one also has to wonder how much say Lacey has as opposed to the new mgt, etc.

Dibs on "Arizona Crony" as an EP title.

Be on the lookout for the debut mixtape CDR download NapkinAttack

How are you all forgetting the internet sensation "The New Times Likes Napkins."

Sylvester returns in two weeks.

― Scrof Scrofula, Tuesday, 14 March 2006 20:52 (twenty years ago)

But is it a sanitary napkin? :-)

― Chris O., Tuesday, 14 March 2006 20:53 (twenty years ago)

awkward!

"Doug Simmons is no longer acting editor," the napkin said.
Towelie ?

Wanna get fired?

Lacey IS the new mgmt.

― Matos-Webster Dictionary (M Matos), Tuesday, 14 March 2006 23:20 (twenty years ago)

Yup.

― Chris O., Wednesday, 15 March 2006 00:01 (twenty years ago)

OK, here's what we've got: New Time Media, in conjunction with the saucer people -- under the supervision of the reverse vampires -- forced Sylvester to run a story with fabricated quotes in a fiendish plot to eliminate Simmons.

We're through the looking glass, here, people...

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 00:04 (twenty years ago)

the riff raff comments box is gonna be a laff riot.

"OMG you gotta be shitting me, Nick! Did you make this up?"

― [email protected], Wednesday, 15 March 2006 00:12 (twenty years ago)

nick (or someone) has apparently been studiously censoring the box.

anyway there should totally be a genre called nü-management.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Wednesday, 15 March 2006 03:41 (twenty years ago)

two weeks pass...

Fin, apparently.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 31 March 2006 20:51 (twenty years ago)

So Mr. Sylvester ended up losing not one but two jobs over this? Poor guy. Unemployment is a pretty harsh state, y'know.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Saturday, 1 April 2006 04:48 (twenty years ago)

Poor guy my ass. He made the mag into a laughingstock in the affair and took down someone else in his damn vanity.

― Paul Hornung, Saturday, 1 April 2006 18:02 (twenty years ago)

save your pity for all the people at the voice who got laid off despite doing their jobs well and knowing not to make up quotes.

― Zwan (miccio), Saturday, 1 April 2006 18:20 (twenty years ago)

(shrug)

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Saturday, 1 April 2006 18:58 (twenty years ago)

he'll be over at vice mag in a week's time

― gear (gear), Saturday, 1 April 2006 23:19 (twenty years ago)

he might displace momus as the star writer? :-(

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:47 (twenty years ago)

"star writer"

shame about ridgeway

― j blount (papa la bas), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:49 (twenty years ago)

cemented with a four page story celebrating kill whitey with a cobrasnake-esque photo spread? : (

― gear (gear), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:49 (twenty years ago)

he'll be over at vice mag in a week's time

Excellent. I need a reason to stop reading Vice.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:49 (twenty years ago)

yes, draw the line there

― j blount (papa la bas), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:50 (twenty years ago)

No-one needs a reason to stop reading Vice.
xpost. Beaten to the punch.

― jimnaseum (jimnaseum), Sunday, 2 April 2006 00:50 (twenty years ago)

it's ok, the Voice is still hiring more Pitchfork 'trap hop' groupies to balance out the loss of Sylvester:

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Sunday, 2 April 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

It's entertainment with ambition, but I can't front though; the soundtrack is pretty fly too.

copyeditors, count the things wrong with this sentence.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 2 April 2006 01:43 (twenty years ago)

also, was the voice "letters" section on the webpage always called "letters / corrections" or is that a recent, ahem, improvement?

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 2 April 2006 02:23 (twenty years ago)

Wow, I totally thought "debutant" wasn't a word, but it turns out it is! Never heard that one before.

― [email protected], Sunday, 2 April 2006 02:25 (twenty years ago)

I'm sorry to hear James Ridgeway was let go. I don't really read the Voice that much for political coverage, but I've appreciated some of his reporting there (over a long period of time).

― Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Sunday, 2 April 2006 02:30 (twenty years ago)

I totally thought "debutant" wasn't a word

hahaha I thought the Voice was covering a different kind of "coming out" until I realized this word refers to the director's debut.

axing Ridgeway (as well as Nat Hentoff and perhaps Christgau and J.Hoberman next) is extraordinarily dumb IMO, to put it in marketing speak the Village Voice's "brand" value lies in its rich history and the surviving veterans who most readers love to hate/argue with.

― m coleman (lovebug starski), Sunday, 2 April 2006 10:53 (twenty years ago)

...Cast of (mostly) certified ATLiens who bring organic charisma to their character's interactions, playing them sweet like mash notes yet grown-ass as the men and women the tale's teens are trying to be.

Good Lord. Note the bad apostrophe, the disparity between "like" and "as" in two back-to-back similes, the idiotic "mash notes," the reaching "grown-ass."

― Copy Edith (joseph cotten), Sunday, 2 April 2006 12:41 (twenty years ago)

Agreed. It's horrible.

Astonished they would let Ridgeway go.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 3 April 2006 00:46 (twenty years ago)

I bet the NT has focus groop research demonstrating beyond a shadow of a doubt that the VV's ideal brand identity is, in their words, "a Pennysaver with boobies."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 3 April 2006 01:09 (twenty years ago)

Ogling breasts isn't just for straight men and lesbians anymore. Moving beyond traditional labels, gay men and straight women are outing themselves as "boobiesexuals."

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 3 April 2006 01:12 (twenty years ago)

Well at least "my straight friend 'Amy'" won't be writing an angry letter.

― Zwan (miccio), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:31 (twenty years ago)

Why was Nick Sylvester finally fired? “[A]bout a week ago I heard from someone inside the Voice that when Sylvester sat down with a lawyer to go through his emails on the story, his entire account has been mysteriously deleted. At that point, they asked him to leave, for real this time.”

― My Psychic Friends Are Strangely Silent (Ex Leon), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:31 (twenty years ago)

i still cant stand this guy

― ++++, Monday, 3 April 2006 13:32 (twenty years ago)

But Mr. Trife, he was so accepting of the kids and their ways. Do you hate youth?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 3 April 2006 13:48 (twenty years ago)

that fucking guy on the 'atl' film -- j-ho wdn't have commissioned that?

I have to admit, the "PUTTING RIFF MARKET ON SUICIDE WATCH" headline cracked me up

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 6 April 2006 01:12 (twenty years ago)

what about Liquid Liquid nick?

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 6 April 2006 03:25 (twenty years ago)

good to see new stuff, but it reads like he's entering a fat Orson Welles twilight.
