An I Love Music thread that proves the Voice editors earn what little money they make, confirms that it was probably a good idea for me to give up commenting for P+J, and kinda reminds me how embarassed I should be for even having a blog.

Miles Marshall Lewis topped the 2003 Pazz & Jop critical alignment ratings, which is Glen McDonald’s statistical ranking of how on target each PnJ voter was with the actual final poll. It’s like a numerical equivalent of how much a critic is with the zeitgeist, the Populism Meter, as Peter Shapiro puts it.

Go Miles! I think.

Me? I’m at 310, up from 486 last year.

Thanks to rock critics daily for the link.

Nice one! Scott Wood: “Reissue of the Year: Let It Be…Naked by the Replacements. Peter Jesperson’s production always was a little bombastic, and what a delight to finally hear these songs the way they were meant to be heard: ‘Answering Machine’ without the operator message, ‘Androgynous’ minus those extravagant finger snaps. Plus we don’t have to listen to that egomaniac Tommy Stinson harping on about how Jesperson totally ‘ruined the essence of’ his bass part in ‘Gary’s Got a Boner.’

Actually, Julianne, I think this is a pretty good trade. I’ve been hoping Shareef might get a real team since “The Quickening”!
