Wish we had a store like that where i live....London Ontario Canada...if i play any music at work (i work in an environment where it's pretty much all guys and we each have a computer and small work area to do our job) all i hear is 'turn that shit off' or 'what the fuck is that noise?'. Needless to say, i've given up and only play my music when no one else is around...70's classic schlock still rules around here... ixnayray said:
I work in an alternative clothing and music merchandise store and I have the privelage of blasting music out all day. Fortunately as i'm in charge, I get to play music from my collection.
I play bands like The Beguiled, The Cramps, The Staggers, Bloodshot Bill, old school rockabilly and surf every day. Of course, I play the GP Podcasts too and I often get people commenting to me that they like my store because we always play such unusual music and it creates such a cool vibe. And when they ask me, "Hey, who is this band you're playing?", I get a pen and paper and jot down the GP web address and tell them to check us out.
I guess it's not that I "feel the need" to spread the wealth... I'm just lucky enough to play what I want. I think everyone digs savage rock 'n' roll - they just don't know it yet!
