Na na na na come on...
So I've started working at Beyond the Trapdoor, & so far its been pretty damn sweet.
More of you need to come visit me. =P
Sometimes when it gets quiet, the mirror is my friend. I sit in front of it with a deck of cards & practice my sleights of hand, & correct my angles, & tweak my misdirections, & try to polish up my overall performance.
Now I don't know if its by fluke or something, but the days that I've put Mix94.5 or 96fm on the radio, sales seem to have been very quiet. The days that seem to have people walk in & have a browse a little, & purchase a few things at once, have been when 92.9 or Nova93.7 have been on. Thing is, the people who have made purchases don't really come across as the pop radio types, but I suppose I can't really just assume eh?
I wonder if its just the subliminal vibes of the type of music that's playing, & how it affects people's shopping patterns. I mean, most shops tend to play either commercial radio, or the really annoying, brain numbing house music. Personally I tend to cringe & try to avoid shops especially if the music is more like the latter, but shops don't want to cater to me, they want to cater for the masses. Perhaps the 'old' music that I like listening to just feels too comfortable, like a lazy drive in the car down the coast, or a cruisey afternoon lounging around smoking cigarettes at home, & that's not typically a weekday shopping vibe is it? There must be something about the perky, upbeat, bubblegum poppy beats that force you to tap your feet, & reach for your wallet or purse.
Perhaps I'm just reading too much into it, these past 4 times I've been in here. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. I'll keep experimenting, & keep you posted on my non-scientific findings. So far air conditioning doesn't seem to be doing much to entice people to walk in on hot days, but then I find that on the hot days, there is not much foot traffic outside on the street anyway, & that is understandable. I mean, I don't even want to stand near the half opened front door on a hot day...
So anyway, back to the radio.
What started me on this post was Rihanna's song, "S&M". The lyrics go something like "the pain is my pleasure, cause nothing could measure", & "the affliction of the feeling leaves me wanting more...". The chorus goes "sticks & stones may break my bones but chains & whips excite me".
So my question is then Rihanna, was it really Chris Brown's fault?
(Yes, this is a double edged question.)
