Not too “obscure”—but Folk Implosion’s “Natural One” was playing in DIY Home Center; can’t remember the last time I heard it in the wild. (It was followed by Blondie’s “Call Me,” to give you an idea of how it was punching above its weight on their playlist.)

They were playing Julee Cruise in Hobbycraft once a few years ago. Also the Starbucks at my uni once randomly inserted death metal in a playlist that was mostly soft pop and r&b which still perplexes me

I'm in Port Huron, Michigan, right now and just passed a CVS. Not as thrilling as driving past the Stop & Shop, but close. I almost dropped in to see what obscure singles they were playing but instead sought refuge in the familiar, Tim Hortons.

Junior - “Mama Used To Say” at the gas station. Love that song, haven’t heard it in ages. It was followed by a great song that sounded exactly like James Brown, yet I’m fairly sure wasn’t.

Brenda Lee’s “Is It True?” was playing loudly in the elevator at a corporate convention-center hotel! I played air guitar along with Page’s solo as I swiftly descended, alone…(coming back up later, I heard a track I had to Shazam; it was a 1980 jam by Gladys Knight and the Pips called “Add It Up.” Some absolute king or queen put this hotel’s playlist together…)

(Fate must be smiling upon me on this final morning of my work conference, bc I heard another favorite song – Wolf Parade’s “Shine a Light” – while eating breakfast at another hotel. That place was working a “2000s indie” playlist, so it fit in.)

Oldies Dairy Queen was nosier and playing the muzak at a lower volume than normal. Still could make out:
Buddy Holly: "Not Fade Away"Cleveland Crochet: "Sugar Bee"
The latter was the first and one of the only Zydeco Rock hits, charting in 1960, a good 25 or so years before "My Toot-Toot."

Them's fighting words (not that Spike doesn't know how, he does, but the "just about the only" part)...Swear to god, I was on here an hour ago and almost posted the Blackkklansman clip with a security-camera footage joke (i.e., from the physical therapy office--a lot of moving parts for a joke). Incredible scene.
