Cross with the Kids

Ideally, the physics of record reviewing are as elegant as actual physics, with each piece speaking to the essence of its subject as deliberately and as appropriately as a real-world force reacting to an action. --actual quote from Pitchforkmedia.com.

As any music lover and regular reader of Pitchforkmedia knows, the kids over there can be relentlessly pretentious and self-absorbed. So it's refreshing to read David Cross taking 'em down a notch or two, especially considering they all but invited him to do so.
