a feature package at literary webzine The Nervous Breakdown on me and Bring the Noise, out imminently in America on Soft Skull...

elements include excerpts from BtN on the voice in pop music and on crunk

plus an auto-interview about changes in pop criticism during the 25 years since I started doing it and getting paid

the latter is basically me trading solos with Carl--a parallel riff to this micro-manifesto he posted a few weeks ago which I had meant to engage with here
