#muzak

Tonight, we’re drifting through a cathedral of commerce, a sanctuary of pastel polos, hairspray, and unbridled consumer optimism. This is the sound of the 1980s promenade. We’re starting with the energy of the morning door-buster sale, cruising through the mid-day rush, and winding down to that liminal, lonely feeling when the security guard keys the final lock.

So, grab a seat by the fountain, don't worry, the spray is turned off for the nigh, and breathe in that recycled air scented with floor wax and faint perfume. Let the nostalgia wash over you.

The mall is closed, but the music never stops.

The sound you make is muzak to my ears

(How Do You Sleep?, 1971)

PLAYBOY: "Do you listen to the radio?" LENNON: "Muzak or classical. I don't purchase records. I do enjoy listening to things like Japanese folk music or Indian music. My tastes are very broad. When I was a housewife, I just had Muzak on, background music, 'cuz it relaxes you."
