Hey, I hear some people I know are subscribers to Nerve.com. Non-subscribers can read the article referenced for free today only, I think.

Try this at your own risk.

Borrowed from Poplicks, who quoted Nerve's "Sex Advice from Music Critics":

"What is the quickest way to get a music critic in bed?

This is really easy. First you reference something she wrote, telling her how observant it was, noting that it was very courageous of her to speak up like she did. This will make her feel attractive and appreciated. Next, you reference something by a male writer you admire and say you wish you could write like him. This creates the illusion that you are really interested in journalism while projecting an image of humility. Then reference something by another female writer. It helps if she has a friendship and/or competition with this writer. This will let her know that it's not a one-horse race and that she'd better be on her P's and Q's. Finally, you bring it back to her, just to underscore the fact that you're interested. From there, all you have to do is invite her to your place to check out your back issues of Esquire or your rare music collection."


P.S. Check out Jessica Hopper's comments on being asked to write for the feature. "I said Cam'ron is "sexist", they changed it to "Cam'ron is sexy". Lanky dudes in flowing robe style track suits with casj choruses pimping rape chic and slangin' yay, despite how much patriarchal hate I have internalized, does not do it for me in 2005."

I would suspect that if there were a mutual interest, the fastest way would be just to ask. More civilised, too.

I don't think the feature was necessarily intended to be providing good advice.

Well, I have an advantage, but...

...I figure the quickest way would be to go over to your dresser, pull out a pair, put one leg in, put the other leg in, then zip them up and button them -- unless they were chef pants.

You have a double advantage in that a) you live with me and have access to my wardrobe, and b) my pants fit you.

Thanks for the ref to Poplicks. Good stuff that.

To my embarrassment, the SJ Mercury had a giant photo of "Larry the Cable Bigot" on the front of Saturday's Arts and Living section.
