Incidental music

One of the virtues of living in a large city is the likelihood of cool music playing in your regular haunts. Take for instance this morning when Cafe Fioro was pumping out some of Phoenix’s exquisite It’s Never Been Like That album from a few years back.

The more surprising occurrence was hearing Rogue Wave’s “Lake Michigan” blaring out of the Strand McDonalds at 9pm. Since when have Sub Pop bands become popular with Scottish fast food joints?

It doesn’t matter really, they’re good songs.
