Music @ Burbank Bob Hope Airport

[Dionysus]

I’m sitting in the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank (very small airport), and they play the coolest music over the public system. Right now they’re playing Charlie Sexton’s Beat So Lonely. I haven’t heard that in so long, what a great song. Just before that it was Talk Talk’s Life’s What You Make It. Talk Talk is one of my faves.

Where do you ever hear songs like that anymore? I love the 80s music so much.

They've apparently been doing this for a while. I found a local article about it here - Burb's Eye View: Muzak to your waiting ears

Great find Third Coast!

From the article:

As you board your flight for Phoenix, you might discover the Crowded House earworm you’ve been humming for the last 10 minutes came straight from the speakers above your head.

I was waiting on a flight to Phoenix (sitting in Sky Harbor airport now), how funny.

“I gotta say, the music at the Burbank airport is surprisingly good,” said one Tweeter in June. The airport replied, “It's hard to hate our ’80s music.

”

Hear hear!

Sometimes it’s just the little things.
