I have a similar move but it usually involves a 30-40min Mountain jam.
I always used to love throwing on DMX on chill nights in the bar. Nothing like really setting the tone with “Up in Here” on a mellow Tuesday night.
I used to throw on either A Quick One, While He’s Away or Rock Lobster when leaving my local spot
There are these two bars that are right across the street from each other. One is kind of an old timers spot. Free pizza on weekdays, really cheap drinks. The spot across the street is a college bar. The touchtunes is close enough that I can hit either bar I want. I would always pop on a long Mars Volta song at the college bar and just wonder what they think is happening. Those songs are now blocked on touchtunes and I’d like to think I was part of that.
An off season Monster Mash is my go to jukebox terrorism.
At my usual college bar, the bartenders had a skip button for the touch tunes. One Chad played the 13 minute live version of OAR’s Crazy Game of Poker and was livid when my buddy skipped the song. The bartender told the guy to go fuck himself and tossed him a dollar out of the tip jar.
One thing I love about bartenders is that they don’t have to put up with asshole customers like servers do. They can have zero hesitation about telling a shitty customer to go fuck themselves, it’s amazing.
This is psychotic
i like to play easy lover on repeat
“Drums and Space” was my college choice.
I figure you should know this. Grant MacDonald is on AMI jukeboxes. Obviously not as widespread but if you see one of them fuckers hit the bar with some ram ranch. Pretty glorious.
Yes, this is what I have experienced as well. Those skip button features really started popping-up for tons of places starting around like 2015?
From my experience, a lot of bartenders do not hesitate skipping songs if they don’t like them.
Glad another Ram Ranch fan is out there
I really enjoy that section at the UM trademark “precisely halfway through the song sweet spot”.

Still waiting…
At least you both got a life lesson out of it, and didn’t walk away completely empty handed
