recent sic alps music credited with upswing in christmas season spending

the sic alps, famed bay area “noise” rockers, have been almost single-handedly credited with the tremendous swell of christmas spending this season. most smart retailers have begun to continuously play a loop of the band’s 2009 output (found by clicking the picture of the group above.) this seems  to entrance consumers into spending more money that they make or have hopes of being able to account for in their budgets for years to come.

wilma varnody of pendergrass, kentucky was asked what it was about the music that had convinced her to fill her cart at wal-mart with over $6,000 worth of soon-to-fail electronic gadgets. I think she said it best, when she simply stated, “there’s a groove to this music. it makes me want to power our economy to the point where our enemies become enfeebled and our allies smile with joy.”

beautiful music, indeed.
