In Which I Share With You the Best Song that Played as I Grocery Shopped

Space wrote:
1/14 Whole Foods

Hendrix-All Along the Watchtower

these types of songs should be retired… they've been beaten to death… they are stale


is it a great version? yes but we have heard it so much


I'd rather they play Dylan's original… that is a shocker in its starkness

I don't listen to the radio and i don't own any Hendrix, so it's not that overdone to me. I'd also rather hear the Dylan original but of course they're going to go with the popular version at the grocery store..

Am surprised to read that… Hendrix's version is and has been everywhere for decades…but whatever, good for you


A lot of these classic rock songs are just so boring at this point… the songs that stand out at a grocery store are the more modern ones… when i go to a grocery store and i hear something from the 80s on I am pleased….

I was in Giant about a week ago and they played a song that was way too indie for the people shopping at the time. I could even catch any of the words to the song to look it up. If I had the guess, I would have guessed Built To Spill. After hearing them on the radio just now, I'm slightly more sure it was them….

What a great night in the burbs for hitting he Giant and getting buttermilk for the morning pancakes.

The Cars-Just What I Needed
Elvis C.-Allison

2/9 A little weird that i go to the Drive By Truckers and hear them cover Sign of the Times and the next afternoon Giant plays Starfish and Coffee off of the same album.

Edit: Whole Foods, not Giant.

I think it was more like a reinterpretation than a cover, and it was inserted as part of a song…they've done this with other songs.

Giant hitting the Franz Ferdinand hard this week.

2/21: Take Me Out
2/23: Do You Want To

but the winner for the week:

2/23 Petty, The Waiting

Ugh.,,,tAke me out beats the waiting

Shoppers Glenmont
Praise You - FBS

2/27 Giant

A repeat of a previous play, but a song I love by a band I miss.

Camera Obscura-Lloyd I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken

3/10 Giant

*Blondie: Heart of Glass
Duran Duran: Union of the Snake

*This was my kid's pick. She even knew the name of the song. She's learnin'.

while waiting at the FedEx facility in Rockville last night to retrieve a package; no staph anywhere….Simple Minds, "Don't You (Forget About Me)" on the PA system.

Been falling down on the job on this thread.

About a week ago at Giant:

The Knack- My Sharona
Courtney Barnett-Nobody Really Cares If You Don’t Go to the Party

Yesterday at Whole Foods:

The Housemartins-Happy Hour (it was actually after happy hour)

Today- Giant

J Geils-Freeze Frame
Kim Wild- Kids in America

4/2 Giant (my dog needed dog food)

Siouxie and the Banshees-Hong Kong Garden (1978)

Deep cutting with that one for sure.

What a great track…early Siouxsie is killer

Courtney Barnett at Giant? woah.
