How To Make Me Buy Your Coffee…

Daragh | June 12, 2006

As an almost companion thought to the Take Back The Shite post I did recently here’s another, happier side of the story…

Was in the rooftop café in House Of Frasier in the Dundrum Centre last week for breakfast (will talk about that in The Breks Factor soon – piccies of it HERE) and, as I looked out on the gorgeous view from the open air terrace, half paying attention to Robbie Williams and the Black Eyed Peas on the stereo I made myself ready to head off.

The CD ended, another one started with the Theme From Shaft. I hung on for a while. It was followed by one of my favourite songs ever, The Temptations doing Papa Was A Rolling Stone, all 7 minutes of it :-)

Thus followed Otis Redding, the Jackson 5… The result? I bought another coffee just to listen to the music. An example of how an interesting playlist can increase your turnover…

    Yep I can agree with that. Same can be said for films too. I always seem to enjoy them more if the soundtrack is impressive. Intermission, About A Boy, Garden State, Grosse Point Blank, Reality Bites are a few of my favourites.
