Embrace the earworm — The Latest on APN — June 4-10

While Generation Z has finally discovered the awesomeness of Kate Bush (thank you, Stranger Things), we're noticing a handful of throwback songs getting stuck on repeat in the brain. At the APN office we've been trilling about pairs of roller skates to the tune of "Brand New Key" for weeks. And let's face it, we're gonna be running up that hill all weekend. 

Thank goodness the network crew has this week's playlist ready to go — pop in those buds and fear not the earworm; science says it might be just what you need in the moment.
