Music geeks like myself will likely enjoy Sound Opinions, a weekly Chicago radio talk show hosted by Greg Kot and Jim DeRogatis, rock critics of that city’s Tribune and Sun-Times, respectively. It’s meant to be the rock equivalent of what Siskel & Ebert used to be. Good stuff. Streaming audio’s at the web site.

Yay music geeks! I always enjoy getting all the different takes on things this time of the year - what was considered the "best-of-the-year" - what c.d.'s I must have in my collection, or what would be good to give - etcetera.

I had the pleasure (?) of meeting Greg Kot when I was in college, in a "writing about music" class. I admit I despised the man at that point for trashing every show I ever loved, and was ready for a rumble...but after meeting him, in person he was just a guy that really loves talking about music and respects the people that disagree with him, because at least they have formed their own opinions. Rare.
