...and finishing a respectable 228, just behind K. Sanneh on the critical alignment of P&J, is me. I am proud to point out that Philip Sherburne ranks lowest on my critic friends to P&J attenuation scale, with an impressive rank of 730 out of 791. I am confounded that Caryn Brooks is my most, umm, populist ranker at 56. Whoda thunk it?
Also in blogworld is the wonderful, how can i avoid scatalogical references resulting from, cover of The Seattle Weekly starring MmmmmmmMatos! in a great piece about the truimph of a Seattle-based indie chocolate business. Love the aside about listening to whatever without the office goons going nuts - I live for alt.weekly interior quips.
in the GIRLS MAKE A FUSS TO SHOW YOU WHAT'S UP dept.
here's a story about how the YWCA is doing activism to counter negative language towards girls, which echoes Jessica Hopper's comment about sexism (in writing and language) in hip hop and is elegantly timed with the awesome Elizabeth Méndez Berry's piece called Love Hurts in Vibe, pdf here, thanks sasha. Also, my solo 03 P&J comment, was on this same topic and I got shit for 'coming off militant.' Alas, I know that is sounds soo much cooler to come off apathetic...wait, I thought irony was dead? Must consult Soren.

Goddamn, and this was supposed to be the year I embraced populism, too. I mean, I listed Kylie, for god's sake! Fuck it, next year I'm coming off militant.
Of the people*. For the people. By the people. People? Represent!
*People here being fucking rock critics, who, as we all know, are not really human so they don't really count using any populism calculator.
