It's interesting that there aren't any roller rinks over there. It seems like the kind of thing that would be all over the place, but after a little Wikipedia research it sounds like they might be mostly an American thing. Apparently the inventor of the quad skate (the kind in the picture I posted) is actually from my home state. I had no idea!

It would be stuff like Best of Cat Stevens, Lisa Ekdahl's self-titled debut (swedish singer/songwriter), Eels' Daisies of the Galaxy or the music from Hair (the musical) which I have a difficult relationship with even today. I never thought it made for good cafè music!
There was also Beastie Boys (The Sounds of Science Anthology), The Cult, The Cure and various norwegian rock like Gartnerlosjen in the rotation, some of it played at high volume after closing hours when we were doing dishes and cleaning the place.
Stuff like Eels' Daisies of the Galaxy is basically music that I like, but it feels like I've heard it enough to last me a lifetime and I'm still tired of it!
One of my GF's favourite albums was Massive Attack's Mezzanine. We used to listen to it while .. you know. It was pretty sweet to have a GF at 18 as a 16 year old
