The benefit compilation
"Wish You
Were Here: Love Songs For New
York" was
produced in the aftermath of
Sept.
11. As the
Voice's promo
puts it, the paper "put out an emergency
call begging punks, ravers, rappers,
no-wavers, new agers,
headbangers,
reggae toasters, rai rebels, riot grrrls,
emo eggheads, urban hillbillies,
suburban folkies, and soulquarians for
love songs devoted to New York City."
Robert Christgau reviews the
results and warns you to watch what you
say when you talk about his paper.
