Coffee Shops and Music
Jackie Blue:
My point is that they screamed "indie rock fan" from every pore of their being and live in one of the most culturally-aware cities in the world and yet had somehow never heard an album that had come out 8 months previous.
I'm not saying they were dumb for not having heard it or that everyone should like the album, it just struck me as humorous that in the heart of Hip Country here were two people who hadn't heard something that isn't even remotely obscure.

Dude, I go to art college, I wouldn't know Arcade Fire from Adam. I am still not getting your fucking point.
KharBevNor:
And then...I tell him?

Then you put on a metal record and he goes "Hey, this shit is pretty neat! What's it called?"

Thank you.
Or, imagine a girl in a Bauhaus T-shirt and a pound of black eyeliner hearing a Joy Division album and saying "Is this the new Interpol?"

Man, if someone were to open a shop around here implementing the ideas thrown about in this thread I'd be their best customer. This really makes me wish there were better coffee places around here. We have like one coffee shop that's not a Starbucks, and it's nowhere near where I live. And coming originally from the thriving hipster community that is Madison it makes me really miss good quality coffee/coffeeshops.
I think the idea of letting the customer choose the music is the most important. Just make sure everything on the playlist is something you can tolerate, because otherwise you'll end up hating the customer who keeps playing that one shitty song every time he comes in. There's a great restaurant in Madison that has a massive vinyl collection on shelves right near the cash register and any customer is able to put on whatever they want from their collection. It's a really cool system, and it's pretty much all good music. Not realistic for most places I'd imagine due to the vinyl investment, however.
