The Second-Best Living Music Journalist Quits The Times [Kelefa Sanneh]
Gawker —
The New York Times writer who blew up "rockism" from an industry term to a mainstream idea has left the paper. According to Radar, Kelefa Sanneh has already gotten a job at the New Yorker, home of the best living music journalist Sasha Frere-Jones. I can only hope Sanneh gets to write a too-witty-for-the-New-Yorker blog like Frere-Jones's. [Photo from Zoilus]

... critic and official rockism explainer Kelefa Sanneh is leaving the Gray Lady for The New Yorker, where he'll reportedly cover the "culture" beat; Sanneh wrote about World Changers Church International pastor Creflo Dollar for the mag in 2004 and penned a piece on corporate rap for it in 2002. No word on who will replace Sanneh at the Times--or even if he'll be replaced, given that the paper's going to cut 100 jobs from the newsroom this year. [Radar]

... (and occasionally life in general). This month I’m lacing up some kicks with Stacy Keibler and enjoying some props from the Gray Lady while laying the smackdown on television guest stars, so-called NCAA “experts,” and the MTA. Enjoy!
