The Big Lookback: Tom Verlaine

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. carlwilson.substack.com/p/sw…

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

How does a fella review 17,000 albums? The cluttered truth behind the hours of listening and the neat grades.

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.

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.

No snappy answers in this month's Xgau Sez, from a few words about therapy to a little deep background on "Pazz & Jop."

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.
