| What's your sound?
I'm writing a book about music. It's effect on our culture. It's affected us more than you will ever know. Our whole history, from the slave trade to civil rights to the LA gang warshas been affected by music. It inspires us, enlightens us, just as it can bring us down or make us forget who we really are. It has a power over us that can't be explained simply by chemicals and mathematical properties, and shouldn't be. I love music. It's my life. I drink it, breathe it, live it, die by it. It's the spice of life and makes everything sweeter. I love it in every way shape and form, the good with the bad- from reggae to Van Halen to that oh so sweet Irish sound, I love it all. But not everyone is so broad. What's your sound? |

| My music is so disorganized, cd's strewn about, bursting cd holders, it looks somewhat like Florida does right now. | |

| Rap has high points and low points. It's done some seriously bad things. Ken Starr can kiss my ***, but rap has hurt. Not all rap though. I love Ice Cube. | |

Ice cube? never heard his stuff...

| Primus Tabs? It's okay I guess but I don't really use it. I've seen people try to use it off the computer and it's nearly impossible. I can usually listen to something and after about four seconds I've singled out the beat, and after that I can pick it up fine. You just kind of have to know inherently when to play. After that, what chords to play is easy to figure out. How well you play them is more of a challenge. | |

| Add the Eagles and I say you got yourself a nice group. And possibly something folkish, like Credence Clearwater. | |

Do a Windows Media Player search for "Jem They" and click on the first match if you have high speed internet. And you care.
I think that's the only song she has out. | |

| There's an underadvertised (quartet? trio?) of female classicists (is that a word?) named Bond. Women know more about it than men, but it is so James Bond- They have albums like "Classified" and songs like "Explosion" And if you listen to them, you can't not think of Bond. | |

Maybe sometime. | |
