Good music is what we want to hear.

What do you mean? Good music. It's what we dance to, what our children will dance to.

And if you don't want to play it, then take your records and go home.

Welcome to Sound Opinions from Chicago Public Radio and American Public Media.

I'm Jim De Regattis, the pop music critic at the Chicago Sun-Times.

And I'm Greg Cox. I write about Rock and Roll for the Chicago Tribune. Today on the world's only rock and

and all talk show, Jim and I are going to welcome Adjit Poet and rocker Saul Williams.

Plus, we'll review the new album from the indie pop band Los Campicinos and then it's Greg's

turn to edit track to the Desert Island Jukebox.

You are listening to sound opinions and now it's time to welcome our newest affiliate.
