While filing last months email messages I came across the below exchange, in which I first learned of the existence of the ‘screamo’ genre… rereading the chain made me smile and got me thinking that I should really get your opinion on subgenres in music today.

Everyone in this town has an agent
When the boy-bestie told me he had an agent (and one that he was having dinner with no less) 3 months earlier he said i couldn’t laugh. I told him it was too late, there was diet Dr Pepper coming out my nose already. This from the guy who doesn’t trust agents outside of the […]
EPIC FAIL: Saving Jazz ’09
1 year later… I just came across this in my filed messages. Wondering why Jazz is in such dire peril these days? I’m sorry to say it’s all my fault. I blame West Indian Girl’s awesomeness, yachting of course and San Diego’s Street Scene summer music fest. See below for a better explanation. PS: As […]

FYI freebird-violator: all the nepotism in the world won’t pardon not knowing that freebird is a once in a blue moon cameo on your work playlist anywhere in the music industry. Covering with your band on open mic night or blasting in your car is fine, but don’t do it on the job where some […]
