Own a bodega or small supermarket purely as a musical experiment where you play unorthodox music to shoppers.
- just play an obnoxious song literally all day as people pick out their items. “woaahhh whoaa!” “That’ll be five..” --- “whoaah woah!” --- “dollars” or just some deeply depressing dark ambient tracks. On Christmas play the same Christmas song (ideally one with high pitched elf voices), but offer the most competitive prices.
We’ve just settled on a type of commercial music in retail spaces. Come to think of it there’s an interesting inversion happening here too, with all of that liminal/vapor genre stuff where it is latched onto and becomes a bit Weird and creepy. Many songs are applicable to play in a supermarket, but we have a scripted type and now everything else seems odd.
