You Vulture readers have been clamoring for it … we've been nervously anticipating its reception … here, without further ado: Our inaugural slideshow of rock critics at a reading! (Uh-oh — you just nerdgasmed at work!) "Stories in High Fidelity," sponsored by the new music-writing-themed Website of the same name, brought Blender's Rob Sheffield, authors Marc Spitz and Dan Kennedy, dean of rock critics Robert Christgau, and newly minted novelist Chuck Klosterman before a Highline Ballroom audience lusty for the seriously geeky shit. And as if the glamour shots of these men aren't enough to get you clicking, we've captioned them with the cleverest bits from each guy's reading.
