apriorion Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 There was a story on NPR recently about surveillance trends in society, and it ended with "New Seeds", appropriately enough. http://www.npr.org/blogs/parallels/2013/10/16/232181204/are-we-moving-to-a-world-with-more-online-surveillance Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80936-online-surveillance-report/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyrex Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I heard that too! Brought a smile to my face when I heard it.

apriorion Posted October 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Yeah, as far as I'm concerned, BOC is one of the two bands I like who deserve to be played as most NPR outro tunes (the other is Tortoise). Stories about current events which confirm my paranoid tendencies, even better. Now that I think about it, I'd rather that NPR not use BOC for the end of a Diane Rhem show about grooming your pomeranians or whatever. But most "All Things Considered" stories are appropriate.

Joyrex Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 They play the SHIT out of Bonobo on NPR - it's like they have a hardon for his music to use it in interludes between stories...

Yeah there's a post-rock band that gets played a lot too - Album Leaf maybe...? NPR has a pretty good music website - and yet All Things Considered bumper music is more often than not sounds like subpar Ninja Tune-esque lounge music. The kind of stuff that makes middle-aged liberals feel hip but in reality is only listened to by fedora wearing quasi-bro nerds.

Stereotypes? Yes. But stereotypes based on fact. I was quite amused that "New Seeds" was used in this: http://youtu.be/tUyK8tD5ExI Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide joshuatxuk's signature Hide all signatures Tape Escape!
