Three-Tune Tuesday: The Reditune Doctrines

9 days ago (Edited)

I glared at the box with hatred and fury. Could I distract Mort long enough to smash that vile piece of hardware into small pieces, and stuff them up his arse?

Maybe not the second part, in fact, that's a huge shudder. Mort was a chunky bloke and while not fat… if he's still alive, I am quite sure he will now rank amongst the British obese honourees.

His arse... well let’s move on from my ex-boss’s arse, and back to the point of this post, music.

...'The Reditune tape player, a most evil effigy, deliberately designed to torment and ensures the prolonged suffering of musically attuned Kwiksave Stock Lads'... - Source

The box was black, rectangular and silent. This was because I was in Mort's office, and while he was hell-bent on emotionally breaking me with the sounds of endless tinny, cheap cover songs on the shop floor, there's no way he would be subjecting his ears to that repetitive pile of humdrum, monotonous shit.

What's brought this on, you might ask?

I did like @bozz’s recent theme of songs that suck, or in my case severely overplayed whether they are terrible or otherwise, and that sparked an idea.

Stevie Wonder – I Just Called to Say I Love You (The Woman in Red – 1984)

1984? I was quite sure this was earlier and sometime around 1980, but my memory fails me again.

Just a few days ago, this horror of a song started playing in @bingbabe's car, sending me spiralling back in time to the days of Dire and 'the Horrors'.

Dire, having attended the recent Kwiksave Managers Course ‘How to Break and Psychologically Damage your Stock Lads with Extra Cheap and Shit Cover Music’ had purposely acquired this song in an extra cheap tape deal in order to torment me.

@grindle will attest to fact of these training courses and that they did exist, mostly held in Welsh to cut down on negative English propaganda via the press.

Dave Dire, while being able to speak in just English would have had a translator present and been forced to sign a non disclosure agreement or the threat of demotion to 'Stock Lad'.

While I love Stevie, I cannot listen to this piece of sickly sugary-coated crap any longer. Sir Duke, MasterBlaster, Superstition, even 'Isn't She Lovely' are all decent but this.., NO.

Linx – Intuition (Intuition – 1981)

1981, that is more like it. Mort was in his full stride and halfway to breaking my will and spirit. I can still hear that awful jangly riff followed by the repetitive lyric 'Intuition'.

I see the lead singer was David Grant, who had a successful solo career later and a duo with Jaki Graham three years later, 'Could It Be I'm Falling in Love', which is quite sickly, but I can abide it.

So, nothing personal, David, but 'Intuition' stinks, and now I am going to have to listen to it forcing those dark memories back into my brain.

I can see and smell the back shop once again, littered with empty boxes, cages full of cardboard, and smell the decaying jam with fruit flies clouding the tops in swarms. Oh, the joy of nostalgia.

Shakin’ Stevens – This Ole House (This Ole House
(Marie, Marie) – 1981)

Sticking with 1981 where my most ferociously evil memories lie, comes this wanker with a cover of a cover.

Let me make it plain, I fucking hated Shakin' Stevens, the original artist never mind these twats that were making an extremely poor cover, and endlessly tormenting my musical mind.

If you are non-music person (yes, they exist), then maybe this form of torture would be ineffective, but for me, a soul who is greatly aligned with harmonies and rhythms, this was low even by Mort's standards.

Day after day, I was hearing…

‘Ain't got time to fix the shingles’
'Ain't got time to fix the floor'

I was in severe ear agony, and day after day of relentless Shakin' Stevens was taking a toll on me. Having done a little research, I am guessing the 'black box' was a product of Reditune (Rediffusion).

The tape played continuously, consisting of 20 songs, each being 3 minutes long or so. Within an hour, it was finished, only to start again. I was there 8 hours a day, so I had to endure each one 8 times per day, 5 days a week.

That's 40 'This Ole Houses' every week. Can you see now what this does to a person?

@bingbabe works at Tesco, and every time I visit, I hear music. It's not cover music, it's hosted by Tesco Radio, and is their very own channel. What a great idea not to try and damage your staff. She even says she likes the music played.

Mort and Dire would have never allowed this. They wanted me to be a mindless drone and to fill the shelves, supplying me with endless pallets of Jam. It almost worked.

If this post makes no sense at all then read this series. It's long, hard and gruelling but at least you will know what fuck I am talking about.

My ears must have been spared Linx, not so much Stevie Wonder. Many stores still pump out these old mushy songs not sure if prerecord or radio, did not ask, get in and out fast!

I quite like Stevie, he's a hugely talented bloke, but the song has been wrecked. Even if I wasn't ear tortured during the Horror years, I could never see myself liking that one.

Shakin' Stevens was a British act, so you may have been spared.

A Wake-Up Call: Accountability and Redemption in the Hive Ecosystem

To those who believe their actions on the Hive blockchain go unnoticed, it’s time to confront the truth. The power you think you wield through downvotes, vote farming, and manipulation is an illusion. True strength lies in doing what’s right, not in exploiting systems for personal gain or silencing others out of fear.

1. The Illusion of Power Through Exploitation

If you’re downvoting critics, running coordinated farms, or hoarding influence to control rewards, ask yourself: What does this say about your character? Manipulating Hive’s reward system doesn’t make you powerful—it exposes vulnerabilities. It shows a reliance on unethical tactics to feel significant in a space that was meant to empower everyone equally.

But here’s the reality: these actions won’t bring lasting satisfaction. At night, when you’re alone with your thoughts, do you truly believe what you’re doing is right? Regret has a way of lingering, and no amount of HIVE tokens can silence the voice inside telling you there’s a better path.

2. The Ripple Effect of Your Actions

Your choices don’t just harm Hive—they affect the people around you. Your online friends may follow along now, but loyalty built on shaky foundations crumbles quickly. And what about your family? Do they understand how much energy you pour into behaviors that ultimately hurt others and yourself?

Every action has consequences, and the deeper you dig, the harder it becomes to climb out. You’re not just harming Hive—you’re pulling those close to you into a cycle of negativity and regret. Is it worth it?

3. Change Before It’s Too Late

The Bilpcoin team isn’t here to attack individuals—we’re here to spark change. We’ve seen the evidence, and we know the impact of manipulative practices. But we also believe in redemption. There’s still time to step back, reflect, and choose a different path.

Ask yourself:

What legacy do you want to leave on Hive?
How will you feel years from now looking back at how you treated others?
Wouldn’t it feel better to contribute positively rather than exploit and divide?

Hive deserves better. So do you.

4. Strength Lies in Doing What’s Right

Real power comes from integrity, not manipulation. Instead of focusing on how many tokens you can farm or how many users you can silence, consider how you can add value to the ecosystem. Create meaningful content, support genuine contributors, and advocate for reforms that benefit everyone—not just a select few.

If you continue down your current path, remember this: you are being watched. Many stay silent, but they see everything. Blockchain data doesn’t lie, and accountability always comes knocking—whether today, tomorrow, or years from now.

5. A Final Plea: Fix What Needs Fixing

It’s never too late to change course. Stop the farming, stop the toxicity, and start contributing to Hive in ways that uplift rather than tear down. If you’re struggling with why you’ve chosen this path, take a moment to reflect. Seek help if needed—there’s no shame in admitting you’ve lost your way.

The Hive community is watching, waiting, and hoping for positive change. Will you rise to the occasion, or will you let regret define your journey? The choice is yours.

From the Bilpcoin Team: We’re committed to helping Hive thrive by exposing the truth and fostering transparency. Let’s work together to build a stronger, fairer ecosystem—one where everyone has a chance to succeed.

What will your next move be?

Addressing the Downvote Issue on Hive: It’s Time for Real Change

Marky Mark Stop the manipulation game Lady Zaza Bpc AI Music

Let’s cut through the noise and address one of the most pressing issues holding Hive back from reaching its full potential: abusive downvotes. The Bipcoin team has consistently exposed the systemic problems that stifle growth on this platform, yet little to no action has been taken. If Hive is to thrive, we must confront these challenges head-on instead of engaging in empty discussions that lead nowhere.

Hive cannot grow if nothing changes. How can new users and smaller creators flourish when they are constantly suppressed by those who exploit the system? Many so-called “whales” contribute nothing meaningful to the ecosystem—instead, they focus solely on farming rewards through manipulative tactics like mass self-voting, spam content, or coordinated downvoting campaigns. These actions discourage genuine participation and erode trust within the community.

Blockchain transactions don’t lie. We’ve seen firsthand the shady methods used to game the system—whether it’s creating alt accounts to amplify votes, orchestrating downvote brigades, or hoarding influence without giving back to the network. Why does this behavior continue unchecked? Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words, and until concrete steps are taken to address these abuses, Hive will struggle to move forward.

We have repeatedly presented evidence of these practices, not to divide but to demand accountability. The truth is out there for anyone willing to look at the data. Yet, despite our efforts, the cycle persists. Today, we’re asking again: Can we finally talk about the real issues plaguing Hive? And more importantly, can we take decisive action to protect the integrity of this platform?

Do not let bullies destroy what makes Hive special. Abuse of power through downvotes and manipulation harms everyone—creators, curators, and the community as a whole. It’s time to fight back against these toxic practices and create an environment where all voices can be heard and rewarded fairly.

The Bipcoin team remains committed to exposing the truth and advocating for meaningful change. But we can’t do it alone. Together, let’s push for solutions that ensure Hive becomes a place of opportunity, fairness, and growth—for everyone.

Enough talk. Let’s see action.
