I can understand if you're a certain kind of place, so you play a certain kind of music to go with that kind of place, but I dunno why an Italian-style pizza place has to characterize itself with pop music. I can at least turn it down so I can hear people on the phone, though. I think a roller derby might just drive me 'round the twist.

AKA let us share songs that remind us of the PPC.
(I will be posting my own songs in a reply)
Given the fact most of the glitterbags are self-styled 'heroes', We Need A Villain indeed.
I think "Exterminate, Regenerate" by Chameleon Circuit fits us and our struggle against Sues perfectly. This one's also on the previous PPC Fanmix (thank you, wiki), but it still applies. Lookin' at you, Aviator
Possibly Cardboard Castles by Watsky.
That opening bit—that's "Tom's Diner" by Suzanne Vega. So weird to find it there. I've heard "Centuries" before and never noticed.

I wish they hadn't put that sample in; the song's fine without it.
"What Have We Got?" by Sting is a rousing song about a hard-working, hard-used band of folk with nothing to count on but trouble and no one to rely on but themselves, who keep on getting up and doing it anyway because, well, what else is there? Sounds like the PPC to me!
It's from a show called The Last Ship, for which I have the soundtrack and desperately want to see performed someday. I like grizzled-old-man!Sting very much.

I mean, I did probably like season three a bit better, but only because the villain actors sold their characters so well. Season two I found pretty boring, with the whole endless drama between Buffy and Angelus. It stretched on too long, I think.
It always feels awkward, getting into such a popular fandom decades after the fact!
—doctorlit just started season four this month
There are a lot of episodes in season one that make me cringe for one reason or another. There are good ones, too—the show never would've made it otherwise!—but personally, I started to really enjoy it somewhere in early-to-mid season two.
I admit the romance is a little hard to watch, what with certain modern takes on the thing coloring my perceptions, but at least Buffy did it better, and has the excuse of doing it first.
~Neshomeh is planning a Buffyverse mission eventually. Lots on the docket first, though.
(tidies up the... mini... Weeknd? I think? wtfever.)
Anyway, the girl in that really big, Eighties-sounding song? Basically an anthropomorphic personification of cocaine. Thought that might interest you. =]
But I'm slowly developing a reputation for being the guy who turns the radio down/off when no one else is in the room. I can't stand the repetitiveness of U.S. radio play. The songs are all so similar.
Plus, songs with lyrics are really distracting to me when I'm trying to work. Depending on my family data plan's state, I prefer to play video game soundtracks off of YouTube in the background.
—doctorlit is a bit hipster about music, he supposes
That's the way of working retail/food service/etc.
I still have flashbacks to the specific Christmas music station they used at my last job. :|
Was it loud enough to, by way of a completely random example, soundtrack a sizable roller disco? With no recourse to your own jukebox because the selector unit's completely had it? So you are forced to listen to Meghan Traynor's ersatz-retro pastel-hued sugarvomit for hours at a time? Gosh, this totally random example is really spec, innit? =]

Whatever created Tv Tropes can't be that bad, right?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Though I confess I haven't listened to much besides the BiTrektual album. "When You're Evil" is a favorite around here, though. ^_^
I wonder, do you like Jonathan Coulton, too? Some of his stuff is on the last PPC Soundtrack.
~Neshomeh
'Course I know it! And... yeah, I think I'm sold on Mr. Coulton. :D
Am I giving that impression?
Blimey.
Sorry about that. I'm honestly not trying to cause trouble, or anything like that.
Thanks for telling me, at least. Y'know, before I offended anyone.
I'll, er. Try to have more substance, I suppose.
