Terrific response to Sasha Frere-Jones' ludicrous straw-man. It
always amazes me how some writers try to head-off criticism with
statements like "it's difficult to talk about the racial pedigree of
American pop music without being accused of reductionism [or]
essentialism...", and then proceed to do *exactly* that. Quite
obnoxious.

I can't get over how clueless the guy is -- he's looking for funky at
an Arcade Fire concert? And he's disappointed?
