    Yo.

    Thank you. I don't really write music. I play a little, but I've never written a whole song. I do write novels with a lot of music references in them, though.

    Do you think modern Pop Music is ruining societal moral values?

    What I wanna know is, when was everything so great? People like to point to the 1950s, when everything was shiny, and everyone had family values, and everything was perfect... but only if you were white and middle-class in the suburbs. The often violent racial atrocities, the criminality of...

    The Weakness of Jazz

    Okay, there are a bunch of different types of jazz. Many have vocals. I highly recommend Billie Holiday if you're curious. A lot of the jazz that doesn't rely on vocals (swing, bebop) is complex and exciting and sophisticated in ways that would be ruined if you switched all of the focus to a...

    Trying to enjoy some electronic music with my eleven-year-old. Need suggestions.

    I listen to a lot of music, and I mean a lot. I love tons of genres from tons of eras, but I've never been all that into electronic music. There have been plenty of exceptions, songs and artists that grabbed me over the years. I particularly enjoyed Daft Punk and Fatboy Slim back in the day, and...

    What do you consider good music?

    There's some great classical music out there, and sounds from around the world worth hearing, but I absolutely love contemporary Western music. Over the last hundred years or so, there have been too many great songs, albums and artists to count. From early jazz to the myriad of genres available...

    The 20 Best Songs of the '90s ?

    You really asked three questions there: best songs, most iconic songs and most frequently mentioned songs, which are all different things. So, my list consists of the twenty best songs that all deserve a spot on any '90s playlist (in my humble opinion). I limited myself to one song per artist so...

    Who's your best jazz musician of all time?

    Even though Satchmo and Coltrane were the greatest innovators of their respective generations, and despite the fact that I can barely sit still to Benny Goodman, my actual favorite artist of all time in any genre is Lady Day, AKA Billie Holiday. A lot of people prefer Ella because she had a more...

    Yo.

    I'm Rzero. I'm new, obviously, and I'm looking forward to talking music with other fanatics. This should be fun. I love music. I always have. I was watching MTV by age five and asking for Michael Jackson tapes instead of toys. My three favorite artists in this exact order are Billie Holiday...
