Members Smart Alec Posted September 26, 2007 Members Share Posted September 26, 2007 kudos to the Hitchcock's supermarket in Hawthorne, Florida. They always have neat music playing on their PA. Yesterday while I was shopping I heard "She's about a Mover" by the Sir Douglas Quintet, "I feel good" by James Brown, "So you want to be a rock and roll star" by the Byrds and--much to my surprise--"One Track Mind" by the Knickerbockers (of "Lies" fame). That last one is pretty obscure. They always play stuff like that. What's weird is it's a pretty rural crowd they cater to--stuff on their shelves like hog jowels and pigs feet but they sure do play cool music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UstadKhanAli Posted September 26, 2007 Members Share Posted September 26, 2007 There's an airport that actually plays Brian Eno's "Music For Airports"...can't remember which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted September 26, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 26, 2007 I'm always surprised how cool my local Home Depot is. Rasberries, Crash Test Dummies, early Elton, Badfinger. I'll be picking up a 2 x 4 and stop and think... "Is that Stealer's Wheel?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rasputin1963 Posted September 26, 2007 Members Share Posted September 26, 2007 The Dollar Tree in Boerne, Texas. VERY humble store aimed at a rural Texas clientele. Also plays rare Oldies. I could've flipped when I heard "Concrete and Clay" by Unit 4 + 2, "Don't Say You Don't Remember" by Beverly Bremers, and "I've Been Hurt" by Bill Deal & The Rhondells. :phil: ras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blue2blue Posted September 26, 2007 Members Share Posted September 26, 2007 The coffee shop I'm sitting in has had a mix of Miles Davis and Blossom Dearie on for the past hour or so. From my perspective, it don't get much cooler than that. Happily, the bone-through-the-nose crowd is amazingly tolerant... long as you don't play any Nickleback or James Blunt.

Members blue2blue Posted September 27, 2007 Members Share Posted September 27, 2007 Pirates of the Carribean ride, Disneyland theme park, Buena Park CA. Can't believe I didn't catch this earlier, though... Disneyland is in the fabulous urban paradise of Anaheim, CA. I think you were conflating locations with that of the also-fabulous Knott's Berry Farm and Ghost Town (home of the original Boysenberry). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Knott's is definitely in Buena Park, and Disneyland is definitely in Anaheim - and I'm a SoCa native who should know the difference. Chock it up to a brain fart from a semi-depressed brain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Lee Knight Posted September 27, 2007 Moderators Share Posted September 27, 2007 Pirates of the Carribean ride, Disneyland theme park, Buena Park CA. The first time I rode Pirates as a kid, right after it opened, I had to find out what instrument was playing as you leave the ride, your final assent up the last ramp. Bass Clarinet. I love that last, moody spooky tune. And speaking of Disney rides being a source for cool background music... I know Danny Elfman is heavily influenced by Bernard Herrman, but I think he must have rode The Haunted Mansion many times as a kid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zooey Posted September 28, 2007 Members Share Posted September 28, 2007 Pirates of the Carribean ride, Disneyland theme park Don't forget the Haunted Mansion ("Grim Grinning Ghosts" is the theme song, I believe). I read somewhere that Disneyland ride music was a massive influence on Danny Elfman. I think it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
