I have this bad habit of reading the news each day recently. The trouble is there is a certainty of deaths in afganistan, terrorist horrors, supressed peoples, aid workers attacked helping to relieve the suppressed, oil disasters destroying wildlife and people’s livelyhoods, cost cuts in all services, I could go on, probably I have done so already too much but you get the picture.

So maybe its time for a blues revival? Matching the feeling amoungst the world today. It seems to me you are likely to need some good blues if you are so angry with the world you want to kill people, or you are so supressed you have lost hope and are looking for desparate ways to make yoir mark on the planet, or you are a humble trader fighting poverty either through world recession, natural disasters or human made. Either way, I take my blues hat off to you.

I discovered a new cafe recently. It seemed a great cafe, good coffee, great food, nice people and great music! In fact the music was quite interesting, a mix of The Stranglers, The Cure and Coldplay. Great I thought. Except each time I went back the music was the same!

Ok I loved the music but it would be great to circulate the playlist a little. Maybe the guys changed the music each day and I picked the same day they were playing that playlist, but no.

Anyway, lovely cafe but a change of playlist a bit more regularly I think would make customers more likely come back more regularly.

Customers are more comfortable with regular refreshes of music rather than accepting your atmosphere relies on the exact same music playlist each day, day after day.

Guy.
