The Soundtrack of Your Life | The New Yorker

Working at Muzak sounds like a blast!

“The first time I explained to my mom what I do for a living, she said, ‘They pay people to do that?’"

There's a certain General Memetics quality to it.

The Well includes seven hundred and seventy-five tracks recorded by the Beatles, a hundred and thirty by Kanye West, three hundred and twenty-four by Led Zeppelin, eighty-four by Gwen Stefani, a hundred and ninety-one by 50 Cent, and nine hundred and eighty-three by Miles Davis. It also includes many covers—among them, versions of the Rolling Stones’ song “Paint It Black” by U2, Ottmar Liebert, and a late-sixties French rock band with a female vocalist (who sang it in French) and approximately five hundred versions of the Beatles’ song “Yesterday,” which, according to Guinness World Records, is the most frequently covered song in the world.

A few years ago, Tom was looking for covers of Paint It Black.

Have you tried The Well?
