Schizophrenic Music in more than just a podcast, it's a casual conversation between 2 passionate music fans that illustrates how music makes their world a better place to live in. There is no pretense, we like what we like and we absolutely love to talk about it. Concerts, new album releases, what we listened to on the way to work...you name it. If it involves the music we love (or even hate) we'll share it with the world if they're willing to listen.

In fact, some people simply stop going to concerts once they reach a certain age. Why is that? While we don't fall into that camp, we would love to hear from those who do. So, wha…

Hip-hop took center stage last Sunday night and ushered in a new era of sorts. It's hard to believe it took this long when really you think about it.
