\"Squeeze<\/a>There is no doubt that I picked up Squeeze’s Argybargy after hearing my friend Adam’s copy. I’ll have to ask him how he got into Squeeze. Argybargy is one of those albums that I rarely listened to after the end of The Academy Days<\/em>. I can’t say why for sure considering how much I liked it then. My cassette probably got eaten and that was that until I replaced it on Compact Disc.<\/p>\n

The really cool thing about playing an album to death then putting it away for a very long time is that when you listen to it again, it triggers some kind of reaction in your brain. Right now, I’m remembering, feeling even smelling memories fromThe Academy Days.\u00a0It is a really cool sensation. A psychic connection to myself in 1982.\u00a0 I wonder if this phenomenon has an official name.<\/p>\n

The Argybargy<\/em> album didn’t include what would become their biggest hit stateside but I really enjoyed every single track on it. As a public service, I let you know that Argybargy is a term used to describe a lively conversation like a dispute or arguement. Try saying Argue<\/em> with a Scottish accent. It comes out Argy.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Adam continued his love for Squeeze. Over the years following the end of The Academy Days <\/em>and Space Mountain<\/em> he would occasionally send me video tapes of his adventures. Invariably, you could hear Squeeze in the background.<\/p>\n
