SoooOo. I go down to my local gw regularly. They have their own musics their, which tend to be on a disc, and is alternative rock songs/lotr/star wars musziks. How about your stores?

**Black Corsair**

in my own, usually, in my opinion, hateful disco music from the .net's radio with a fether as a commentarist, in the best an endless repeat of Dropkick Murphy's songs....

for the DM are okay form me, if it was only few songs but disco are IMO a lot unfitting in a wargames store

....I'm Shippin' to Bostooon Woooooohooooohooooo...

**WARBOSS TZOO**

People go outside without mp3 players now?

**Black Corsair**

Sure! but you cannot listen MP3 while you're painting (in my case, surely will try to chop in half someone with the brush rather than paint a miniature, so illtempered and aggresive music my own

) or playing a game..

**Platuan4th**

Note I haven't been since early 2009, but last time I went into the LA Bunker, they were playing the background music from Warhammer Online.

My FLGS plays various internet radio stations, depending on who's working.

**Quintinus**

My local GW normally has LotR and PotC music. Not sure why PotC, but okay.

**Lord of battles**

We play the radio at my flgs.

**karimabuseer**

Radio? Ew. Mine was playing Kaiser Chefs today

**Luco**

None that I know of. Generally the only sounds are of people messing with rc cars and helicopters and such. The one that I go to on occasion plays John Williams in an endless loop.

**Khornholio**

The GW here plays some internet disco radio station. I think it's up to the guy who works there.

**c34r34lk1ll3r**

Action Games & Comics: depends on what we feel like listening to that day. If Tony is there, Moetronica *shudder*

Sci-Fi: all kinds of geek muzak.

Cool Stuff: ESPN o.O

**avantgarde**

Local GW likes to play music from epic action movies. Whenever Enemy at the Gates comes up I'm forced to passionately recite Bob Hoskins lines with all the gusto of err... Bob Hoskins.

I've been asked to stop.

**Space_Potato**

At my FLGS they play indie and alternative stuff during the day, but when they do in-store mini-tourneys, they play LoTR stuff, and general sci-fi stuff.

The coolest one we had was when they did a BFG tourney, and they play Ride of the Valkyries on a loop. It did not get old.

In fact me, the staff and three randoms stood at the back of the store yelling "DUN DADUN DAAAN DAAAN, DUN DADUN DAAAN DAAAN, DUN DADUN DAAAN DAAAN, DUN DADUN DAAAAAAAAA!" very loudly. Now they play it when ever me and the staff happen to be around the table at the same time.

**Little lord Fauntleroy**

Bifffy Clairo songs....over and over again...every. single. time....

**children of filth**

a mix of rock music, star wars and other sci fi, and flight of the valkyries every 3 or 4 songs.

**warsmith pyrus**

At my Local GW they used to play Metal, things like Iron Maiden and Rob Zombie, which I enjoyed. As well as a few soundtracks e.g. Pirates of the Caribbean. Although recently they have been playing more and more popular stuff ''to not scare away potential customers''

. But a few of the old metal songs have survived and the staff will play them if asked nicely (also there has a recent decrease in the popular music

)

Gw croydon or bromley by any chance?

**Space_Potato**

Nah, Romford. I just don't go in that much any more.

Also, @ Fauntleroy - What's wrong with the Biff?

I like their new stuff, but their old stuff is so much better, I recommend looking it up

S_P

**Brother SRM**

There's two guys who work at my FLGS. One listens to NPR, but will put on some generic epic fantasy music from god knows where (Not LoTR, possibly Conan?)

The other guy has really diverse taste. Sometimes it will be loungecore, sometimes it will be Tarantino soundtracks and rockabilly, and sometimes it will be Trance Around the World with Above and Beyond.

Last time it was Devo

**Great Unclean One**

In my GW it depends on whose in, the manager usually has a alternative playlist with Justin Timberlake on it *Shudder* which is how we know he is 'in' and usually when anyone else is in it's a metal/rock/film soundtrack with some Irish folk metal thrown in

**Commander Endova**

Lots of stuff. Whoever wants to ante up their iPod gets to have it played. We're really laid back that way. Default is epic movie music, but we don't do that much anymore.

**TheFirstBorn**

They have a GW in Croydon? And thats not had a drive-by on it how?

**lunarman**

It's down a tiny street that you can't get a car down!

At mine, in Bristol, they play classical music

Mozart, Beethoven... Gotta love eccentric managers

**Sidstyler**

....I'm Shippin' to Bostooon Woooooohooooohooooo...

To find my wooden leg!

**hungryp**

For the last little bit of its life my local GW played...nothing. Apparently they were told they can't play any music without the proper performance licenses.

**J.Black**

We either get a bunch of emo crap or ost stuff. The best and most popular being the Conan the barbarian disc.

**daedalus**

Neither of the two I frequent have music playing. Frankly, this is the primary reason why I frequent them.

**CT GAMER**

Not really.

But keep in mind if I'm playing you and you can't be respectful enough to actually listen to me when I am trying t communictae we are gonna have an issue.

I get tired real fast of having to repeat everything six times because some asshat can't be bothered to take a break from his crap-rock/crap-rap for a little bit while we play a game...

**themocaw**

The first time I went into my FLGS, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" came on their soundtrack. A tear ran down my face.

I had come home.

**Acardia**

Our local modern/classic rock/metal Radio station is constantly on, as one of the DJ's and his son are almost always there.
