He has also covered popular music for ''Esquire'', ''Creem'', ''Newsday'', ''Playboy'', ''Rolling Stone'', ''Billboard'', NPR, ''Blender'', and ''MSN Music'', and is a visiting arts teacher at New York University.〔
Christgau is known for his terse capsule reviews, first published in his ''Consumer Guide'' columns during his tenure at ''The Village Voice'' from 1969 to 2006. He has written three books based on those columns, along with two collections of essays.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert Christgau )〕 He continued writing capsule reviews in ''MSN Music'', ''Cuepoint'', and ''Noisey'', where they are currently published in his ''Expert Witness'' column.〔
==Early life==
Christgau grew up in Queens, New York City, the son of a fireman. He has said he became a rock and roll fan when disc jockey Alan Freed moved to the city in 1954.〔Christgau, Robert (2004), "A Counter in Search of a Culture". ''Any Old Way You Choose It'', Cooper Square Press, p.2.〕 After attending a public school in New York City,〔 he left New York for four years to attend Dartmouth College, graduating in 1962 with a B.A. in English. While at college his musical interests turned to jazz, but he quickly returned to rock after moving back to New York. Christgau has said that Miles Davis' 1960 album ''Sketches of Spain'' initiated in him "one phase of the disillusionment with jazz that resulted in my return to rock and roll".
