Yeah, but the word still implies bubbly something; otherwise the expression would just be "bubbles."

I've just looked up a book definition of metonymy. It says: 'A figure in which the name of an attribute or adjunct is substituted for that of the thing meant.' Bubbly is an attribute of champagne and is substituted for it. I don't believe that it's a contraction of 'bubbly champagne'.
And why can't anyone explain the meaning of 'back in the day' to me whether as a noun, adjective, adverb or phrase. I'm a forty-one year old Britain/Australian and I don't know much about hip hop. You can explain the English and the Irish phrases too if you like.

I'm not sure why I'm persisting with this but I'd truly like to know what Christgau thinks his sentence means. I'm more interested in the other elements of the discussion in this thread, particularly the differences in reviewing practices and media culture between the US and the UK.

i think it's an indication of what the results of the recommendation will yield.
ambiguity about whether he's urging Tim and Missy to surround outtakes with some unspecified thing, or whether "surrounding" is an adjective. The latter at least has some fixity to it, but the verb "is" doesn't agree so we have to go with the former - "surrounding outtakes that were just outtakes" becomes one unified action, a noun—like "jousting" as a sport.
"I'm recommending - in an old-school way - that Tim and Missy engulf and outflank outtakes that are worthy of the name (they could also both stand to speak up a little more clearly like our man Nas); four autobiographical pieces are also on the album."
I feel weird.

C'mon, Momus...we know you still have a kooky comment to make (involving the phrases "Aguilera", "social classes", "sheepshagger", "Adolph Hitler" and "new Butterscotch flavor toothpaste") that you need to make.
Don't force me to post some demented "madcap theory" in order to get everyone yelling at me again just to keep this thread going.
