The Village Voice thinks you're stupid

hey, village voice, you're right.. i am stupid !

The Village Voice thinks you like tits, is probably right

So, I guess this is official now. (Fwiw, I've secretly known about Rob leaving for a couple weeks, but didn't know Maura was coming in until three minutes ago.)

okay not scooped.

anyhoo, congrats maura!

(or whatever they call the VV/new times whatever clusterfuck now)

Yep. As for one little aspect of the article, the below is kinda the same issue in my town. Punk and indie rock shows get documented on local media, but go-go, r'n'b, jazz, and myriad international styles exist only in instagram land among friends.

There are so many shows going on in this town where nobody is shooting.

Oh yeah well I hope they've stopped stealing local band photos of ppl flickr accounts and running then w/o paying or giving credit

Hilary Hughes who was their 2015 music editor is no longer listed on the masthead. Now they just list a "culture editor"

i remember her announcing on twitter that she was leaving VV maybe...a month ago? i didn't see anything about looking for or announcing a new music ed, wouldn't be surprised if that position was being eliminated.

ah, fuck
i liked Hilary.

x-post - yep now I see it. She tweeted Feb. 17th that it was her last day at the Voice.
