August 29, 200717 yr Yesterday, TK Max, Kingston, Velvettes, Needle in a haystack me and my daughter had a little dance down the aisle
August 30, 200717 yr KFC last night. waiting to be served and I'LL BE AROUND came on, sounded dead good at the time always hear this in morrisons also other motown choons
August 30, 200717 yr Went to inspect a lift in TK Maxx in Waterlooville last week and as I was signing in on came Moses Smith - Girl across the street. I hurredly phoned the hippo (Fudge) so as there was at least one other soulie who would vouch for me in the future. On enquiring about the origin of their store music the staff said that TK Maxx have their own radio station whose origins are in the USA. Don't know who was more shocked - me for hearing that track in there or the staff at the notion that anyone would fork out £250 for a 7" piece of vinyl (well - I'm sure it was the demo I heard )
August 30, 200717 yr I went to see the Go! Team at Oxford Brookes University last year. Its a big venue that holds a thousand or so punters I guess and before the band came on they were playing the usual indie tunes. Then just before the band appeared they played Exus Trek which sounded absolutely fantastic on a massive proper sound system. Wasted on a load of students though.

Regards Alan
October 21, 200717 yr Wandering through our local Homebase DIY store on Friday... out of the speakers came "Cashing in" from the Voices of East Harlem - mixed in with the usual run of the mill 'muzac' (?) you usually hear in those places, it was no sales ad or anything like that, just out of the blue It reminded me of the very first time I heard it at the Blackpool Mecca all those years back
