You know, I guess I think I've always been a professional critic, you know, or some sort of professional

appreciator or something. And then. Now this is serious business here man.

Putting on a great show is the most important thing you can do.

One great rock show can change the world.

Titus Andronicus proves that aggressive and fun punk rock still can be smart.

I'm Jim Deeregatus from W be E. Z and Columbia College.

And I'm Greg Cott from the Chicago Tribune. The New Jersey Rockers Titus Andronicus join us in the studio.

And Jim and I review the new album by Hip Hop pioneers, The Beastie Boys.

That's all coming up on Sound Opinions.

From W.BeeZ Chicago and distributed by PRX. You're listening to sound opinions and now it's time for some music news. I've just seen a face I can't forget the time all place where we just met.

She's just a girl for me and I want all the world to see we've met.

There's a power shift going on right now with the major social networking platforms when it comes to music.

As you know, Jim, MySpace.com has been the dominant player when it comes to music on social networking platforms over the last

I know it's hard to believe.

My space was this huge player a few years ago.

Now its user base is shrinking.
