Tin Pan Alley a la 2008?

Posted by admin
October 12, 2008

Ok I hate media player ads, they come on when I boot up my putter, annoying and today was the day I dive into my registry on an hunt down and terminate once and for all mission. But wait… what ad did I get today that had me creasing up? It was an ad for Rhapsody along the lines of.. Financial Economic down turn, get fifteen of the most depressing albums to go with your mood or some thing along those lines (ironic that I can’t get that ad to pop up again, cat n mouse springs to mind). That really did tickle me and Id rate that as a successful marketing ad, how ever, Im still committed to that search and destroy pop up ad, if any one can tell me where I need to look, Id be grateful cos I cant find it :0(

But I did want to touch upon the economic down turn as Im seeing some similarities with The Great Depression of the 30’s. Tin Pan Alley of course is synonymous with that period of time. instead of music publishers I see rows and rows of ecommerce types all bashing out their latest websites, ideas for making a buck, a pound, krona? (seriously annoyed when you type in Iceland into google the first result is the supermarket, I rather think Iceland the country should be weighted as a little more important, but that’s a whole other blog for another day, and a curious quote from Google’s CEO Eric Schmidt”The internet is a “cesspool” where falsehoods reverberate in increasingly louder waves” is this irony?)

So Ill leave you with some food for thought on how future historians may one day look back at this time of our 2008 economic crunch. Lets bring the 1930’s depression into a 2008 context.

“Many mortgage lenders approved loans for borrowers without carefully examining their ability to pay. Many borrowers took out loans larger than they could afford, assuming that they could sell or refinance their homes at a higher price later on”. Bush 24th Sep 2008

and …

Lets bring out the old time songs…
“Brother can you spare a dime” becomes “dude, can you spare some bandwidth”
“It don’t mean a thing if it aint got that swing” becomes “Ajax dude, more ajax!”
“All of me” becomes “Dude, Im so EMO today”
“Are you making any money” becomes “Dude, conversions suck!”

Historians of the future will be confused about us women, like the above example… so not much change there then!

Finally, with the Iceland financial crisis happening, US and Britain in economic crisis, I believe I speak for our nations when I say, some times I wonder who really is in charge of our financial state of affairs?
Some thoughts…

“Me love cookies”


“What do you mean? Mums gone to Iceland”


“ I’m not dumb in fact I’m a multi million dollar figment of your pr imagination that can shop my way to aid economic stability”

I would have more confidence if I thought these guys were in charge Skippy and Flipper (love the “dubbed an” aquatic lassie” reference

It’s safe to say that the economy is screwed for the time being…maybe we should employ the help of these two: one loves to count (and actually can) and the other loves…well…cookies. What’s more is that they learn to co-operate! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=u7hTkzEwFZ0

Toooooo funny, yup…. Luke, I agree!

I’ve just had quite a disturbing moment watching that You Tube clip. The Count suddenly reminded me of Michael “there’s something of the night about him” Howard so then I’m thinking well which politician could cookie monster be? I could only come up with John Prescott because of all the eating (not very PC I know) so now I’m watching a Sesame Street clip with Michael Howard and John Prescott, now where did I leave my pills?
