Title: Enhanced Interrogation
Post by: JonFromMaplewood on October 22, 2009, 02:52:03 PM: Music used by the U.S. for purposes of enhanced interrogation according to the Freedom of Information Act (according to this pdf):

Not sure how anything by the Stanley Brothers got on there, and how "Casey Jones" by the Grateful Dead did not get on there.

Post by: yesno on October 22, 2009, 02:57:03 PM: I hope they've limited their FOIA request sufficiently. There are endless government reports, documents and internal communiqués that reference "Meow mix jingle." Those bureaucats can't stop talking about it.

Also I see Don McClean. I wonder whose side the CIA is on with regard to the Breckman feud?

^^^

I thought I had a typo when I saw I wrote "Don McClean." But it turns out that's what in the document, not Don McLean. Maybe it's a jingle composer.

Post by: wwwes on October 22, 2009, 03:45:19 PM: I can't believe Matchbox 20 is on there. What, was there no Dave Matthews Band or Hootie & The Blowfish on hand?

And in God's name, what James Taylor song did they use? I can't think of any of his songs that wouldn't make me sleepy.

Ha --also, no Sublime. That'd work on me.

Post by: KickTheBobo on October 23, 2009, 03:50:39 PM: with the exception of the Meow Mix Jingle and Deicide, I'm pretty surprised at how bland this list is. I always figured that they would use really abrasive Nurse with Wound/ Whitehouse type stuff, rather than songs cherry-picked off the FM dial.

Post by: yesno on October 23, 2009, 03:59:17 PM: I agree with KTB. I think I'm going to put together a mix CD for the CIA and Army psyops.

They should just play the entire Merzbox.

Also, they could probably just show them this album cover. Yeesh.

This sounds like the work of a FOT: "A small but especially vocal contingent tirelessly lobbied for the inclusion of at least one selection from Steely Dan's 1977 tour de force Aja, preferably the song 'Peg.'"
