Get the Aerobics musicmug. Background music that promotes easy conversation by being non-invasive enough to cause interruption, but having enough gravitas to cover lulls in conversation.
Often multiple songs can play without listeners realising a track has changed.
Has the added benefit of keeping one entertained whilst in a dull conversation, without betraying their boredom.
