the music in my store

ok. so. stores all over the country have terrible music. that kind of goes without saying. our store's radio channel isn't the worst i have heard ( cause at least they don't play that awfulll elevator music) but it is by no means GOOD. every now and then, i notice a good song playing. some highlights include:

  • strange condition by pete yorn
  • africa by toto
  • assorted classic rock songs
  • counting blue cars by dishwalla (shut up. such a good song)
  • the middle by jimmy eat world
there are also a TON of hilariously nostalgic songs that play on our store radio, such as:
  • wannabe by spice girls
  • mmmbop by hanson
  • breakfast at tiffany's by deep blue something
and then there are just the terrible terrible terrible adult contemporary songs that i hear adnauseum. like...its really bad when i start singing along with these songs. there are also songs that i just hate. a lot of them, i have no idea what they are. like there is this song that i could only describe if i made an audio file of me singing but it is SO bad and i hate it so much.

how hard would it be to make a store radio station that like, is slightly hip but not aids for the ears? i mean i know all that crappyass market research about the certain "beats per minute" in songs that makes people buy more, but COME ON!

sorry.
