NoMuzak Campaign

As we head into the shopping season, I've decided I'm going to wage a one-man-war against background music because I'm heartily sick of it. The deal is this. If you play background music in your establishment, I shall leave and refuse to buy anything from you. This applies to restaurants, pubs and bars as well as shop, supermarkets and malls. The exception is if you have an actual musical performance going on. So Ronnie Scotts is fine, but Robin Thicke in a Next or even Lianne De Havas in a hip Hackney bar is not. And don't get me started on Bing Crosby in the Pre-Christmas Tescos.

We'll see how long I can keep this up!

To make the protest fully authentic, I will also be pausing my music player while doing internet shopping.

This is where I fantasize about an aerosol product (MuzakOff) in a convenient pocket size for spraying a quick setting foam over the loudspeakers in lifts and toilets.
