just a heads-up that slate.com is playing host to a very interesting exchange between two music lovers, one a jazz critic for the ny times and the other a classical music lover who just so happens to be a music critic for the new yorker. the article is a series of correspondance between the two regarding just what it is that makes them fans of their respective music of choice, and how that relates to their feelings about pop music. good readin'!
