  1. Dear #American #retailer playing Mood Media's latest summer schlock
    #playlist stream as #Muzak in your store:

    Playing Martha and the Vandella's Heat Wave is way too fucking on the nose.

  3. Nothing ominous about hearing music from #TheOmegaMan (1971) playing over the local grocery store's loudspeakers... The tune in particular was "The Theme from 'A Summer Place' by Percy Faith. It's used in the Omega Man movie in a scene when Neville (played by Charleston Heston) is attempting to relax in his penthouse apartment, while outside, survivors of a "vampire plague" chant his name and laugh at him, holding burning torches.

  5. Ik snap echt niks van die Nederlandstalige muziek, die tegenwoordig Edisons winnen, zoals #Bente, #Maan, #S10 en #Froukje.

    Vinden jullie daar wat aan?

    KI-Generatoren wie #Suno erzeugen Songs ohne #Komponisten und #Künstler. Die Folgen für die Musikindustrie sind dramatisch. #Musiker stehen vor der Frage: Was bleibt, wenn #Maschinen ihre Songs produzieren?

    Sehr oft, eigentlich fast immer, werden Wortbeitragsvideos mit imho sinnlosem/r Hintergrundsound/-muzak unterlegt.
    Bin ich der Einzige den das komplett *nervt*, auch wenn der Content noch zu verstehen ist?
    Sehe einfach null Sinn darin.
    Also Umfrage:
    Hintergrundsound/-muzak die mit dem Inhalt nichts zu tun hat oder keinen offensichtlichen Zweck erfüllt.

    erstaunlich wie #MarkOwen in seiner bemerkenswerten rede auch noch gegendiese ekelhafte #muzak anreden kann. war das eine musikalische untermalung von #trump ??

    hier die rede zum nachlesen:

  17. Some people are saying #muzak lives on as #smoothjazz. Not all smooth jazz, mind you - just enough to make you want to never get in an elevator ever again.

  19. I'm so old I remember #Muzak in the elevators at work. Hell, did you know they released some of that annoyingly calming shit on #vinyl? I know, because I have several discs.

    Unopened.

    Gives you some idea of its popularity.

  21. @cmccullough I'm not close to anyone in the FIRE movement. Good acronym, as they seem content with wiring the infrastructure that extracts the equity out of everyone else's hard work, transferring the spoils of entire industries to those setting them on fire.

    I just know those that have squirrelled enough away to buy a pickup and a camper. Stopping here or there for a shower/shave and checking on the PO Box from time to time.

  22. Heard Bowie's Sound & Vision playing in a shop. One half of me is still dismayed that we pump pop into buying spaces whilst the other just drifted into the tune and back to hearing it for the first time. #Bowie #music #MusicAsMuzak #Muzak

  31. ARD Morgenmagazin: "Für die Texte auf seinem neuen Album hat sich #Joris jetzt noch mehr Zeit genommen."

    Anders gesagt: er brauchte diesmal länger, um sich wieder neueres bedeutungsloses Geschwaller auszudenken, nachdem er schon mehrere Alben mit beliebtem Sprachmüll produziert und erfolgreich verkauft hat.

  32. Is there a worse fate than having the wait #muzak for the low income mental health place I use stuck in my head after hearing it twice in one phone call?

  33. I understand the criticism against #Spotify for providing playlists with bland faceless background #muzak that they don't have to pay royalty for. But I don't understand the user behaviour that enables this scheme, where people ever dial up background muzak from Spotify. My main way of using the service is to listen randomly to my 1500 favourite non-bland non-faceless songs.

  35. "For more than a year, I devoted myself to answering these questions. I spoke with former employees, reviewed internal Spotify records and company Slack messages, and interviewed and corresponded with numerous musicians. What I uncovered was an elaborate internal program. Spotify, I discovered, not only has partnerships with a web of production companies, which, as one former employee put it, provide Spotify with “music we benefited from financially,” but also a team of employees working to seed these tracks on playlists across the platform. In doing so, they are effectively working to grow the percentage of total streams of music that is cheaper for the platform. The program’s name: Perfect Fit Content (PFC). The PFC program raises troubling prospects for working musicians. Some face the possibility of losing out on crucial income by having their tracks passed over for playlist placement or replaced in favor of PFC; others, who record PFC music themselves, must often give up control of certain royalty rights that, if a track becomes popular, could be highly lucrative. But it also raises worrying questions for all of us who listen to music. It puts forth an image of a future in which—as streaming services push music further into the background, and normalize anonymous, low-cost playlist filler—the relationship between listener and artist might be severed completely."

  37. I dag sad vi og snakkede om hvor meget umådelig dum, lav-lix pop der bliver produceret i danmark - topgun, Emil stabil Rasmus Seebach, pattesutter, osv osv.
    Min kone kom forbi og konstaterede tørt: jamen du hørte jo Roben & Knud da du var ung og dum. Og hun har jo ret - hver generation har sin pøbel pleaser fra laveste hylde.....og nu kan jeg så ikke få alle de gode gamle Roben og Knud sange ud af hovedet
