You guys have been to the Big Hunt one too many a time, I see. Joy Division>>>>>>>>Radiohead which usually follows JD in there. There are several that are acceptable in a bar, it's just that everyone who plays them seems to be stuck on Atmosphere or She's Lost Control and it's like HELLO I AM TRYING TO GET MY DRINK ON. That's when I go ahead and "make mine first" in that joint FYI, try it sometime you two.

anyone who puts on rick astley in a bar four times in a row is a bro (645 new answers, last at 11:36 am)

Apparently they do not enjoy happiness at all, at least not at the Big Hunt. The best is when some asshole plays JD->Radiohead->Coldplay->later Bjork. WTF is wrong with you? Go home and kill yourself already! You're ruining my happy hour! Do you not see the key word in the phrase "happy hour"!!

OK I will admit that one time I went into an Irish dive around the corner from my home in NYC with (CONTROVERSIAL MODERATOR EDIT OF ILXOR NAME HERE) and we discovered that their jukebox, which was otherwise entirely stocked with Bruce Springsteen and Pogues CDs, contained the Macarena Mega Mix CD, which we played the entirety of and then ditched out.

Have you guys never heard of crying in your beer? In my day, it was going to old man bars and weeping along with Patsy Cline. What's the difference?

― The Long Grey And Overcast Tea Time Of The Soul (kate), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

I once programmed the following sequence at a super-yuppie bar with an INTERNETS jukebox:

Tricky - "Overcome"
Ministry - "Thieves"
The Cure - "Homesick"
Bjork - "Enjoy"
The Smiths - "Well I Wonder"

The bar staff turned it down halfway through "Thieves". RESULT

Jeff-PTTL often relays a story of how he put "Mmmm Bop" on at a bar, which the bartenders then proceeded to turn off immediately -- but he had to wonder (and so do I): Why have the fucking song on your jukebox at all, then? I mean, it's not an Internet jukebox. Someone chose those CDs.

I do love the Internet jukeboxes, though, and playing shit like "Informer."

Search "wyatting" which was discussed in brief on I think the very long A. Petridis thread of 2006

― Feargal Hixxy (DJ Mencap), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, if it is an actual regular old jukebox then they have no right to be turning shit off. Unless they want to give you back your money. Actually even if it is an internet jukebox they have no right. A guy at the bar around the corner from my current house actually got fired for doing shit like that! He was a douchepatrol anyway though, so I was pretty pleased.

This is not a lie: I've played both parts of "Out There Somewhere" on jukeboxes before.

― The Android Cat (Dan Perry), Friday, 12 January 2007 16:57 (nineteen years ago)

Tricky - "Overcome"

this would have been awesome to hear!

last jukebox i did, i was driven by an unrelenting sequence of stone roses and stuff which sounded like them to programme in about £5 worth of supremes/ella fitzgerald/marvelettes/christina milian.

One time Pete wouldn't shut up about how he knew that Tom was going to force him to listen to Underworld (NB the scenario he was going on about had actually never happened before even once) if Tom went to the jukebox so Tom promised NO UNDERWORLD and proceeded to play the Orb. That was douchey.

Our NYE music was a typical cover band that took every KROQ hit of the 80s and some of the nineties and made them a midrange plod. They also dressed like the Strokes after a car accident, which seems appropriate.

The worst thing I ever did to a pub full of people was very late in the evening on Pete Baran's birthday, when I went to the jukebox and put on six songs chosen SOLELY because I knew they would make Pete sing very loudly in his paedophile voice. It worked.

There is a bar here where I eventually began earning free beers because I was apparently the only one who would play Morphine on the jukebox - which happened to be the bar owner's favorite band.

the entire man's ruin catalog

the Macarena Mega Mix CD, which we played the entirety of and then ditched out.

guilty.

"oh sweet nothin" came on and everyone started singing the coda to "Hey Jude" over it.

guilty.

my jukebox staple: CCR - Heard It Through The Grapevine. I can put it on first and when i'm done making other selections its not even halfway though- the guitar solo doesn't start until after i have my next beer in hand. i'm pretty sure to hold a jukebox operator's liscence in most metropolitan areas you have to guarantee CCR's greatest hits will be available at all times.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:39 (nineteen years ago)

most of the jukeboxes here are 50% hawaiian music which i am slowly learning, but after a few drinks its pretty much a shot in the dark.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:40 (nineteen years ago)

that sounds awesome

― a_p (a_p), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:41 (nineteen years ago)

jukeboxes here are 0% hawaiian music

― a_p (a_p), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

it often results in grave consequences.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:43 (nineteen years ago)

I want a jukebox with only Hawaiian music and those songs in Waffle House jukeboxes that are about Waffle House.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

And Joy Division, of course, for the queer gays.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

acid waffle house

― cheesesteak and shake (dubplatestyle), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:46 (nineteen years ago)

jukeboxes here are 11% joy division, 28% irish drinking songs, 1% Macarena, 48% Friends in Low Places, 6% Rolling Stones/Doors/Beatles, 4% Sister Ray, 2% "other"

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Friday, 12 January 2007 21:48 (nineteen years ago)

replace the joy division with misfits and that looks pretty good to me.

the other good thing about my old bar was watching the secretary's pool from the local office park get down to "candy shop" on a weekly basis

After driving around Houston,TX looking for a bar where we could have a beer, I had an expired drivers license; we found one that was having a poker tournament. They had this juke box where you could download songs to play. Without giving a second thought I played 'Caravan Of Love' by Isley Jasper Isley. By the time the chorus came, my friend and I noticed everyone was looking at us. The place was quiet except the music. I heard someone ask,"Who played this shit." A Beer came flying in our direction. And a group of guys came walking towards us, one had a Metallica shirt on. We didn't wait to see what they wanted. Everyone was sreaming at us. We ran out and drove away as quickly as possible. It was actually scarry. I still love the song, but I never listen to it the same now.

― Jacob Sanders (LolVStein), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:21 (nineteen years ago)

no "other" = E-Pro

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:26 (nineteen years ago)

I never listen to it the same now

Do you play it on a slower speed now?

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:27 (nineteen years ago)

Satallite of Love would have been a better selection.

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:35 (nineteen years ago)

Hmmm yeah it's like 1% rick astley, 1% other at this rate.

― AllyzayEisenschefterBDawkinsFlyingSquirrelRomoCrying.jpg (allyzay), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:38 (nineteen years ago)

is there seriously that little CCR in NYC jukeboxes? is CCR included in stones/doors/beatles 4%?

― jambalaya backgammon (grady), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:40 (nineteen years ago)

I would put on Joy Division in a bar, but none of the bars that I frequent seem to have any.

Does this mean that I'm a repressed queer?

― Stewart Osborne (Stewart Osborne), Friday, 12 January 2007 22:57 (nineteen years ago)

My go-to playlist whenever I encounter an internet jukebox:

Tom Waits "I Can't Wait To Get Off Work"
Iggy Pop "Nightclubbing"
Roxy Music "In Every Dream Home A Heartache"
David Bowie "Cracked Actor"
Spiritualized "Medication"
The Church "Ripple"

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Saturday, 13 January 2007 00:26 (nineteen years ago)

One of the places I go to has a jukebox that's 25% AC/DC, 25% Shaggy, 25% Commodores, and 25% David Allen Cole. With one of those Now That's What I Call Music Cds thrown in there somewhere.

Anyway. Never a dull moment anticipating segues.

(And not to sound completely provincial, but I have yet to see one of these internet jukeboxes.)

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Saturday, 13 January 2007 00:41 (nineteen years ago)

haha I first encountered the internet jukebox in the midst of a very boring week in Hartford, CT, I was depressed because back in my hometown Fishbone was playing...I played so much of it that night! I love that even people who've never heard "Ugly" before know the words.

― baron kickass von awesomehausen (nickalicious), Saturday, 13 January 2007 01:29 (nineteen years ago)

I worked in a place that had the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack - whenever I got pissed off, I'd put the 1920s chain gang field recording on for 15 straight plays.

― milo z (mlp), Saturday, 13 January 2007 01:53 (nineteen years ago)

not about music:
but i had a strange experience tonight. Went down to the Pub/Pizza in my suburb for a pizza and a beer before my night out; a really small suburb in stockholm: Stureby. At a opposite table: some men who who stacked their powertools on the floor for a afterwork beer, some drunks complaining about the jailtime they did in the eighties, and (to my surprise) - a gay couple on fire! Gay Man: - I like sucking Cock. Sperm is like the payoff! Understand the tension. It was great! Gonna definitly hang there more often.

― jon person (jon person), Saturday, 13 January 2007 03:35 (nineteen years ago)

I know that it's been mentioned on another thread somewhere (I've probably even repeated it already), but you can buy 27 minutes of "Revolution 9" for a dollar in most places.

― Pleasant Plains /// (Pleasant Plains ///), Saturday, 13 January 2007 03:39 (nineteen years ago)

Hey! and Skatebård from norway played records tonight: a lot of italo! it was niice..

― jon person (jon person), Saturday, 13 January 2007 03:51 (nineteen years ago)

i love when jukeboxes have "celebration music for all occasions" cds. playing "pomp and circumstance" in a crowded, smoky bowling alley = rofflez galore

― joseph (joseph), Saturday, 13 January 2007 05:22 (nineteen years ago)

yo milo that first track is not really a chain gang field recording, that's foley of dudes chopping wood. pounding rocks into sand is a lot less, er, musical.

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Saturday, 13 January 2007 06:21 (nineteen years ago)

Please don't crush my illusions.

― milo z (mlp), Saturday, 13 January 2007 06:25 (nineteen years ago)

Hey, they weren't breaking rocks in the hot sun, but it was still a chain gang.

― milo z (mlp), Saturday, 13 January 2007 06:28 (nineteen years ago)

Wow!!!

― TOMB07 (TOMBOT), Saturday, 13 January 2007 21:55 (nineteen years ago)

i put joy division on in a bar tonight

the Waffle House songs about Waffle House are awesome, but Hawaiian music is like my least favorite kind of music in the world.

Monday night after a truly wonderful, inspired performance by William Bell at the Stax museum a few of us convened at a late-night watering hole. The bartender proceeded to play a Modest Mouse cd and one of those mid-period Radiohead records. Both in there entirety. I actually don't hate either band (in fact each have at least two good-to-great records a piece) but in this context it was positively excruciating. We were too drunk/stoned/lazy to go somewhere else, so you know, shame on us. But man, what a fucking bummer. That bartender needs to be tasered.

i have played joy division in a bar a couple of times, transmission iirc

are internet jukeboxes a bane or boon? choice is nice but they are more expensive. and i like the oddball things that show up on otherwise lame jukeboxes as noted above

― buzza, Thursday, 28 April 2011 18:14 (fourteen years ago)

i actually made a thread about this

The Internet Jukebox thread

people who play radiohead in a bar are really the worst

― frogbs, Thursday, 28 April 2011 18:18 (fourteen years ago)

My problem with all these newfangled jukeboxes is that, with many of them, the next guy can come along and opt for money to play his song(s) first, throwing your carefully crafted song list out of whack.

They're cool when you can opt to pay more money and download a song that's not on there.

― Concatenated without abruption (Michael White), Thursday, 28 April 2011 18:18 (fourteen years ago)

yeah the whole "make mine first" option really sounds like something that could cause a few bar fights

on the other hand when you really want to hear a song and someone played 10 calvin harris tracks in a row, it's a godsend
