Summer Department Store Playlist ’10

Well, I’m officially in the MA now, far away from the mystical land of Macy’s and all the terrifying comforts of the MOA. However, when I was still in the shit, ducking and rolling behind stack of 45% clearance items, the dept. store playlist definitely helped set a tone. And, of course, department store music is one of the most easily identified squeaky-clean irksome things about a dept. store. Honestly, some of the music wasn’t as bad as I’d thought it would be. There were even a few songs you probably know…

1) Let’s Start Slow: Lee DeWyze

American Idol twit covers one of U2′s more catchy/yawn-inducing singles, sounds like a male Sheryl Crow. Standard Department Store fare, really.

2) Sounds exactly like you’d expect it to: Sia

Apparently it was for a car commercial. The Church must be rolling over in its grave.

3) Sacrilege: Jamie Cullum

(insert Please stop the music joke here)

4) This one’s for you, Middle America:

Muuuuuch less threatening then that scary black guy who interrupts Taylor.

4a: ?

Anyway, that’s all this time kids. After my first night’s sleep in four years with no worries about homework or rent, I can only think about having two or three more before making any sense. I hope you enjoyed the blog equivalent of a clip show, hopefully the next one will be more awesome. Also, cherish your pop songs, lest someone one day make “Adult Contemporary” versions of them.
