XGAU FRIDAY 088


Randomized selections metely arranged from a very incomplete (yet pretty large) playlist of Robert Christgau’s Honorable-Mention mentions and Choice-Cut choices and from reviews mostly of albums receiving less than an A-Minus (A-grade albums being best heard whole), as well as other singling out, Dean's List singles, or even faint praise from other pieces or places, especially Additional Consumer News.
