Really, I wanna know. And don't lie just to be cool. If you're listening to Right Said Fred, say so....or wait until a cooler song is playing THEN tell me. Right now, I'm listening to a muzak version of Led Zep's "All My Love", which started out with a somewhat limp flamenco guitar, which is what got my attention in the first place. Burger King has the weirdest muzak of any place I frequent.

Burger King, MEH. They don't even serve margaritas.
I've had The Black Keys "Lonely Boy" stuck in my head all day. It's really annoying.

Yeah, if not for the wi-fi, I'd never step foot in this dump.
They had the bright idea to "upgrade" their menu a few months back, took off all the dollar menu favorites, jacked up the prices by 50 cents, and then went a step further and added this high-tech soda dispenser that offers "128 different combinations of soda".
Only problem is, there's only one station, so it's one person at a time at the soda line and if you get just one person who doesn't know what they want, or can't figure it out, you get quite the bottleneck.
Today, of course, I come in and see that the display is showing a PC "screen of death" and one of the burger slingers is trying to get the machine back on-line. Pissed off a good number of folks with that little dose of technology.

I won't add that Facebook app where everyone can see what you're listening to on Spotify at the moment because it would be too mortifying.
Either that or I'd be listening to pretentious stuff on it all the time so that people would go "Wow, man."

I do have one friend who has that APP installed and I'm consistently blown away by the cool stuff he's listening to...not hipster cool, but, you know, just good chit mane.

I'd be fine most of the time, but then there would be four of the sappiest Carpenters songs in a row or some Alanis or Archies or the like.

Pfft, if that's the worst stuff you might be caught spinning, I say you worry too much. I'm afraid of getting busted spinning my stuff non-stop, so as to rake in that "penny per play" royalty rate that Spotify is paying out. "

I'm listening to the republican debate (know thine enemy). It's entertaining in a bizarre way. Cool answer- Miles Davis 'Live at the Pugged Nickel'. If Stephen Hawking had a jazz quintet, it would sound less advanced than this. Unreal.

That Primitives record is a total jam!

I LOVED the Primitives back in the 80s. I just revisited Lovely and Pure. They both are such great albums. They reunited last year and put out an EP, which was disappointing to me.

Been listening to lots of Motown, LOTS. Sometimes only Aretha knows the truth.

Yeah, was excited when I heard about the reunion, but the EP was a letdown. They sounded so generic, er, normal. She still looks great though. I LOVED the Primitives back in the 80s.

" So that's where you raked in the cash to buy yourself this fancy new message board! Truthfully, my friends would see that I'm listening -- repeatedly -- to the filthiest Doug Stanhope, Jim Norton and other routines (TONS of comedy on Spotify) and my Facebook friends would either drop to 0 or soar to 245,645.
