“ Hyping oddities — “discoveries,” in the banal honorific — is a critical sin every bit as venal as hawking hits, and in the hyperlinked age it’s a contagion. But the offense is in fetishizing and lying about your scoops. Any critic who does his or her job is going to latch onto dearly beloveds, and I’ve always found plenty. „

Robert Christgau “Dad-Rock Makes a Stand”
