Comments on: Paleo-Music http://snarkmarket.com/2010/6211 The stomping grounds of Tim Carmody, Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson. It's a long-running conversation about media, journalism, technology, cities, culture, design, books, music, movies, the future and the past.

SFJ actually comes out on top when you listen to the podcast follow-up to his New Yorker article. He makes sense of some flaws, concedes a few points, and emerges with a more well-rounded point. And he's right. I'd hardly consider the king of self-centered rip-off deluxe songsmithing Murphy shouting out Gil's name as evidence of otherwise.
