What is albertsons? What is tool?

 

[Kim Chee]

Not long ago I was in one of those grocery stores where mostly wealthy people shop ('cuz it's so damn expensive). The music being played?

Rick James, Superfreak:

 

[Tude]

Oh wait - did Tool get that new music out there??? oh no, not yet. waiting ....

 

[Rob Nothing]

it really does feel like there has been a rip in the time space continuum when you hear good music in the ceiling while you are grocery shopping. It's like.. drinking from a canteen you think is full of water, and it's whiskey. wait, what??

 

[Mankini]

you think thats traumatic?! try hearing "prison sex" a cappella.

 

[Rob Nothing]

no!!!

 

[Mankini]

this is what i get for coaching small children to sing Drowning Pool.

 

[Matt Derrick]

you do realize that eventually all the music we grew up with is going to be on the oldies station, right?

 

[Mankini]

oh heavens no they just cant. can you imagine waiting at your dentists office, humming softly to "head like a hole" or "mudshovel" sans lyrics...and then maybe with a perky, disco beat tacked on?......i think ill just get in the fetal position and soil myself now.

sigh, my eventually is here - says this person who still loved the bars filled with disco ... bars were total fun in the late 70's/early 80's. One bar called 747 was in the shape of the new jet back then - spongy floors, disco balls and puffed in smoke and me in there with my fake ID oh and the bee gees (hehe) ... yep bars were fun back then. Although my listening preference nowadays is metal - I do have some disco dvds. hehe used to entertain my late night bar customers when the bar thinned out and I had dancing going on.

@voodoochile76 check out Bitches Ain't Shit accapella on you tube... girls in tennis duds doing NWA ( correction it's a cover of Ben Folds covering a song from Dr Dre's The Chronic - brilliantly subverts a load of sexist bollocks)

I heard a Muzak version of Nirvana in an elevator in SF last year. Kinda freaked me out.

 

[Mankini]

oh. oh. facebook says it 'owns' your pics and content and then Sony buys rights for nirvanas stuff and sells them to clearchannel. there is a childrens pop music series called KidzBopp....i wonder...

 

[Mankini]

Yessss!!!!!!! Also Nina Gordon has redone Straight Outta Compton and say N----r. several times! gasp

Now I'm just imagining turn on my radio to-
"And that was Faith No More's classic track Cracker Hitler. Next up were taking you all the way back to 1999 for that classic Blood For Blood track Livin In Exile".
If this is already happening, then the radio has changed drastically since I've been listening.

 

[Mankini]

Lol it wasnt radio per se at the store in question: I was so stunned I talked to the employees about their Muzak: its corporate controlled loop playlists that HQ sends them every 2 weeks or so...it seems that a corporate entity called I <3 Radio has been monopolizing the Muzak sector of late.
