Seeing longtime Mekon Jon Langford live in Manhattan in April set me on a research binge that may not be over yet, as the latest Consumer Guide proves. Thoughts? Info? https://t.co/IPgedKKW9C

In this month's Consumer Guide on Substack: three (count 'em, three) albums from a universalist, one from a Welsh beatmaker blessed with a silver tongue, the latest from our greatest female pop singer, and jazz’s greatest tenor player at 28. https://t.co/HHcnnzbQyG

Danyel Smith meets George Clinton at the March PopCon at USC, providing just the excuse I need to convert the Clinton profile-cum-think piece from my 1998 Harvard collection "Grown Up All Wrong" into this month's Big Lookback at And It Don't Stop. https://t.co/qHXqrlLVBi

Karl Marx, Bob Dylan, the-Beatles-and-the-Stones, and many less stellar musical names are among the topics addressed in the latest edition of And It Don't Stop on Substack. https://t.co/8l860BrP8z

Postpunk lifers, a truly older African, fortysomethings hanging in there, structurally connubial alt-rockers, women who deserve better, and a younger woman who towers over the competition fill out the April Consumer Guide at And It Don't Stop on Substack. https://t.co/rCox96PyIS

Today in "Crritic!": Having missed this year's Pop Conference, I simulate a day of it by rounding up talks posted online by @rxgau, @polishedsolid, @NedRaggett, @matoswk75, @SotoAlfred, and @glenn_mcdonald. https://t.co/FPScd7roL5

Several old faithfuls, two exceedingly original grown women of 28 and 35, two male singer-songwriters not in your recall memory, and the first positive Queen review I've ever written ain't all you find in this month's Consumer Guide at And It Don't Stop https://t.co/QqGSa7Rrvm

How does a fella review 17,000 albums? The cluttered truth behind the hours of listening and the neat grades. https://t.co/XNgdlTdkZk

It will always be a massive honor to receive an A grade from Robert Christgau in his Consumer Guide! Thanks to the Dean for his rave review of The Interrogator! If you aren't a subscriber to his substack, my highest recommendation is to remedy that. He's still the best we've got.

I swear I didn't plan the new Consumer Guide for Valentine's Day. It was a calendar accident. But that doesn't mean I don't love you or that Millie Jackson does. Jenny from Thebes, maybe. https://t.co/qfwMXD3Enm

A little later than I would have preferred, 84 albums it would be all too retro for me to call records constitute a 2023 Dean's List topped by a 20-year-old albeit chocked as well with veterans if only occasionally literal graybeards. https://t.co/qnTf5XumDc

No snappy answers in this month's Xgau Sez, from a few words about therapy to a little deep background on "Pazz & Jop." https://t.co/XgYlUJG2rX

A Navy veteran dominates the November Consumer Guide as DJ Shadow sounds good, Lil Wayne gives some away, a Dartmouth medical student goes indie, riot grrrl types from Australia and Indonesia make some noise, and that ain't all. https://t.co/fCJbDwir4C
