Yeah, it was actually the only song I knew by him before I ventured into the actual albums. Still, I'd be happy to hear FZ at a grocery store. Although, if you hear it "all the time," then I can see how you'd get sick of it.

The radio station at my work is on some kind of weird endless loop, and it cycles through songs for about a 2 day cycle except for Sundays when it plays nothing but new albums. So, for whatever reason, I heard the song a good 6-8 times in a month. But I haven't heard it lately.

It's weird, there are always lots of weird things played on there; obviously, it's mainly Nelly and Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake and shit but they're sandwhiched between old-ass Metallica recordings and Sabbath and shit. Seriously, it'll go from "Sexyback" to "Frayed Ends of Sanity", because the whole thing is a big request line. Anyway, one night it played "In Dreams" by Roy Orbison and then it played the song "Blue Velvet"; I thought that was awesome, though probably intentional.

On sunday nights, it'll play full new albums. Like, I remember it played that last Yeah Yeah Yeahs album all the way through once.. I mean, I hate them, and it was terrible, but it was cool to hear it. I've heard the new Modest Mouse, Death Cab, all kinds of shit, because they just play new albums. It's nice because I can say I heard them without having to bother downloading them haha.

I arrange mine by their location thru their career.

The early Zappa, California ....then NYC (above ground) for their residency at the Garrick Theater, then in the Sewers for Hot Rats. After that when Frank brought in Flo and Eddie from the Turtles, that period I put under 'P' for pondscum.

During their George Duke period I them under G for gorilla (ode to Chester's gorilla ). I could have easily put that under C for Chester Thompson, but George penned the phrase.

Then I finally put some in M for the Mother's horrible Valley Girl period. This quickly became the T section cause I tossed those albums in the trash. Couldn't stand that time.

Wow "In Dreams" ---> "Blue Velvet" in a supermarket is pretty creepy. Kick ass.

I heard change your mind by neil young and crazy horse once at walgreens.
Wierd considering its on a non-famous album (sleeps with angels) and isn't a single, and is about 15 minutes long.

Organisation of Glice's records, vinyl: New stack; recent stack; Fall stack; DJ-ing stack; Charity shop/ 'world'/ classical stack; rock stack at the back.

CDs: "Is there a space? Yes? It belongs there then" or "Fucking stupid shape, that's going in the stupid shape/ box set pile" or "the Fall".

Obviously, I rarely have time to organise music properly, so you're likely to find Jim Reeves on top of Sunn.
