Coworkers Music

Every time I hear that song I want to put on a yarmulke and a fake beard and sing it right.

My coworker plays stuff like Rob Zombie, Nickelback, and stuff like that. The moment she leaves, I start playing The Weakerthans, and all the pent up rage of suffering through that rubbish is flushed from my body.

Luckily both of my workplaces don't completely go for that. Payless (yeah, shut up) plays mostly newer pop music. We get our fair share of Justin Timberlake and Fergie and that kind of thing, which I guess isn't much of a step up from Michael Bolton. Bath and Body Works, however, will usually have some pretty good CDs that mix up artists like Michael Buble and the Beach Boys with some instrumental/techno stuff and, of course, Justin Timberlake. Because everyone seems to love him.
Next time I work at both places I will pay closer attention to what we are listening to. Usually I just tune it out.

I consider myself extremely lucky - I work for a tech/media company, there are a LOT of nationalities there, and most of us (in my circles, at least), have complementary tastes - I've picked up a lot of great stuff I'd have never heard before, and have managed to spread the word of some Irish bands. In fact, a few of my friends were either music journalists in their home countries, or write part-time for local music magazines.

Ahh, but do we actually live in a civilised world?
I'm lucky in that I have my own office and can choose what to listen to - my mp3 player is on non-stop. I seriously don't think I'd be able to work without music.
