I always wonder what people are listening to. I miss the good old ghetto blasters on the streets.
A few times I discovered music that was new to me by hearing someone else playing while walking somewhere. Had a few great talks about music after asking who they were playing.

Umm, yeah, except that this whole video was captured in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Doesn't qualify as 'random cities'.
