@solidstatendc: I was always puzzled by Xgau's dissing of Nick Drake--He haughtily said of Nick--"I'm not inclined to revere suicides"---but everyone has their blind spots.
He spends too much time on world music, too, at the expense of genres more pertinent to music "consumers."
But he is a superlative writer, and has earned his authority.
His "perch" is secure, at msn.com

I particularly like his touch on "Stone Free." Sad to die in a lonely hotel room in Portland...
