The Postal Serivce and The Pier

(1/7) > >>

trolley:
Ok, so I work at a home and garden furniture store in England called The Pier  (known as Pier 1 in the US), and the store music we usually have is a couple of CDs that loop, day in, day out. They are mixtapes of music from all different cultures and styles, mirroring the multicultural stylings of the furniture and stuff we sell. Basically it's a mix of panpipe, joss stone and jem.
I've had to listen to the same tracks every weekend for months, so imagine my absolute delight yesterday when in the middle of serving a customer The Postal Service's 'Recycled Air' comes on. I was almost struck dumb to actually hear The Postal Serivce being played anywhere, least of all in a shop in a shopping centre. I know they're quite used in america (vernonica mars, the oc etc.) but to hear it here, I was in heaven. I must have looked like a loon, grinning ear to ear.

I guess there isn't much point to this, but I needed to share my pure unadulterated glee. Come pop down to Bluewater and visit me in The Pier, and we can chill out to PS together :)

Tinsel_Shine:
I heard them playing in Gap maybe a month or so ago. I was kinda shocked at first, because I had no idea Gap had any sort of taste in music, but I thought it was quite cool considering the alternative would probably have been chart music (there are so many shops here that I find it almost painful to shop in, simply because they constantly play RnB).

Aphi:
There's a new m&m's commercial with "Such Great Heights" in the background.

KharBevNor:
Maybe it's time to consider the fact that The Postal Service will soon be charts music...

Se7en:
well its pretty normal for shop assistants to get to choose the piped music in the shop, so its not too suprising.
