Any time a writer not from Ohio writes "Columbus, Ohio" instead of just "Columbus," a little part of me dies. Columbus is one of the biggest cities in America! The other towns called Columbus are tiny! How many people are honestly going to see "Columbus" and wonder which one?

James has always kept the ship running and helped us keep our heads on straight. He did so many little things behind the scenes that made Stereogum better. As a critic, he had a crucial role in breaking some of the greatest indie bands of the past decade. A music blogging legend.
