Mall Music Muzak - Mall Of 1974 (direct link for playlist https://archive.org/details/MallMusicMuzakMallOf1974)
I'm reminded of this music as I'm seeing crap on Facebook claiming the average WEEKLY income in 1973 was $873,) which for some reason or another the post creator (Brave New Films) seems to have only blithely ignorant posts showing and anything dissenting not show up without viewing as 'All Comments,' and I was looking for someone to point out the obvious (if $873 was average, it would have been based on the average of extreme wealth inequality, whereas most people were probably fortunate to get $200 per week.) The average yearly income was closer to $8500 (about $165 per week which may not even include taxes.)
Some people with family connections might make around $15 per hour starting out which sounds similar to today's dollar figures, though such jobs were usually not common, and even then some people who grew up during those times seem to still not recognize the obvious differences in how the income is skewed severely from earlier generations.

Decent music (though admittedly I was looking for the creature that showed up in the movie Dogma, referred to either as a Turd Golem, Shit demon, or turd goblin, though it might actually be called https://villains.fandom.com/wiki/Golgothan
