You know your a musician when your bobbing your head to the free form jazz in the elevator.  Do you guys catch your selves doing that? -------------

| The elevators in my building do not play muzak, but the local grocery store pipes in '60's classic rock. I can tell you, when I was young I never would have thought I'd be buying produce while Light My Fire was playing in the background. Feel a rant coming on so I'll leave it at that. |

Where do you get elevators that play free form jazz? One of the weirdest things I heard on "muzak" was a Talking Heads song at a grocery store in the early '90's I think. I don't remember what it was. Maybe it will come back to me.

In my building they went from classical chamber music to 60s pop and now to the 70s. The bad part is getting a song I detest stuck in my brain simply because I had to visit the head. Styx is about as close to prog as the muzak ventures. Mostly it's disco garbage. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |

Well any radio station or other music source that plays the same song everyday every hour sure it'll get repetitive. -------------

I know! OP, do you not realize what free form jazz means? Because elevator muzak is smooth jazz like Kenny G, not Albert Ayler... ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

My elevator music doesn´t exists at all but, can we expand our ears to train, or other kind of vehicles background music? ------------- The water rushes over all cities crash in the mighty wave; the final man is very small, plunging in for his final bathe |

I am only on one elevator, ever, and it has no music. I will say, however, that the hold feature on our phones in the hospital are tuned to some killer classic jazz fusion. Occasionally something cheezy comes on, but I generally enjoy the little monophonic jazz break I get.

I did hear a muzak version of Your Move/I've Seen All Good People in some department store once. It sounded like the immortal Zamphir. ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow"> https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |
