Coffee Shops and Music
defaultstring:
I always thought "Knock me a Kiss" by Jackson Joe would be great in the early mornings for coffee shops.
I go to a lot of local java huts, and the music they play is rather dull, if they play music at all.
Rock the booty beat musics. People should be getting their groove and java on at the same time. Dance-punk, electro, funk-hip-hop, or anything that will keep people on their toes.
Either that, or really good ambiance~
That would be the most awesome coffee shop. I'd go all the time.

Or you can make it the Championship Vinyl of coffeeshops. If someone doesn't know what is playing or asks if you ever play Xtina, you can sneer at them until they leave. You will be poor but confident in your musical superiority.

You can't see me right now, but I am batting my eyelashes bashfully.

I have actually been pushing the idea of selling music as well. As is stands, Belleville is completely devoid of coffee shops and record stores. Meaning we would be the first in each market. For the playlists I am looking for more of a Sufjan/BSS/AiH along with some Explosins in the Sky/GY!BE/Enon. Just a wide variety of Musicans. Though generally a nice mellow feel but not to mellow.

I am actually looking into a system that does something similar to what you describe. We would essentially be streaming out own web-radio station, then allow customers to request songs via our WiFi connection.
@defaultstring
Interesting idea, sadly I don't think it would fly with the rest of my family, or the atmosphere we are trying to create.

Where in Belleville are you opening this? I live in Edwardsville, so I'm not to far away. What's your place gonna be called?
Also, contact the artists and labels. Most won't mind you playing their songs as long as you contact them first. I have a friend who has this podcast, and every song he plays he has to get permission to. He's never had a problem getting anyones permission, and searching for playable artists has even helped him to find more music to listen to.
Also, if you want me to show you some good local music, I am more than willing too.
