Village Idiot: My Pieces from the Village Voice (1999-2000)

Thanks to the great Chuck Eddy, who was serving as the Voice's music editor at the time, I was able to get four pieces into one of the hippest music sections in the world. The links, in chronological order, are below. (Thanks to the arguably greater Robert Christgau, I was able to get a few choice 'graphs into several of the Voice's "Pazz & Jop" polls as well; I'll post them as soon as I can find them.)

While we're on the subject, here's one on Loudon Wainwright III (from the Illinois Entertainer, 1998) that's still floating around: http://www.lwiii.com/about.php?section=articles&article=3

And here's an interesting piece that quotes one of my better paragraphs from the year (1997-1998) that I was WORLD's TV critic: http://www.nykola.com/archives/2004/06/the_cultural_re.html
