Susie had a crazy celebrity encounter in LA, and it made her year. We learn how one man's OCD was cured through a violent act, and what it can teach us about the disorder. We find out whether old people find other old people attractive, and Susie thinks it says something about self-esteem. We talk about how language is changing because of the internet, why we all speak more similarly now, but the changes happen more rapidly. We discuss a man who was "terrorizing" a town, but really it was probably just one lady in a paper plate mask. Work from home made us awkward and now people aren't taking showers or brushing their teeth. Susie explains the history of Muzak. And we learn why girls don't play baseball and it's infuriating. Plus, we play Bingo with our commonly occurring behavior, and it's hilar.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comJoin our Candy Club, shop our merch, sign-up for our free newsletter, & more by visiting The Brain Candy Podcast website: https://www.thebraincandypodcast.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Stacy and Eric start the episode with some follow up from past episodes; but HOLD please, first they need to talk about Muzak, weepy dentist office music, the hunky-dancer-guy-with-a-dog movie, and fish tanks. They also workshop ideas for dentist office ceiling distractions and ponder why Oral B and not A? The episode is filled with convo bombs including Eleanor Rigby and Stitch as Elvis. Speaking of iconic performers, Eric talks about Battersea's recent show. Somehow Canadian snack talk leads to a Gilbert Godfrey impression and talk about Dil Pickles. Hear me out, it's a fun episode!

Send us a textHappy 2025! I learned many songs that I like in the Vietnamese repetoire are actually covers of Cantonese and Mandarin pop songs. In doing the research, I was surprised how some of these Chinese songs were in themselves covers or inspired by other songs (generally Japanese). I also learned how many famous bands started out as cover bands, including the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.

Ho Ho Ho Basementeers...Here we go with one of the many Christmas shows we have to offer from the Basement.The songs we have, have an easier touch if anyone who might want to hear that rock n roll, well here's your easy alternative. 

"Hollywood" Steve Huey, co-creator of the original "Yacht Rock" web series and featured interview subject in HBO's new movie Yacht Rock: A Dockumentary, joins the podcast to further discuss the complicated relationship between the music of Steely Dan and the genre of jazz-inflected soft rock that has been retroactively dubbed "yacht rock."

Prompt er inviteret til Spot Festival i Aarhus for at tale om den revolution, vi står overfor inden for musik med AI. AI-tjenester tilbyder at skabe en hel sang med vokal og musik - alene ud fra en prompt. Marcel og Henrik tester de nye AI-værktøjer og diskuterer, om der overhovedet er en fremtid for original musik. Tidligere var det radiokanalerne, der introducerede os for ny musik. I dag er verden styret af playlister, playlister, playlister, som ofte er AI-skabte. Vi får besøg af den legendariske musikjournalist Chris Cooke, der har dækket teknologiens indvirkning på musikbranchen i årtier. Med ham skal vi vende den rolle, algoritmerne hos fx. Spotify spiller i opdagelsen af ny musik. Er det pengene eller kvaliteten, der styrer, hvad der rammer vores personaliserede playlister? Optaget d. 3. maj 2024. Værter: Marcel Mirzaei-Fard, vært og Henrik Moltke, tech-korrespondent. Gæster: Chris Cooke, musikjournalist, Jakob Plesner, direktør for IFPI, DJ Noize, DJ og producer, og Nicolai Franck, Tech Scout hos Koda.

In this episode Jeremy and Tim walk us past the velvet rope and into opening night at Studio 54. They introduce us to Steve Rubell and Ian Schrager, the two businessmen who owned the club, as well as to the often overlooked Carmen D'Alessio, who's taste and art world connections were crucial to the look and feel of the party. Through these characters and more we get to learn about the founding of Studio 54. We also hear discussions on Muzak, eclecticism, returning champion Nicky Siano, and the aesthetics of ‘smoothness'. Tim and Jeremy interrogate the surprising links between Downtown and Midtown, explore how journalists tried to understand the Studio 54 phenomenon, and contemplate whether they even like disco anymore. Produced and edited by Matt Huxley. Tracklist: The Ritchie Family - Brazil  Anthony Whyte - Block Party (A Walter Gibbons Mix)  Chic - Dance Dance Dance  Santa Esmeralda - Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood 

Brenna and Joe are dismayed to hear from listener Dann that (of course!) the Muzak we're been hearing on Skins isn't what originally aired.

When you think about shopping, what sound comes to mind? It might be the carts rolling up and down the aisles, or maybe the beeps of the scanners when you're standing in the check-out line. Music might not be the first thing that crosses our minds, but it's almost always in the background of our shopping trips, and it can have a surprising impact. From how long we stay in the store and how much we spend while we're there to how we feel about it afterward, sound plays a pivotal, and often unnoticed, role in our purchasing decisions that we're still working to understand.If you think about it, using music to change the way we think and feel about an experience isn't all that surprising. Whether we're soothing babies to sleep with lullabies or marching into battle with drums and horns, sound has always helped give shape and texture to our daily lives. In modern times, that's meant music at work and out in public, such as the Music While You Work radio program that ran in the UK until 1967 or the “Muzak” that filled American department stores and elevators in the 1950s. But the science of sound has come a long way since those early days, and the commercial soundscape has become much more sophisticated. What does the latest research say about the influence of sound on our spending habits? Can sound even be used to turn us into more responsible shoppers?During the heyday of elevator music and workplace radios, there was another famous – or, perhaps, infamous – approach to using sound as a marketing tool. That tool was subliminal advertising, and it only became possible over the last century, as vocal recordings and sound editing allowed secret messages to be layered beneath an audio track or “backmasked” into reversed snippets hidden within the melody. Those subliminal messages, the thinking went, could cause unsuspecting moviegoers to crave popcorn, or even turn ordinary teenagers into rebellious rock-and-roll fans.The good news for free thinkers is that subliminal advertising never really worked that way. Reversed audio doesn't create any sort of subconscious suggestion, and, while soft, layered words can leave a faint impression on listeners, it's actually a weaker effect than just saying the words out loud in an ordinary commercial. If you're curious about the rise and fall of subliminal audio, check out this short video from Cheddar about the fake study that started it all:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DU-eUcXcaqkWe might not be able to use hidden messages to boost soda sales, but sound does motivate us as shoppers in ways that we hardly notice. Music can have a powerful effect on the brain, such as lowering our cortisol and stress levels when we listen to a soothing song, and a 2010 study found that music also releases dopamine in the brain. This came as something of a surprise to researchers, since it means music activates the same sense of innate pleasure as food, money, or even love.Sound has a much deeper impact on us than we realize, and a UK study in 2022 showed that different genres of music lead to different behavior when it comes to shopping. Pop music motivates people to spend more and to make more impulse purchases: 37% more people were likely to try a new hairstyle in a salon that's playing pop music. Other genres have their place, though, as 31% more diners ordered the most expensive menu items in a restaurant that played classical music. The only sound that didn't have any upside for businesses is silence: according to a consumer survey conducted by Luxury Academy last year, 67% of shoppers would leave a store that isn't playing any music.Want to hear what shoppers think of store music? Here's a short video by the Irish Music Rights Organization that interviews customers on the street, including a surprising number who make their shopping...

Come we now once again to the end of March, a time of madness, the gathering crescendo of a great tourney, the end of a road upon which many set out, but only a few traverse entire.Since we first published our second annual Hell Gate March Madness Hot Take Bracket earlier this month, the public has been in understandable general uproar. Families have been torn asunder, bar brawls are up an astounding 237%, and Eric Adams was so shaken to his core, he found God (again).The bracket provoked conversation, discussion, takes about the takes, and a metadiscourse about chopped cheese that we're now even sorry we started.But now the takes must battle it out! From these 64 exemplary competitors, only one will win. So we've put together some hot take bracket-ologists, who also happened to author the hot takes, to get to the bottom of the hottest take of all, previewing some of the spiciest match-ups, But now the takes must battle it out! From these 64 exemplary competitors, only one will win. So we've put together some hot take bracket-ologists, who also happened to author the hot takes, to get to the bottom of the hottest take of all, previewing some of the spiciest match-ups, like:If you live within a 15-minute walk of a restaurant, you should not be allowed to order delivery from it (5) vs. You should only be able to order delivery from restaurants within a 15-minute walk from you (12) Andrew Cuomo should be mayor, it's a proper punishment for his misdeeds (7) vs. Bill de Blasio is a catch (10) The Carbone private dining club looks fun and I would appreciate an invitation (7) vs. If you live in an apartment with a dog and it barks for hours every time you leave it alone, your neighbors are not in the wrong for complaining to your landlord (10) If someone on the street asks you for a dollar, and you pull out your wallet and all you have is a $20, you must give them the $20 (5) vs. If you see someone selling candy on the subway, buy some candy (12) Those nut vendors should be banned for false advertising (they're not that good) (2) vs. Clipping your nails on the subway is fine but EATING on the subway is not (15) There should be a thing where on every subway car, one person is algorithmically selected to be able to share their phone screen onto all the video screens in the car (4) vs. If you actually want me to compost, I'm gonna need a City-sponsored coupon booklet or a tax write-off or some other incentive. Until then, my food waste is going in the trash! (13) Flaco should have lived out the rest of his life in a cage the size of a minivan (3) vs. All the animals in the Central Park Zoo should be freed and allowed to roam the streets of New York City, like Flaco (14) The MTA should play piped-in Muzak in subway stations (7) vs. Weed is too strong and New York state should pass a law to make it weaker (10)Who will be victorious? Will we even announce a winner? Possible not! Even so, we felt it was time to bring back the now-irregularly-released Hell Gate Podcast! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this series, now named "Journey Through Muzak with Andy,” I will be sharing my top 10 favorite albums released each year! Starting with 1965, and continuing all the way to the present year. Today, we will talk about my top 10 favorite albums released in 1968. Here is a timeline of what was going on in music back in 1968 from Rock Music Timeline: https://www.rockmusictimeline.com/1968 "The rock musical Hair opens on Broadway. 500,000 march on Washington DC to protest the Vietnam war with musical support from Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, John Denver and Peter, Paul and Mary. ​The Beatles, Donovan, Beach Boys singer Mike Love, actress Mia Farrow and others travel to India to hang with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Gibson introduces the Flying V guitar. The final episode of the Monkees TV show airs on NBC in the US. In December. Elvis Presley's comeback special airs on NBC.

Yes, we need to make a living.  But how do we make a life?  It might not simply be about the money.  When the world is in turmoil, when our health is at risk and the future seems murky, perhaps paychecks and productivity aren't enough. Perhaps we can't manage our way into the future.  What if we created the best job someone ever had?  What if we built an organization people would genuinely miss if it were gone?  What if the work we did made things better?  Mozart, not Muzak.  This is the Song of Significance This interview with Seth Godin, author of 21 international bestsellers that have changed the way people think about work, is about how we, in business, can do better.  How we need to do better.  In 2023, Seth published this very important book, The Song of Significance: A New Manifesto for Teams, which was an urgent call to action for us all to rethink work, management, and leadership.  Both in how it's all practiced and what it's all even for.  Seth, has influenced an incredible many in business and marketing myself included, and I believe he has long already been a champion for embedding meaning into the work we do.  To make something people remark on, you must push yourself to make something remarkable. The focus isn't on attracting customers, but rather, on building community around what you and your organization stand for.  Trust and transactions aren't best bought but rather built and earned through servicing what people need.   This book, however, takes a much broader look at business–explains the rather dangerous pathway we are on, but in simple, yet profound maxims and short stories offers us a pathway forward.                           In this conversation, Seth and I discuss the perceived problems at hand with business, business culture, and work–and sort through the various nuances of remedying those issues to create a better, more meaningful future.   Specifically, we explore how industrialization has bred a race to the bottom culture in business where it's margins, not meaning or service fueling the engines of our marketplace.  We explore how we need NEW entrepreneurial idols – and what mainstream business misses about the Henry Fords, Elon Musks, and Zuckerbergs of the world.  And most importantly, Seth shares how we can do WORK WORTH DOING both for ourselves and for our communities.

What's the best way to usher in the New Year? On this week's episode, legendary voiceover artist Bill Ratner shares a true story from his early days in Radio: When his green card bride Claudine leaves him, he's alone during the Holidays in an empty double wide and his evening shift duties at KJOI (LA's easy listening music station). So when a fan requests something a bit more intimate than the Percy Faith Orchestra, why not make her happy? And on New Year's Eve, they produce their own live show together over the air waves, using the station's 50,000 watts of power to make the world a bit less lonely.  And Dixie ends the year with the story you've been asking her for. #HappyNewYear   Song: ‘Love's A Stranger' (Warhaus)   New Year l Radio DJ l Drive by Fucking l Anonymous Sex | Music Request Line l Radio Antenna l 1970's l Lubrication l Harlequin Romance Novel l Top of Topanga Mobile Home Park l Double Wide l Vaseline l Instrumental Radio l Muzak l Muumuu | Terrycloth Bathtub Animals l FM Transmitter l Top of the Hour l Station ID l Honda Civic l Radio Console l Blinking LEDs I Percy Faith Orchestra l Middle Age l Smog l Order Up a Man l Microphone l Los Angeles l Happy New Year l Divorce l Radio Tower l Lawrence Welk l Green Card l Quell l Radio Station l Marriage l Swiss l London l LA l Radio Announcer l Chief Engineer l Sales Manager l   About our Storyteller:   Bill Ratner is one of Hollywood's premier voiceover artists and a published poet, essayist, and fiction writer.

Join us for a fun episode as we chat with Ben Vaughn about the art and pitfalls of the Mix Tape, a passion of Bill's and mine. We talk about why we do it, the selection process, transitions, the dreaded fadeout, and the outrage of some devices jumbling the song order thereby ruining—ruining, I tell you—our genius segues. We also discuss old radio DJs, song dedications, teenagers, and nostalgia. Ben talks about how he selects music for his radio show, The Many Moods of Ben Vaughn, his latest project with Relay Shack Records, and a special show he did with the Geator of old-but-never-before-heard song dedications. Lots of laughs.

Before ChatGPT took the world by storm, wowing users with its prose-writing prowess, most people knew chatbots as those annoying website pop-ups that offered basic and not always useful customer support. Even before chatbots could pass the Law School Admission Test, customer service was moving toward greater automation, often in an effort to cut costs. Human agents are an expensive and finite resource, causing those long, Muzak-filled waits and limiting service hours. So will the current artificial intelligence boom push humans even further out of the customer support game? Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Christina McAllister, a senior analyst at Forrester who works on customer service research and strategy. She says: “Not so fast.”

Continuing a conversation from EP142, Derek looks at the cultural damage done when musicians co-opt musical styles to promote their own propaganda, which is often at odds with the social struggles of the oppressed class that created the music. After briefly investigating the history of reggae through the lens of indentured servants from India, he discusses artists using two genres—reggae and hip-hop—in such a way that strips the original intention of the music of all value.-- -- --Support us on PatreonPre-order Conspirituality: How New Age Conspiracy Theories Became a Health Threat: America | Canada Follow us on Instagram | Twitter: Derek | Matthew | JulianOriginal music by EarthRise SoundSystem

We've all been there -- you're calling a bank, a loan company, you name it, and boom: you're put on hold. But where does that music come from? In today's episode, Ben and Noel dive into the strange origin story of telephone holding music. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
