Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

really, this week's voice music section is stellar all around: not only do you get the frere-jones and christgau mentioned below, there's also simon on u.k. garage rap, caramanica on j-lo, kyle gann's clear-as-the-proverbial-bell writing, this week on frederic rzewski (why isn't gann writing for the wire?), and unfairly buried at the bottom of "the sound of the city," matos on dirty vegas on the decks.
