This Ain't Twitter
I heard a radio piece today about a music reviewer who tweets his reviews. Yes, he compresses his musings into haiku-like dispatches of 140 characters. It's intriguing, though not enough to make me want to join yet another social networking site. Still, there's something to the short-form review, particularly when one's desk (I didn't say my desk, I said

But that legacy alone doesn't explain the sound of Ba Cissoko (which is, by the way, both a person and a band).
