Where is the Strangest Place You've Ever Heard a Damien Rice Song Playing?

WhatAmIDarling? · 04-10-2006, 07:38 PM

I don't have a very good one...the strangest plave I've ever heard a Damien Rice song playing was "Amie" at a homeschooler's winter formal run by uber Christians.

erm.. i was on the way to the bathroom at The Frames gig in The
Point November 10th of last year.

and i started hearing The Blower's Daughter.. i didnt think anything of it at the time.. but people started playing it (using their mobiles) again on a bus home the next Day.

as people will know who were at the gig , - damien appeared as a suprise guest... and i missed it...

Gatsby · 04-11-2006, 01:44 AM

any time im in a supermarket or convenience store its the strangest place to hear damien rice

i remember when i worked in a shop we would be sent cds that are "approved supermarket music" sent from amsterdam

damien rice was on most of them

audity · 04-11-2006, 03:11 AM

I heard Damien Rice blarring out of this old man's car.
The guy was like 80 and he was listening to "Prague" at full blast.

One thing's certain: the geezer had taste.

Five Leaves Left · 04-11-2006, 04:23 AM

i've never heard him playing anywhere other than from my cd player or a friends cd player

Sionna · 04-11-2006, 01:12 PM

McDonalds!They used to play Cannonball,the radio version.

maalin · 04-11-2006, 01:55 PM

I once heard cannonball in the supermarket.. the first time i ever heard any Damien Rice song in a public place.. they don't even play anything by him on the radio here in Sweden, so i was quite chocked..

Juzzza · 04-11-2006, 03:40 PM

I heard Cannonball (album version) in a Starbucks in Auckland, New Zealand. I was on my own mini-tour and it just made me smile so much, I played it in my set that night at All Nations Tavern. I didn't think anyone would know damo in NZ and so had removed his covers from my set.

Ah, happy days indeed.

ManOfLetters · 04-11-2006, 04:46 PM

i head "volcano" in a happy joe's pizza in a small town in illinois.

and i think that's it.

WhatAmIDarling? · 04-11-2006, 07:29 PM

I remember hearing a Damien Rice song at the end of an episode of 'Lost'.

i ask once every few months, but no-one ever tells me the difference between the album and radio version??

i don't think i've ever heard damo, anywhere that wierd.

Juzzza · 04-11-2006, 08:09 PM

Radio version has drums and is slightly faster for mainstream ears.

jenn fox · 04-11-2006, 08:41 PM

The Blowers Daughter playing in a Coach store! It was ridiculous...by the way we were there buying a graduation present for a very girlie girl...NOT for me!

the album version is (obviously) the one that you have on your "O" however the radio version is a remix. it can be found on the Irish released version of b-sides...that might be the one released in the U.K as well...i dunno... but it has a green cover....the american version (cardboard cover) doesnt have the remix on it.

(...i dont mean to sound snotty but i would advise you not to listen to the remix...i covered my ears and did the whole "lalalala" thing when i heard it first..the main reason is probably coz im well used to the original cannonball...but i just don’t like the remix at all...)

First off... HELLO and welcome to a Fellow Iowan(FOR NOW)... I was shocked to see happy joe's pizza!

I heard Damien on an episode of LOST and of ER, and was quite shocked at both!!

As far as the radio edit of Volcano... I have to agree that I am not really a big fan of it... It just doesn't seem Damien's style!!

Dont forget CSI Miami!Think they played delicate....

Beevers_uk · 04-12-2006, 01:11 PM

I was gonna say that!! Yeah they played it in a scene with Horatio, where he did one of his poses!

Sionna · 04-12-2006, 01:15 PM

Haha he's the funniest thing ever.His poses and his phrases r so funny!Must say I prefer Grisham tho in LV

Beevers_uk · 04-12-2006, 01:24 PM

Horatio Caine: Bag it, tag it and let's see what else is there!

[Pedro is a suspect]
Horatio Caine: Gentlemen, may I?
Lawyer: Be kind, Horatio.
Horatio Caine: As always. All right, now, Pedro, the gun we found in your room has tied you to two murders.
Lawyer: But possession doesn't make my client the killer.
Horatio Caine: We also have your skin cells on the tourniquet you used.
Lawyer: ALLEGEDLY used.
Horatio Caine: Allegedly used.
[turns to the Lawyer]
Horatio Caine: Now, are you going to rebut everything I'm saying?
Lawyer: Yes.
Horatio Caine: Excellent.

Horatio Caine: Alright, be on the lookout for an Eastern European male with bad teeth who may have access to an ape.

haha, yeah. But i think they have played another one of his songs on the Program!

Oh i once heard him on an Aer Lingus Inflight radio thingy thing!

Sionna · 04-12-2006, 01:27 PM

Haha thats brill!Cant think of anywhere else ive heard his songs....

Gatsby · 04-12-2006, 04:36 PM

i once heard damiens songs when i put on a cd of "O"

I despise Horatio. He takes the whole I'm-just-trying-to-do-what's-right-and-help-innocent-victims role to a whole new level of in-dire-need-of-a-punch-in-the-nosiness.

Banjohead · 04-12-2006, 10:11 PM

At this stage im used 2 hearing Damien's songs being played at Funerals.......<so sad

> ..........but i was really taken aback a few weeks ago when i heard him being played at a Wedding! ..........From 1 extreme 2 another

samuelle · 04-13-2006, 12:21 AM

it's not completely strange and i didn't really hear it, but i had my students bring in their favorite song lyrics to class and they swapped lyrics did critical analyses of them using the different layers of interpretation. one of my students brought in the lyrics for "i remember."

i had to restrain myself from giving extra credit on the spot.

SisterMidnight · 04-15-2006, 12:43 AM

i'd kind of like to hear what they had to say about that... shoot i would have given him the extra credit

ooh i heard damien today! okay so maybe it doesn't seem like a big deal but it's NEVER happened before (except for tv ads for the movie closer) but i was in a coffee shop getting a double mocha latte and as i turned to go out the door eskimo came on

i was shocked! damien rice playing in a shop is novel enough but.. eskimo?! i thought it was very cool.. i stood in the doorway for awhile listening before i went on to work..

Happy Joe's does suck!!!!

have you ever gone to Java Joe's in Des Moines, they play Damien almost regularly... That and they roast their own beans in the shop... MMMmmm, so delicious!!

samuelle · 04-15-2006, 03:12 AM

i disagree - happy joe's has excellent taco pizza. and little joes are excellent.

(the analysis of "i remember" was sorely lacking, by the way - the person who drew that song took every word very literally, which was okay until damien's part kicked in...)

DRMS_7888 · 04-15-2006, 09:09 AM

I was a bouncer for a James Blunt concert awhile ago in my area. Someone shouted out "play cannonball!" Its not exactly like hearing the song, but it really made me laugh. James Blunt looked pretty pissed after that.

And where might you be from my friend?? I have to say my opinion is biased... I am vegetarian and a believer that "taco" and "pizza" don't go together!!!

JAMES BLUNT..... HMMMMMMMMMMM... How DO WE FEEL ABOUT HIM???
