Somnambulist Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I was just reading this thread yesterday and was thinking I never hear Wilco out and about. Well, last night I took the kids to Burger King as a special treat and "Impossible Germany" came on while we were eating our fatty meals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tfuller Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 I took my kids to Navy Pier last weekend and heard "Impossible Germany" as soon as I walked in there from the parking garage. Nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wilco Worshipper Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I know many of you have heard stuff while you were out, but I VERY rarely do. So I was QUITE EXCITED to hear 'Impossible Germany' playing at my local grocery store I made my girls come with me to an aisle right under a speaker so we could hear it better It's not like I couldn't hear it at home, but ya know...

WILCO travel plazas are the best! i drove between DC and TN many a times and didn't notice until what would be one of my last trips that there was a travel plaza on the route. Here's a pic of the back of one of the gasoline trucks that I took. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VenusStopsTrain2 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Ok this isn't quite out and about..but I just heard Either Way on Friday Night Lights at the beginning of the episode..mind you I normally don't watch the show..but was flipping and there it was!

dazzler Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I also got into a cab the other day, and the local radio station the driver was listening to used "box full of letters" for their mailbag segment. quite a way for a wilco fan to enter a taxi.

Drazil Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 While at the local mall, I stopped in BB&B for some massage oil and noticed that Kamera was playing in the store. Very pleasant shopping music... It should be a marketing ploy because I stayed in that smelly store until the song was over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoodoo Man Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 They must have collections of songs that get sent to the stores to be played. I was in BB&B in Memphis 3 years ago and heard Kamera. I was never so happy to be shopping with the wife & kids at "that smelly store" as I was that day. Incidentally, this past Friday night I was in a Walgreen's and heard The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop". I have declared that store, "Coolest Store in the World". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 i heard Impossible Germany around midnight last night in a convenience story in Philadelphia was on my way out with a bottle of water and M&Ms but stuck around for the guitar solo the coolest was hearing The Passenger by Iggy Pop in a Kohl's department store a few weeks ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watchtower41 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 funny you mention this, I heard Kamera while at brunch last Sunday. I was kinda like WTF?? Then I realized where I was at and just jammed out until they brought out a fresh tray of bacon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MunkyKayse Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 I was wine tasting in Napa when I heard a Wilco song come over the speakers. I can't remember which song it was, but I do remember saying out loud "Oh my God! It's Wilco!" Only my aunt understood why I was so excited. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fatheadfred Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I was at this joint in KC called Sweet Tomatoes and an SBS song came on as I was sitting down. Thank you God, thank you Jesus...I think it was Shake it Off. Your post about BB&Beyond made me think of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
