Hang in there Threshold!. I know for the first week or two I can't listen to any music at all because its a trigger. It seems slowly I start to lose that feeling and now most anything is fine. Still have a hard time with ZZ Top, and Bob Segar for some reason though. I hope it improves for you because I agree music is a big part of life for me. You could throw out the tv but leave the stereo alone (and the computer and the I-Pod)!
