I once resisted the urge — partly as an attempt at black humour, partly as meta-commentary on what seems to comprise 75% of the posted content here, partly as a self-examination of why I even bother continuing to do this — to change the title of this website, just for a day, to “Dead RockCritics.com.” Well, I’ve been superseded in my aims. Dead Critics is an excellent looking new blog by Lisa Levy about “dead critics, a few live critics, and the nature of critical inquiry.” With current entries on Bangs (which I enjoyed) and Dwight MacDonald.
