City turns off Muzak for a taste of Seattle

Did I hear recently that one of our sites was in the midst of launching a local music effort (it's entirely possible I dreamed it...)? And Santa Cruz has an annual battle of the bands, yes?

Here's an idea on putting that music to another use (and a Web page to accompany it). What better way to reflect that we are a community newspaper than by entertaining those in the phone queue with local music?

Then again, perhaps the sheer torture of some lower-quality local music would push more people online to use our new self-service classifieds....

Either way, it's a win.
