OK, so I was working by myself in the store today, so I decided to bring in my iPod and hook it up to the car stereo display, thereby insuring that only songs I like would play. Then I thought it'd be fun to keep track of what came up (as far as possible, at least). So here's the tunes that the iPod DJ picked from around noon to 6:00 today. I would bet we were probably the only retail store in the world playing Sergio Mendes' "The Circle Game" as instore music.
