Boycott A Music Poll?
This site Idolator has started its own Music Poll to rival the Village Voice's Pazz & Jop. They're are calling it Jackin' Pop and it looks like its going to hit most of the same critic's as P&J. That includes me. There was talk of people boycotting P&J and only voting in the new one. It would be a protest against the Voice firing P&J founder and Senior Critic Robert Christgau. I was thinking of doing the same, until I read Christgau's thoughts on the whole thing in the New York Times. Seems that he'll be voting in both polls, too. And he doesn't miss the weeks of labor that the P&J cost him. So, my decision to vote in both is sound.
