Strange Music In Public Places

Just a strange way of listening to music. Frequently I find myself racing through traffic on my bike (Oh look here I am) and hear the radio coming out of windows, most people are listening to Radio 1, Kiss or XFM so I get snatches of the tracks I hear so often that I unconsciously fill the gaps from memory. What's interesting is following two or three songs at once, having them mix in my head as I move down the line.
Last summer I was picking up some Moby in traffic, as usual. But it was really fragmented, out of sync, all over the place. So I pulled over, into a garage where I know they play loads of radio, when I found it wasn't on, it dawned on me just how many people were playing the first side, repeatedly (Wasn't there a ridiculous stat from the 80s about the percentage of people listening to Phil Collins on the M25??)

VU - "Sunday Morning" at a restaurant in Granada, Spain. Not a hip, youth-oriented restaurant, it was a moderately "classy" place and the song was sandwiched between the stuff you'd expect to hear in a place like that.
