Whoops! Brandenburg.

Who wrote the Beandenburg Concertos then?

The music they play in supermarkets usually sounds like some poor woman wailing at being tortured. Why do they think that will encourage us to spend more? It makes me hurry out.

It wouldn't be so bad if it was actually background music, but it rarely is. Wouldn't object to the Beandenburg concertos and stuff like that, but that rarely is either hmm

Am I alone in loathing piped so-called music hammering away through speakers [usually to my immediate left or right] in bars and hotel restaurants? At breakfast time, the same repetitive thump, thump, thump, ya, ya, ya, from dinner, the night before, continues to bore into my head like a woodpecker on class A drugs. No sooner do we leave the row behind than we walk into a shop/supermarket and are treated to a re-run. Couldn't someone, somewhere, realise that there are other forms of music to be enjoyed.
