It's hardly CVS, but the local family diner is playing tracks from the Portishead s/t album, and I'm finding it extremely incongruous.

New Order's "Age of Consent" at Whole Foods.
"Bizarre Love Triangle", I would have expected. Maybe even "Blue Monday", if they had the edgier Sirius station on. But "Age of Consent" brought a smile to my face.

Not obscure, but my Foodtown hit me with a stealth Michael McDonald three-fer last night:
Steely Dan - PegDoobie Brothers - What a Fool BelievesCarly Simon - You Belong to Me
Which makes me wonder once again where they get their music--no algorithm would have come up with that.

Once went to a restaurant where the playlist was weirdly similar to my wife's main playlist. We asked about how they chose the music and they told us they usually just choose a sing they like and then dial up the Spotify radio for that song. Maybe you encountered something similar.

Valid question. When I heard it, this thread was the first thing I thought of. Like, deep cut for 2019. Can't remember what came on next, but def was not thread-worthy.
