Heard Aztec Camera "Oblivious" while on hold with our local Petco to see if Miss V's food was in stock. With the price of gas, I got tired of driving over there to find out the shelf was bare...better to call for free and pester the kids that work there.

And I imagine they play 'The Sun and the Rainfall' after the weather?

Just heard the all-strings version of 'Hong Kong Garden' over the closing credits on an episode of Nova. I guess it would be stranger if they'd used the original version, but still surprising...

The Bangles on Dancing with the Stars earlier tonight. Okay, maybe not that surprising-- an '80s band cashing in on more scraping of the cultural barrel-- but at least disappointing.

ps I wasn't actually watching it-- the girlfriend had it on. OK?

This week [i]Bluebeard[/i] by Cocteau Twins played while I was eating breakfast at a Residence Inn in Southern California.
I thought that was very cool.

Digging this thread back up. My wife was shopping at H&M a little while back, and they played "Step Up" off Devo's latest album. I can't imagine that anyone in the store's target demographic had actually heard it before ...

I thought it was completely weird eating dinner in a restaurant and hear R.E.M. - (Don't Go Back To) Rockville. Pretty weird. Walk into Nordstrom the very next day and first song playing is R.E.M. - (Don't Go Back To) Rockville. What the Hell? Just seems like it could have been 10 other R.E.M. songs...

Lou Reed's "Perfect Day" performed by the contestants on the X-Factor tonight, a full-on tribute to him in fact. I guess it's for all the closet Velvets fans and/or smack-heads in the audience...?

Necro-ing again. Heard "After The Snow" by Modern English in an Old Navy in NYC. Only time I've heard any of their other songs in public.

The Burbank airport in California plays nothing but new wave music.

I was staying in the dorm of Hamburg University 6 years ago and one morning I saw a priest talking with some chinese students while I was going to shop for buying cereal for the breakfast. I had a Depeche Mode shirt on which I bought several years ago during a concert and when I was returning back the priest saw me and yelled like ''Depeche Mode! Cool!'' lol. I was shocked, a priest who likes Depeche Mode :D We had a little conversation there and he invited me to visit him in church one day. A week later I found him in his room in the church and as I enter the room I heard Modern Talking playing inside! It was one of the weirdest things I've ever witnessed in my life. I mean what next, Jesus and the Mary Chain concert in a chapel? :D After many years when I returned back in order to buy commercial real estate in Hamburg I found the priest and gave a Depeche Mode shirt as a gift. So far he is the coolest priest I've ever met :D
