― 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.

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

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.

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Thursday, 6 April 2006 13:56 (twenty years ago)

Is nick working for ANYONE at this point?

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:00 (twenty years ago)

The weekend.

― Eppy (Eppy), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:29 (twenty years ago)

i notice me, trife, and miccio are mysteriously absent from the new link's bar.

― strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I was never on his links bar in the first place! We had a cautious relationship that only turned affectionate in private.

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 6 April 2006 14:55 (twenty years ago)

OMG OMG he didn't link to me!

heavens!

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:02 (twenty years ago)

The net is about touching each other.

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:06 (twenty years ago)

That's what my uncle steve told me, but believe me, he was wrong.

― Eppy (Eppy), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:09 (twenty years ago)

Plus Jess, you don't update for shit. In fact, I think I'm tired of sending readers over to a picture of King Biscuit Time.

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:12 (twenty years ago)

^^ lol, otm, etc

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:18 (twenty years ago)

i have an entire city to annoy with my half-baked ideas now

― strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:21 (twenty years ago)

be like me and post links to your "short list" then.

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:22 (twenty years ago)

how's work going?

― strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:24 (twenty years ago)

i kinda miss retail, i gotta be honest.

― strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:25 (twenty years ago)

also gel & weave still falls under the banner of "don't update for shit" (xp)

― Alex in Baltimore (Alex in Baltimore), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:27 (twenty years ago)

What's a blog?

― Eppy (Eppy), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:29 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, but you're making more. That's gotta be nice.

I'm burning a mix now and leaving for it in 15 minutes.

It goes "Round The Bend," "Rasputin," "Hot! Hot! Hot!," "Freak Scene" and so on. I say this so you don't think I'm ripping on King Biscuit Time.

― Zwan (miccio), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:29 (twenty years ago)

well, ethan's got no excuse

xpost

― strongo hulkington is a guy with a belly button piercing (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 6 April 2006 15:29 (twenty years ago)

if it makes you feel better, nobody links my blog anywhere that i know of!

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 6 April 2006 19:46 (twenty years ago)

then again i only update once a week and discuss music only on occasion

― Raymond Cummings (Raymond Cummings), Thursday, 6 April 2006 19:48 (twenty years ago)

The Voice has an immediate opening for a staff writer. We're looking for journalists who understand the difference between magazine-style reporting and the hurried factoid-finding of daily papers. The ideal candidate must have the ability to create in-depth and compelling stories that explore issues, events, and people.

We offer competitive salaries and benefits. Send cover letter, résumé, and clips to: Ward Harkavy
Interim Editor in Chief Village Voice
36 Cooper Square
New York, NY 10003

Sorry, I'm not very good at the internet.

― Martin Van Buren (Martin Van Buren), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:21 (twenty years ago)

hey, man, it's cool, since you're from the 19th century and all.

― hstencil (hstencil), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:22 (twenty years ago)

I'm O.K. with it, too.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:24 (twenty years ago)

where did you find that opening, joseph? there's no sign of it on the voice website.

― geeta (geeta), Thursday, 6 April 2006 22:24 (twenty years ago)

It's on the letters/corrections page and on the last pages of letters in the print edition.
