I mean songs about shops.

Blur - Top Man

Madonna - Body Shop

Fasten Seatbelt - French Connection

Pavement - Date w/ IKEA

Monsters Of Folk - His Master's Voice

Linda Ronstadt - Lush Life

Dean Friedman - Lakelands

The Delgados - Thirteen Gliding Principles

Neil Young - Safeway Cart

Saint Etienne - Do It All

Department S - Somewhere Between Heaven And Tesco's

Again Again - Co-Optimist

And, of course...

There's a man with a mullet
Going mad with a mallet
In Millet's

About This Blog

Just the humble witterings of a middle-aged music fan from the north of England. I don't claim these lists to be definitive, I haven't heard every record ever produced (though I have heard a good number of them), I don't believe my opinion to be any more valid than yours.

I just like listening to old songs from my record collection and writing about them. Your recommendations are always welcome... if I've missed your favourite - let me know in the comments.
