X to the Gau
Media vultures will note that the Village Voice laid off eight staffers, including the estimable Robert Christgau. It's disappointing, if not surprising; the writing had been on the VV wall had been there for some time.
Christgau has managed to stay relevant in emerging music criticism despite his age; here's to hoping they gave him some sort of golden parachute. If there's one music critic that can existing as a media island, Christgau is that man. People will read his commentary anywhere, so setting up a blog could attract readership and ads from music labels. That is, if he doesn't want to retire.
