		<description><![CDATA[Last month I participated in A Musical Emergency, which is a loose collective of theater and music folks in SF that turns popular stories or movies into full length musicals. They divide the story up into bite sized chunks and everyone&#8217;s responsible for telling their part of the story however they feel. The movie was [...]]]></description>

Specifically, musical taste, both what you love and despise, is often more about self identification, ego, and image than it is about the music at hand. Some of the [...]]]></description>

While preparing for the show I did my best to try to analyze the nature of &#8220;badness&#8221;, perhaps even creating a taxonomy of characteristics that contribute to bad music.
