| recovering_jersey_girl | Posted – 10/8/2007 10:21:46 PM | show profile I have nothing to say a/b Muzak...just bumping this b/c of the spam on the board. |
| mad fingers | Posted – 10/9/2007 12:23:49 PM | show profile mmm...spam and muzak now there's a room in hell. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 10/9/2007 1:24:07 PM | show profile Do actual musicians record Muzak or is it a one-man lounge singer kinda guy with an electronic keyboard? |
| crimedog | Posted – 10/9/2007 2:01:20 PM | show profile Muzak was originally recorded by orchestras - then small groups - now electronically. Pay has always been low for this stuff. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 10/9/2007 5:41:41 PM | show profile Thanks, crimedog. Always wondered that. Ever see the scene in "Airplane" where a few of the characters are waiting for an elevator and when the doors open, Muzak blares out at 110 decibels? |
| mad fingers | Posted – 10/9/2007 5:57:13 PM | show profile Actually, in addition to creating original content, Muzak now packages licensed music and pays royalties to "real" musicians across a broad spectrum of genres. |
