I was listening to Jack.FM, which is a station on the Clear Channel Network, I do believe. Their whole shtick is "we play what we want" and it's a variety of time periods and genres.

Anyhow, I heard "I've Got You" and honestly, that is the first time in my life I have ever actually heard Split Enz on American radio.

Jack FM is based from Vancouver, Canada.

Great station, even despite the fact I don't listen to the radio ...

not sure if this counts but...in aust for less than a week and at brookside shopping centre in brisso, walked straight into a guy wearing a vintage corroboree t-shirt. i'm sure it fit pretty well in '81 - now, not so much...he probably thought i was some middle-aged gay stalker i was fixed on him so much...

Not unexpected places, but unexpected songs

Vega (radio station)played Hard Act To Follow and I Don't Wanna Dance

I remember being in a lift with Tim and Marie, just the three of us after a show in Auckland and they were going to drop me off somewhere.... we hopped on at the third level and when it reached level 2 we could hear a band rehearsing playing Crowded House songs!!!

We all went 'wow Neil's in the building'....which he wasn't he was overseas.... it just was an oddball moment-Neils music haunting his older brother! I seem to recall it was a half decent cover too (considering we heard it in an elevator!).
Gryph

My Mistake playing in the chemist today....after someone sitting in the doctor's waiting rooms mobile phone rang and their ring tone was I See Red
