Is this the death of the Pazz & Jop? I used the Pazz & Jop yearly wraps to purchase a lot of albums, especially in the 80's. I suppose they will hire someone making half of what he did. They could always outsource his column and Pazz & Jop to China or India. Michael B.

And using half the number of words he did, while making twice the sense. The man lost it years ago if you ask me.

It is now official--Village Voice Media fired me today, "for taste," which means (among other things) slightly sweeter severance. This despite the support of new music editor Rob Harvilla, who I like as a person and a writer. We both believed I had won myself some kind of niche as gray eminence. So I was surprised Tuesday when I was among the eight Voice employees (five editorial, three art) who were instructed to bring their union reps to a meeting with upper management today. But I certainly wasn't shocked--my approach to music coverage has never been much like that of the New Times papers, Bless the union, my severance is substantial enough to give me time to figure out what I'm doing next. In fact, having finished all my freelance reviews yesterday, I don't have a single assignment pending. So, since I have no intention of giving up rock criticism, all reasonable offers entertained; my phone number is in the book, as they used to say when there were books. What I don't need is a vacation--the three of us just had a great two and a half weeks, and Nina matriculated at BMCC yesterday. No need to respond. Forward to whoever you will. Love, Bob Christgau ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2006 13:32:34 -0700 From: "Spotted Eagle Ray" Subject: I'm bored. Someone point me towards some screwy free songs or sounds to download, the weirder the better.
