How can I appear more educated about music?
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,
Sapphire

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: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location);
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.
