| Why does most new music suck? How's about everybody listens to whatever the freak they want to listen to and nobody passes judgement on their tastes?There's a lot of great new stuff out there, and there always will be, but I'm not going to stop listening to my favorite old mus... | |
| Why does most new music suck? I listen to contemporary musicians but find it absurd that I wouldn't listen to artists who have disbanded or died. Geez, my main man is Beethoven and he has been dead for nearly 300 years. This past weekend I listened to two albums (CD copies) p... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Don't mistake technical prowess for artistic merit--ask those kids to do something original and good and then see what happens. The ones who can produce something imaginative and with "staying power" are not necessarily the same ones that can "pla... | |

| Why does most new music suck? Gustav Mahler, at a concert which featured new music of Arnold Schoenberg, was asked his opinion of the piece. "The younger generation," he declared, "is always right."He went on to say he in fact did not like the piece himself, but that was not t... | |

| Guitar Prodigy Julian Lage That is fine playing in the Django style. I had to stop after several minutes because I couldn't stand any more verbalization from (I presume) the guy with the camera. I thought the other player was excellent as well.You might check out, if you do... | |

| Where to buy a Sgt Pepper Album Cover? SPLHCB comes with an insert with a pic of "Sgt. Pepper" and "badges." It's just small enough to fit in the sleeve."The Beatles" (aka the white album) comes with a photo of each Beatle and a poster. | |

| Dynaudio Audience 8 To clarify, I did not mean to imply the Audience speakers I heard were not good--they were. But the Contour line at the time seemed such a step up in quality that it's hard to compare the two. Also a step up in price, so it all makes sense.I felt ... | |
