Unexpected FM

[Chris_Lover]

There's an italian radio/tv channel called Radio Capital that broadcasts 70s/80s/90s music. I'm watching it almost everyday since last week and in the past 3 days I was able to watch "Don't stop", "Little lies", "Sara", "Rhiannon", "Dreams" and "Seven wonders" -EDIT: and "Gypsy" (I forgot about it)
There's also another 80s local tv channel called 8FM TV and it's also possible to watch it in streaming: http://webtv.ottofm.tv/
This is the tv channel I watched 2 years ago when I lived in Turin (Piedmont) and thanks to it I discovered Fleetwood Mac's music ("Little lies" was in fact one of the first video they aired when the channel was still new and had only few songs).
There's also a tv commercial for Eni Gas Station and it's almost 6-7 years that they use "Don't stop" as background music. At first, it was used the original FM song, but now there's an instrumental version of it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6k3WFGvHd8).
In 2011 the original song was changed with Erica Mou's cover (that honestly I don't like very much):

The other week i was having lunch with my partner and they played Dreams, The Chain and then Oh Daddy in succession.

We then went for a few drinks elsewhere and we heard Gypsy and then Seven Wonders in succession.

The day before we heard Dreams in a shop and i started to duet on it with the man who was serving me.

Very strange

I was at a wedding Saturday night, and during the reception the bride suprised the groom and sang him a song (she said he had never heard her sing before).

Low and behold, she sang Songbird.

You should have jumped up and chimed in.

Somehow I feel like that might not have gone over so well.

Well, I had an unexpected FM moment, only it wasn't that I heard a song. A customer came in today & saw my pics of FM on my bulletin board. She said, "Is that Stevie Nicks?" And I said, "Yeah". Then she want to know if it was taken on her solo tour or during FM. And I said that it was FM (from the Unleashed Tour in Philly though I didn't tell her that). She asked if I was a big fan. Well, yes I am I replied. I think she was surprised. She then said something about how our parents said that R&R would never last & something about today's music. She said that she really can get into the music part, not so much as the lyrics. She said that the one song that she really liked from FM was Tusk. Yeah, I said that was a good song though I would say for me personally it's not my favorite. And that was my unexpected FM moment today.

I heard the song "Say You Will" while in Zoey's Kitchen here in Austin the other day. One of the last times I was there I heard Christine McVie's "Friend." I like being surprised with obscure Mac tunes during my lunch break.

I have sooo many instances, it's a bit weird.

Over the summer I typically had my iPod plugged into the car. I had been listening to FM a lot at this time, so I thought I'd switch things up and turn on the radio. So, I switch on the radio and an FM song begins to play. I can't remember which song now. But it wasn't like I jumped into the middle of a song, it was the exact beginning, no adverts, no DJ talking. It was like I had popped in a CD. The FM gods are powerful

Another time I was in JCPenny and a really horrid club remix of GYOW started to play. It was pure sacrilege! It wasn't even a cover, it was just their song mashed up and destroyed.

One other time I was leaving Target, and the music playing outside as I walked to my car was a instrumental cover of NGBA That made me happy, made me want to stand on the sidewalk a bit longer.

I heard Love In Store, as I was leaving Lowes, a couple of days ago(so of course I didn't walk out!), and heard Big Love, in Goodwill yesterday.

That's a rare one. I would have stayed too. Also, if they decided to make announcements over the store's P.A. system while the song was playing, I would have put a stop to that.

That's what it was! I couldn't remember if it was Love in Store or Seven Wonders but it was in Lowe's and I was really shocked. Random!

I heard Not that Funny Live in a barn the other day. Oh no wait, that was chickens squawking....

I just heard a muzak version of Silver Springs at the K & W Cafeteria. That was the first time I've heard it done as elevator music, and it was actually quite nice. Not as dramatic as FM version.

BTW, the original studio version is by all-time favorite Stevie performance.

The CVS I was at today was playing Rumours in full over the loudspeaker. I made my poor dad stay in there like 20 minutes after we were done shopping because I was like soaking up that awesome moment.

Oh hellz no! I was literally walking out the door. I planted my feet
, turned around, and pretended to shop for the next four minutes!
