You can tell it's the Friday evening before a Bank Holiday weekend because the supermarket was rowdy and full of teenagers, including one 14 year old lad riding a bicycle down the aisle until I eyeballed him and then he was just wheeling it down the aisle. Soundtrack: Belinda Carlisle's 'Live Your Life Be Free' at even louder volume than normal.

Surprised this morning to hear a deep track, "I Dream of Sleep", from last year's Sloan album. I guess it would have been more surprising if I were not in Canada.

This kind of downbeat selection of Christmas tunes in a shopping centre:

Wings - 'Mull Of Kintyre'
Wham! - 'Last Christmas'
Alexandra Burke (UK X Factor 2008 winner) - 'Hallelujah'

This is an unlikely one. "Aren't You Glad", from "The Family That Plays Together" by Spirit, in an extremely un-hipsterish pub in Paisley. Also it's literally the only music that's
been played.

Day off work so I was in town - in particular eating lunch in a McDonald's in a shopping centre - and heard this startling selection back to back:

Madonna, 'Vogue'
Kate Nash, 'Foundations'
Robin S, 'Show Me Love'
Elle King, 'Ex's & Oh's'
Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, 'Uptown Funk'
