NPR Updates
We should be adding notices every time Robert Christgau appears
on NPR's "All Things Considered," but haven't managed to update the
website in a timely enough matter. Since August:
The whole list is accessible via the NPR link on the sidebar.
At the bottom of that page is a link that searches NPR for more recent
pieces -- info that should be up to date even when we aren't.

Rock & Roll &: The List and the Listener
After a two-year hiatus, Robert Christgau's Rock & Roll & has a new
home: the online-only Barnes & Noble Review, where it will appear
midmonth every month, on the Monday closest to the 15th. As planned,
the revived column will cover plenty of rock & roll but have more of
that second & in it.
