Lost in Sound is a monthly exploration of music that includes everything from hip-hop to electronica to pop and all the sub-gen­ res in between. It's part history, part pop culture and part opinion. Open your eyes and ears--you might learn something!

Welcome to the very first edition of Lost in Sound. This is a monthly column for everyone who has ever been asked, "So, what kind of music do you listen to?" and used the tired response: "Uh, everything." I do it, too. It's an easy fall back response for a difficult question. But you'll notice ho'W differently people react when you say, "I like lo-fi stuff like Pavement and Modest Mouse." Or, "I lis­ ten to a lot of old-school funk likr James Brown, Parliament and Sly and the Family Stone." Suddenly you'r/ more than a person who likes music, now you're an expen. B11t name-dropping isn't everything ... Each month, I will explore a different/genre of music, including its history, influence on pop culture, major bands it spawned and anything else I can dig up. If you're bored with your CD collection, this is a column for you. Hopefully it will spark a few ideas and maybe you'll discover an artist or style of music you'll really love. I don't consider myself a music expert, just a fan of good music, and I hope you will enjoy reading this as much as I like writing it.

In die

Every aspiring musician knows you've got to start somewhere to make it in the music industry. If you're lucky enough to make an album people dig, the next step is to get signed to an independent label-unless you're in a "boy band" and are automatically ushered into a major label recording studio. But if you're anything like the rest of the world, you have to work your way up the musical food chain. Almost all of today's biggest rock bands started on independent labels: Smashing Pumpkins started off on the indie label Sub Pop before they went over to Virgin Records, even mega-band U2 start­ ed small at CBS Records before they were signed to Island Records. But what if you're a band that doesn't want to become a part of a major label? Much like the hipster who chooses thrift stores over the mall, many rock bands that formed in the early 1990's felt that going the corporate way would be selling out, so . they stayed in the underground scene on smaller labels. Nirvana's surprising mainstream success in 1991 contributed to a resistance among bands who didn't necessarily want their music played on the Quality Apartment Living radio. lndie rock is one of the most popular forms of independent music, but bands of all genres including hip hop, punk, pop and jazz 407-275-8950 can be considered independent. It's not necessarily the style of music that defines this genre, but the autonomous principles of its bands, which makes independent music a difficult style to pin 2 Bedroom I 1 Bath Apartments down. Lo-fi is a genre that developed from the cheap, independent recording process often done in a band's living room or garage on a Starting at $575 four-track machine.

(Macon, Ga.) Dear Sexpert, I've been going out with this girl for five years now and I love her a lot. I love her so much that I was thinking about marrying her. I know this sounds silly writing to you about this, but I don't want to rush things. Marriage is a big step and I don't know if either of us is ready for it. I'm twenty-four and she's twenty-two. What should I do? - Cold feet, 24

Don't feel silly about writing in--all quest10ns are good questions. You are right to worry about rushing things. Marriage is a big com­ mitment and unfortunately in this day in age it is not taken seriously enough. About fifty percent of the marriages in America today end in divorce (a pretty staggering number). One contributing reason that it is high is young marriages. Not all young marriages fail, but for the most part young marriages end in divorce because of a couple rea­ sons: A) They were spur of the moment. Done "in the heat of passion." This can create a big problem when the passion runs out and reality _, hits (i.e. bills and children). B) This point has to. do with. the fact that when young marriages occur they don't plan on a career. But with more women in the work force and men also competing for jobs, it's difficult to work in the career of your choice without a college degree. Both spouses trying to get a good education while being married is highly.. unlikely so they end up in divorce. · I'm not saying this will happen to you, but here is my advice. Wait it out two more years. Depending on how long you've been together and if you have been living together in Florida for most of that time, ' you could opt for Common Law benefits. In Florida if you have been a couple (living together) for seven years, you are in a Common Law marriage. You get the same benefits as being legally married (taxes and all that good stuff). But if that's not the route you want to go, . those two years also act as a little room to figure things out. By that time you both will have a degree, assuming you both are in college, as well as some time to think about what career you want to choose. Then you can settle into a job and get some stability. The most important thing about these two years is that you can save up some money. So after the honeymoon--when reality hits--you'll be pre­ pared. I hope I helped with the doubts in your mind. Thanks for writ­ ing in.

Dear Sexpert, I have this teacher arid she means th~ world to me. She's smart, funny and she has a great body. I want to tell her how I feel, but I'm afraid to. What should I do? - Hot for teacher, 23

First let me ask you a few questions. What attracts you the most? Do you see her in class walking around and say to yourself: "Man, she's got a nice pair of legs"? If so, that's physical attraction and telling her you like her based on that is not a wise thing to do. Do you see her and think: "Nice body, but she also is smart, witty and has a great sense of humor"? If so you are infatuated: But if you said these things above, talk to her and spend some time with her. Getting to know her outside of class and falling head over heels--that is love. So analyze your feelings and how she treats you. Does she_ ever smile at you for no reason or flirt even harmlessly? Is she single and around your age? I would talk to her if you think she could ever feel the same way about you. If not, let it be, man. Saying the wrong thing if she doesn't flirt with you back could not only embarrass you, _, but make it uncomfortable to be in class with her for the rest of the semester. Even if she does like you, it may be smarter to wait until the last day of class to say something. For many teachers, it is against their morals and ethics to get romantically involved with someone in class. So be careful and good luck.

I would like to make a retraction about last week's answer to the ques­ tion about aphrodisiacs. l did not share with you· all the infonnation about Yohimbe. Yohimbe also can cause hallucinations if taken by some people. Since the FDA does not monitor herbal remedies, caution should be taken. I have taken Yohirnbe and had no unwanted side effects. The reason is that we do not get the bark straight from the tree. It is processed by Sundown, GNC or whoever is distributing it. The process of drying it up and making a powder out of it drops the poten­ cy dramatically. This is similar _to overcooking your vegetables. When .this is done you loose nutrients, the same thing is applied to the bark. The same chemical is there, but not in such strong amounts. When tak-. ing anything herbal, speak to a herbalist first to make sure it is safe. I'm sorry for the lack of infonnation, and I want to thank the person that brought it to my attention.
