Groove is in the heart....

I'll listen to just about anything, except I must say that country and heavy metal SUCK. I wish MTV would get rid of all their lame shows. If you think Kurt Loder and Tabitha Soren don't give you enough music info, take a look at Music News of the World. Also, if you like singing along with the radio, go to The Lyrics Page. Want to know about upcoming concerts? Ticketmaster can help. Back home, I listen to The World Famous KROQ. These are some bands from my CD collection (which grows constantly, thanks to the conveniently located Newbury Comics in Harvard Square):
