I haven't bothered linking to any of it til now, since I assumed that if you were interested, you'd already be following it, but the debate about race, class, and bohemia in indie rock that started with Sasha Frere Jones' piece for the New Yorker (and really took off with Carl Wilson's response piece for Slate) just keeps getting better

your speech was ace! i also found it ironically hilarious that the crowd got particularly unruly and inattentive during one of the parts about Scratch staff tolerating the unwashed masses.
