So is there no successor to Sasha Frere-Jones on the pop music beat? Online I see one piece by Hua Hsu on Future Brown and one by K. Sanneh on Waxahatchie.

from what i've heard hsu is, like, "trying out" for the position or something... i don't think it was a one-off piece

And K. preceded SFJ and graduated to bigger things, so likely not moving back to that position.

Xpost crap, that's right, though I could have sworn Sanneh was writing for the times and the New Yorker at the same time for a while. Getting old, memory going.

The patient's head would be sawed open under local anesthetic. Fully conscious, the patient would be shown flashcards with words or pictures while the electrodes recorded which regions responded to the stimuli. ... Sometimes, a picture of a particular celebrity would cause a single neuron to become especially active. Similar observations led scientists in a later study to posit the existence in one patient of a "Halle Berry neuron."

as David Roberts says, "I can’t imagine The New Yorker publishing it under any other byline."
seriously, one glance at it by elizabeth kolbert would have kept it from publication
