YOU ARE A TAR-ZHAY MARKET

It’s pretty amazing how ambient music has evolved.

And here I don’t mean “ambient” as a specific genre or subgenre. Rather, I’m just talking about the music they play in public while you do stuff.

This afternoon in the men’s room at the Westin Alexandria, they played La Femme d'Argent by Air.

And the day after Christmas at the Potomac Mills food court, they were playing World Shut Your Mouth. Which is the most awesome choice of songs to play at a mall food court, for post-holiday Americans wallowing in obesity of body and spirit.

Most. Awesome. Choice. Ever.

Ambient Music Selecting Geniuses, I want to shake your hand.

I want to consume, piss quickly and efficiently, avoid the urge to shoplift, consume more, and then shake your blessed hand…
