Music Critic Catfight: Sasha Frere-Jones v. Nick Hornby
The New Yorker's wildman music critic Sasha Frere-Jones has called out New York Times op-ed music-lover Nick Hornby. Looks like he's going to kick Hornby's ass after school, by the bike racks:
It turns out that the [NYT's] idea is not to find rockist crackers or closet bigots or plain old crabcakes who just wanna rail against music as it exists and operates now — the idea is to find people who are unable to hear music as it exists and operates now, and then ask them to write about it. And if you're looking for someone who can't confront or discern the present moment, there is no greater spokesbaldy than Nick "Mojo Magazine Invented Me In a Diabolical Laboratory And Now They Can't Kill Me" Hornby.
