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.

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.

Iā€™m standing in the checkout line at Ralphs right now. They play mainstream vocal pop.

Today we had "Within You Without You" and I was so pleasantly shocked
