Today I bought Lamb's latest album What Sound and Royksopp's album Melody AM. While paying up, the counter staff at the music store beamed at my copy of Royksopp's CD and asked if I've heard Zero 7. I said yes and he went on to recommend the Avalanches. I smiled and said I've just got that. Then he was so nice as to go check if there are other similar CDs for me to get. Unfortunately, I've already got them all.

What struck me was this stranger went out of the way to help me cos he felt an affinity to what I listened to. From that CD purchase, he read my music likes and dislikes. Some people can be read like a book. Well, I can be read like a CD.
