Tris McCall is now (and has been for a few months) the staff rock critic 
and pop music writer at the Star-Ledger, which is New Jersey's largest daily 
paper. That'll make it hard to dismiss all rock critics at the dailies for a 
while. You can find his work online, of course. Probably all of us know that 
McCall is also a fine songwriter whose debut solo album was produced by 
Scott Miller--and his other great albums continue a debt to the guy. 

On the slightly less Scott Miller-oriented peripheral, Tommy Keene's 
upcoming two-disc comp looks set to be a perfect collection of vital tracks from 
his entire career. You can also check out Keene's production work on the 
upcoming (officially July 17, but look around) MISGUIDED PROMISE: CARNIVAL 
SEASON COMPLETE (1984-89). Keene produced the sole album from Carnival Season, 
that being a stellar Birmingham, AL act whose pop-oriented garage rock has 
aged far better than the rock criticism written about them at the time. Looks 
like there'll be a Primitons career comp from the same label, too.
