Robert Christgau sent the following to subscribers of his Substack newsletter:

In case you were wondering, And It Don't Stop isn't stopping and is not expected to. Postings have been sketchier than usual recently for medical reasons, most prominently an ablation that's taking a long time to heal. There was also the death of a dear friend of Carola's, who somehow managed to survive NINE YEARS with brain cancer due primarily to the loving care of her husband. All this has been occupying much of our time. Next Consumer Guide is well underway, I promise, plus there are other things I still feel the need to say.
