Would any of you be so kind as to rec a "guide" of sorts? For example i saw a reasonably priced Penguin Guide to Jazz at a nearby record shop recently. Is this a reasonably reliable source? Or should i seek out another one? Granted i realize that none are perfect or all-inclusive, but perhaps some of you could rec some that are better than others. These days i use allmusic.com. Its not terrible, but i'd like a coffee table book or two to supplement it. I imagine i would get alot out of something like that.
The All Music Guide has been really helpful to/for me, because the people who review for them tend to know what they're talking about. Plus, it's online and pretty exhaustive.
Being 23, most of my peers are a waste of time for discovering new and interesting music. Generally they are more interested in MTV than ICP, for example.
Well, the Insane Clown Posse isn't everyone's cup of tea. skip h
