Inaugural Idolator Music Poll to Feature More Than 500 Critics
Gawker Media's music blog will release the results of its first annual critics poll on Friday, hoping to supplant The Village Voice's 32-year-old Pazz & Jop poll, reports the Los Angeles Times. Longtime Voice music critic Robert Christgau (pictured), who was fired after New Times merged with Village Voice Media, will participate in both polls. "The decision to vote in the [Voice] poll was something I thought about the first week I was fired," says Christgau. "And I said, 'Gee, yeah, I think I want to do that.'"
