Let's see, about me - I'm an educated (but lowly-degreed) 20-something woman living in South Florida. I am highly familiar with music, youth subcultures, and women's issues. I'm slightly familiar with American history, Electronics, Judaism, and India. I'm vaguely familar with...well...everything else. I love good food and drink, but indulge in it infrequently. Oh, and I'm Black (partial Jamaican heritage) for what it's worth. But most importantly, I'm pretty open-minded...so ask away!

Anything from Queen's Greatest Hits album.

Does anyone have really good (and very slow) "love" songs? Thanks in advance. (link)

"Always and Forever" by Luther Vandross. That song is pretty darn slow. You can watch a baby grow into a toddler at the pace that song is played.

Okay, I'm going on eight years of playing the clarinet, and I still have the same clarinet. I've heard that Buffet clarinets are really good, and I haven't really heard much of any other brands. Does anyone know a really good brand that's fairly inexpensive, as I'm on a limited budget? I don't want to ask the people at work (I work in a music store) because they're most likely to want a profit from it, and will tell me that anything is good. I thoroughly despise ANYTHING Yamaha, as they mass produce everything that they make and don't take as much time and care with any of it, as far as I can tell. Any suggestions?

If you're looking for a wood clarinet that is not so 'pricey' check out the LeBlanc Galaxy (which is like $650) or the Buffet E-11 ($620). Personally, I like Yamaha products in that the intonation on their instruments is quite consistent. But we all have our preferences :-)
If you're looking for a plastic clarinet, many people seem to like Selmer and Vito.

I am a news junkie, and I listen to NPR in the car instead of music. I've noticed that I am incredibly ignorant about music.
I want to seem hip about the music scene. How can I do this without actually dedicating my life to finding new music?
Love,

If the goal is to just find out about the 'newest' pop stuff, I would hit up the compilation section of Best Buy. The "Now.." series comes out about 2 or 3 times a year as a mix of the popular stuff that is topping the charts. But if you don't want to listen to the same thing a 16 year-old girl does, there are other options...
1) Read the music section in "New Times" or "City Link".
2) Watch VH-1 (mostly retro stuff, but some new bands get showcased)
3) Go to the All Books & Records shop in Searstown right where Federal meets Sunrise in Ft. Lauderdale and ask for suggestions from the short, young talkative guy
4) Check out the music section on Amazon.com. You can even check out sound samples
5) Ask your friends what they listen to.
6) Check out the Music section of MSN which is here: http://entertainment.msn.com/Music/Default.aspx?did=1&
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of a lot of brand-spanking new groups. Nothing is wrong with still digging whoever you used to love when you were younger. They don't seem to make music like they used to. Good luck...and you know where to find me if you have any more questions.
