Say what you like about Reynolds, but at least he can spell.
Otherwise I miss the point of your post, be there any. Seems to me that "nostalgic meandering" is right up your street.

"An approach that treats "Smells Like Teen Spirit," "Chime", "One In A Million", "Who Am I?", "___", as equally exceptional--flashes of form that may or may not carry content in the traditionally valorized sense as part of their arsenal of impact, but that always create content through the audio-social ripples and cultural shockwaves they trigger.
I need to come up with a snappy name for this approach, this sensibility..."
... and I think, "yes, it's called anti-rockism!!!!"

Marcello, I pretty much agree - Church of Me is an excellent example of how a music critic can be fiercely judgmental about music without having to limit yrself as a listener.

Goody to enter Indian Big Brother Day 71, 11:21 BST
By Simon Reynolds, Entertainment Reporter
Rex Features Jade Goody will enter the Indian Big Brother house, reports The Sun.
The reality TV star, who was accused of bullying and making racist remarks to Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty in last year's Celebrity Big Brother, has flown out to Mumbai to prepare for a stint on Big Boss.
A source revealed: "Jade wasn't sure when she was first approached because she was worried about how the Indian housemates and public might react.
"She was really upset about everything that happened after the scandal last year. People in India were burning effigies of her in the street.
"But she really wants to clear her name and prove to everyone that she's not a racist."
Goody will allegedly earn £100,000 for taking part in Big Boss.

He isn't really though, is he? Even the Blissed Out-era stuff makes pretty embarrassing reading now and the current contents of Blissblog seem to indicate that he's lost the plot.

"And if '01 in garage = '96 in jungle, there's at least one or two more years of *generally* good music."
That was prescient.
