New York Welcome Center Rest Stop of I-81 North
I swear to anyone that will hear it that this rest stop used to feature vending machines that sold HOT food! Now they are nowhere to be found and one can only buy ice cream and normal snacks. It's truly a shame. But what's not a shame is hearing "Soul Meets Body" by Death Cab for Cutie filter through the speakers. Who would have thought that rest stops were so up-to-date with relatively-popular music? I would have expected anything that came out of the 80's at a rest stop, so believe me when I say that I was pleasantly surprised.

In Passing
January 10, 2008 approximately 9:15p.m.:
Main Street: Ellicott City, Maryland
I had just bought a coffee at The Bean Hollow, this coffee place on Historic Main Street, more then likely wedged between random antique/dress shops, where the guy that works there cheerfully called my mocha + coconut syrup concoction a "coco mocha!," and was walking back to my car when I heard something I recognized. "Don't masquerade with the guy in shades, oh no!" was literally blaring from a car stopped at a red light. That's right, I mean I heard "I Wear My Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Hart on Historic Main Street in Ellicott City. I turned to look at the driver and they seemed totally out of it. I expect that if someone is listening to this particular song at full blast, they should be enjoying themselves! I know that I would have been.

New Years Eve and Day
New Years Eve, 2007:
Key Foods: Queens, New York
While shopping for an upcoming Ice Cream Social (caps necessary and appropriate), "The Underdog" by Spoon started blaring through the speakers. Though Spoon is becoming increasingly known, it was odd to hear this song off GA GA GA GA GA playing in a random supermarket.
New Years Day, 2008:
Taco Bell: Laurel, Maryland
Starving after being on an awful Amtrak adventure for hours, I needed sustenance. It being a "holiday," my first food choice, Chipotle, was closed. Luckily, the ever-reliable Taco Bell was not. Right as I'm about to leave the 'Bell, "Fake Empire" by The National could be heard overhead. Though it's not my favorite song to come out of 2007, it's a surprisingly good song to hear at your local fast food joint.

Hello and Welcome
Hello and welcome to my new blog.
I was in a supermarket yesterday and in a certain fast food restaurant today and I heard music that I didn't expect to hear at those certain places. In a stroke of inspiration, I thought a it'd be a good idea to have somewhere to document all this craziness. Therefore in this blog I will discuss my random environments and the amazing music they seem to play. Here goes nothing.
