they played the pop radio station - pretty much the last place where i would actually hear chart pop. now that i'm in portland the great clips plays "because the night" and beck's "loser".

Kroger was playing the Tom Waits original of "Old '55" last weekend.

And nearly four years later, I heard it again in the soup aisle!
I mean, I hear the melody to that one or "Downtown Train" and automatically assume it's the more well-known cover.

The supermarkets usually don't play music around here. But I once visited one that played Imagination - Lights and music. This was obviously a great moment.

Or music and lights rather

I was out of the UK from 2002-2016 and, among the many changes, supermarkets stopped playing music. What I would give to hear a nice bit of muzak again.

I know I posted this on some thread somewhere, but it's always good for a re-up.

I am genuinely enjoying listening to this, thanks DP.

It's been the soundtrack to my workday a few times. It definitely creates a melancholy, gauzy memory of my youth (the tape hiss helps!)

I heard Radio Free Europe at Whole Foods last night.

I go to my supermarket as little as I can now because "Come Together," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Comfortably Numb," "Imagine," "Mrs. Robinson," and literally no more than a single 74-minute CD worth of songs that are on every-wedding-band-ever's shortlist have been on shuffle for two years and counting. If I had to work there I'd put corkscrews in my ears.

I was sat in the cafe in Sainsbury's, Didcot today and heard tracks by Talk Talk and Grizzly Bear.

I’m standing in the checkout line at Ralphs right now. They play mainstream vocal pop.
