The Roach Days<\/em> were probably the time in my life when music was the biggest thing going on. Sure we did other things but generally, we listened to music most of the time. We had MTV on, or played stuff from our rather large music collection, had parties\u00a0or played our guitars. It seemed that the tunes were a big part of our daily bread.\u00a0 I suppose I still have music on all day in my office. It is different though. I usually\u00a0don’t listen to the kinds of things we’ve been talking about here. In the office, music is a good buffer to combat the distractions of office sounds but it has to be a certain kind of music. We’ll discuss that in detail pretty soon.<\/p>\n

What I’m talking about here is a seemingly constant dose of pop music and the like. In album form, mix tape or over the air waves and cable. The Roach Days<\/em> never seemed to be without a kicking soundtrack.<\/p>\n

Wham! – Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go<\/em> – As a Metal Head, I was compelled to not like Wham! but you have to admit there is something frolicish about this that you can’t hate.
