Hearing Unexpected Music In Unexpected Places!

[Owd Codger]

Ha ha..good tune too.

[Davebanks]

slightly veering off topic............had to have a brain scan in hospital....as they keep you in the chamber for 30 mins and you have to keep still you can take a CD in, they play it for you in the chamber.

Bit of a mistake......as  minutes into my northern soul compilation comes a voice over the chamber speakers ...."can you keep your feet still..its making your head move"

Its the Spotify lists, amazing how varied some peoples tastes are, unless in places like Tesco, where I've heard Terry Callier, its marketing aimed at the over 50s which a bulk of us are, who are especially in these times, wealthier.

In a bar/cafe in Stavanger, Norway. Last stop on the cruise Terry Callier Ordinary Joe comes on. Mind blown! And PP Arnold was the entertainment on board the ship.

I Kid you not , Kidderminster Morrisons last night " Bobby Hebb- Love Love Love" and  "James Barnett- Keep on Talking " in between the pop music , a pleasant surprise 

[Happy Feet]

Now even Dunelm are at it ," Darrell Banks , Our Love Is In The Pocket " , shopping in Kidderminster is becoming a tonic 

[Britishbarry]

The other day in Morris ons I heard The Impressions - It's alright.

Last night in a hotel's Restaurant just outside of Stirling:

Lots of Northern classics, original versions and obvious rerecordings.

Maybe not that unusual to any British. But didn't expect it. Nice way for the missus and me to kick off a two weeks holiday in Scotland. Kids didn't like it though

[Douglaschip]

Well Co-op in Chippenham across the road from my house now has Northern playlist going - bought my milk today to Wally Cox - This Man - bit surreal to be quite honest!

Marks and Spencers 2024 Christmas ad.

 

 

[Happy Feet]

Grand Slam of darts , tonight finished with , Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up , Sky Sports 

[The Yank]

Wasn't expecting this when the Walmart ad started -

Watched a film " fly me to the moon " newish release Movie based on moon landing and these young astronauts and staff stood outside an air hanger dancing to Frank Wilson on the radio. Strange to pick an unrealised record when so many timeless records that they could of played from that year. Just my opinion for what it's worth

Her previously unreleased songs seem to be popular in movie soundtracks. In the 2016 film "War on everyone" starring Alexander Skarsgard & Michael Pena in one scene Chris Clark Somethings Wrong is playing.

Heard 'Inspirations - Your Wish Is My Command' in B&Q last weekend, the unexpected thing was I'd heard it a week before in the same store!
