Topic “Muzak”
Muzak in the 21st Century
20 Nov, 2001
Driven to the brink of madness by the muzak filtering through my closed office door at work, it occurred to me for the first time to see if the Muzak company has a web site.
They do, and (not surprisingly) it’s at Muzak.com. I don’t know why I find this amusing… probably because for all the talk they have on their site about “the power of music” and their providing music for millions of people everyday, they don’t mention the part about stripping it of its heart and soul and making it as plastic as the products on the shelves of the stores it’s playing in.
Seriously, I don’t know if they use Muzak™ brand muzak where I work, but one day I actually heard a flutey instrumental of the Foo Fighters’ song ‘Big Me’. Now, this isn’t one of the Foo Fighters’ heavier songs by a long shot, but it doesn’t deserve to be lobotomized like that. Nothing does, really.
