WOLFGANG SPEGG – MUSICMUSICMUSIC INC MU5.FNM: TWST

That’s business-to-business product number two. Business-to-business product number three is a competitive product to the Muzak(r) products where we stream music into industrial locations, restaurants, office buildings, etc., but in a totally randomised fashion, so that they do not have to listen to the same program day after day, hour after hour because the Muzak(r) product is mainly delivered on CD and they play the same 90 minutes of music over and over again for two weeks.

We deliver a never- ending randomised stream and the ability for them to insert their own messaging, whether that’s a promotional message,amotivational message for factory, informational message for railroad station or airport.

The little restaurant/cafeteria downstairs at work was recently sold and is under new management… the new owner seems like an affable guy who’s eager to please and attract some customers back who had given up on the place from before. I think he’s recently changed the programmed music subscription to something that’s like what’s described above (in all it’s RIAA-compliant smarminess).

Apparently he’s going to some rather creepy lengths; I was in the dining area watching headlines on CNN and not really listening to the canned music they play constantly. Suddenly there was a burst of “announcement” fanfare and a male voice said confidently,

 “How may customers have you served? How many sandwiches have you made? Staying on task with your hourly goals is the road to a job well done!”

Later, there was another fanfare, and the announcer said something about “Are you looking for more recognition? your annual review is coming up, schedule it with your manager soon!”

It was beyond creepy. But I left feeling compelled to get back to work making more sandwiches and scheduling my annual review, so there must be something in it.
