Torture method #80: 80's music for 12 hours a day
 

I know how compassionate and caring you all are, so I figured that you'd like to feel my pain.

Appropriately enough, 'King of Pain' by the Police, which isn't too bad, is playing at the moment.

...got interrupted while posting this, and now 'Drives me Crazy' FYC is on.

I begin to wonder if I'm being watched.....

...did you see 'Stranger than Fiction?' or 'the Truman show'?

must be all this belly fat, cuz i'm feeling demented at this point.


I'll keep you posted

:unsure: :crazy:

Is the music piped in from a corporate control center? Do you have a volume knob, or some way to place a physical sound barrier between you and the speaker, or are you subject to the overhead sound system that plays throughout the whole place? Have you considered earplugs?

I graduated HS in '83, college in '87. I am a true 80's child. But I gotta say, they can take most of the music and the fashion from that time and put it in a capsule and open it up again in, say, the year 2587.

There are some good songs. I still like Hall & Oates, and Sheena Easton ;)

i could turn my itunes on and drown it out. i could close my door. i could sneak up and change the channel. I could do all of theses things. or i could suffer with it and amuse you with my whitty commentary. what can i say. i'm a giver.


Uptown Girl......Billy Joel is a Tool

You're the kind of guy who puts chip-clips on your nutsack, aren't you?

no.

Reeowr! Don't get snippy with me now, Nancy.

Do people spend more money when the 80's music is piped in? Is it the Musak of our generation?

lumberjim spins them right round, baby right round, like a record baby, right round round round.

Because their friends don't buy cars, and if they don't buy cars, then they're no friends of mine.

Actually, I was wondering the same thing Glatt.

Like how they pipe in upbeat techno type music into high end fashion clothes stores...

That reminds me. When I was wandering around LA a few years ago I went into a pretty scary CVS and on their Musak they were playing "Stars" by Simply Red. I hadn't heard that in years, and always loved that song. Now I notice it's piped in a number of places, and I hear it all the time. So, perhaps you're right glatt.

My first tape was Madonna's Like A Virgin!!

I have every song memorized word for word....


She is still one of my very favorite artists.

I think my first tape was Ratt - Out of the Cellar.
