Need music for a retirement party


Recommended Posts

So at work we have 3 people who will retire in a month, we are planning a little party in one of our conference rooms. It will just be cake, coffee and about 100 people.

 

I was given the task of providing some background music, mostly because nobody else wanted it... ugh

 

Anyways, I have no idea of what music to play, can I can some suggestions from the community? Thanks!

 

By the way, this is a professional environment and will have people ranging from friends and family, to department staff, to big time executives.

Anything by Napalm Death.

If you really want to send them out in style, I'd go with Amon Amarth. Just so they know they are going out in style, ready to ride into Valhalla like true vikings.

Or you could play it safe and do some Hall & Oates, Lionel Richie, Just anything soft rock from the 80s is a good choice for any occasion.

An adult alternative station on Spotify or Pandora would probably good a decent choice.

Thanks, i want to setup my own playlist and know what is going to be playing. But i think i am going to use spotify and pandora station to give me ideas of songs to get. Thanks for the thought!

 

definitely adding that song to the mix. Thanks!

 

Play this for the duration of the meeting.

 

 

lol, the meeting isnt long enough to get to the end of the song :P

I actually do not like the original at all. Like the stuff by Evil Activities quite a lot. But! I was joking. Being serious now, I think some balearic downtempo will be perfect. Can't go wrong with that:

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
