In-flight live music

Just after take-off and a few minutes before landing. That's a crazy idea of a musician friend of mine. It's not allowed of course but he asked me to ask people how they would feel if an airline offered a few minutes of in-flight live music. I think it's too difficult if not impossible to do on commercial flights but perhaps on a private flight it's possible. hmmm, I must admit that it's fun to imagine it. Flight attendants playing Mozart on the violin and other musical instruments before landing in Austria. That sounds so... Hollywood! Movies are definitely the place this idea can work well :)

headphone ear swab

what about having your ears cleaned while you listen to music? weird, no? I don't know if the product exists but cleaning the ear must make absolutely no noise to distract you from the music. it can sell like any other silly gadget that's in the market. and hey you never now how helpful it can be. for example if someone's ears are too dirty he might hear the music better after they're cleaned. if that's not possible it'll be fun to promote it like that anyway :D:D:D

Bar Broadcast

When I'm in a bar and the DJ plays new music I hear for the first time it be nice to somehow know what song it is so I can look it up later. Since most DJs use laptops these days, they could be broadcasting song info using bluetooth and the people in the bar can instantly receive and save the information in their mobile phones.

Embarrassing noises in public restrooms

Everyone knows of the embarrassment of which I speak. You have gingerly walked into a public restroom with an uncontrollable urge to liberate that which can no longer be left in bondage. You take your place among the many seats which are given, however, just as you are about to give in, an innocent bystander walks in. He himself feeling the same urges for liberation unknowingly takes a seat within a distance that both of you are uncomfortable with. Now the pain of silence sets in, who is first to fire? Solution:

Although some public restrooms attempt to get around this problem by playing music, etc. the music which they play may drown out the noise to some degree but it is not enough to ease the situation. Therefore, I suggest a different kind of music for public restrooms...let's call it bathroom break music.

Imagine a recording of all the great noises that come from bathrooms played over the loud speaker--the beautiful harmony of flatulence, urine and defecation pouring forth. The users are suddenly at ease, no longer can they distinguish their own noises from that of the music.

Choose the music you like while on hold

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to choose the music You like when you are put on hold? An automated system that allows companies to give customers the choice to listen to any music they like when they are put on hold would be a nice little innovation.

Lyrics are the key to good music, not just melody or tune

I was looking at a list of songs from all genres of music that have stayed popular to this day. They all have great melody and tune, what we call music! But I noticed that all of them also had amazing lyrics, lyrics that speak to the heart and soul. I think that if music is another way to express inner poetry tuned in melody, then lyrics are the key to the all time success of a song with good music.

Pop songs these days have either too few lyrics that get repeated too often or no lyrics at all. No wonder they will stay number 1 on the charts for a short while and then be forgotten. Not all music that comes out is bad, but music with good lyrics is rare I think.

What do you think? Have you ever wondered why it is that you like to play some of the songs on your ipod more often than others? How often do you sing or whisper the lyrics of a good song you like?

If you are a singer, or you would like to become one one day, shouldn't you also try to write your own lyrics as well before you rest assured on your good voice only?
