Is Everybody Who Edits the Village Voice Really This Stupid?

You mean you don't want countless listicles and articles about strippers? For shame.

can we have articles *by* strippers?

i don't think she's a stripper, and its not really an article, but the author of this Voice listicle was groped a lot by rando creepers at burning man.

don't know why its in the music section either really. though i know there is music at burning man.

Still so fucking pissed they fired (or did she quit?) Maura. She was the only reason I read that rag.

Per the NY Times blogpost posted upthread, she was fired

This new editor is so talented:

"Here at Sound of the City, however, we're fearless motherfuckers who refuse to be pushed around. Also, we're drunk."

Watch out guys, we've got a badass over here.

that's sort of an old school journalism thing... no more needlessly self-mythologizing tho

"no less" i mean

been dying for ANYONE to post something he's written that is, if not noteworthy, at least readable and justifies his existence. too lazy to do it on my own which is why I don't really give a shit. /internethardman

the wine thing is terrible. the one page of it i could take. should be on, like, the national lampoon website if they still have one.

okay i checked. r.i.p. natlamp

voice music section online should just be a link to something awful site now. cut out the middleman.

thank u sclover

also like VV bio noted his book on philly dive bars which, even if it's like your only book you don't really lead w/ that

If indeed one were to find oneself interviewing the winner of such a contest (please Jesus noooo, I'll be good just please nooo), those might well be decent questions to ask. But any evidence of his editing skills?

That was mentioned on the other Voice thread I think:

Village Voice Media being acquired by New Times very soon

Antoine D'Anthac is the name of the fictional playwright within Resnais' film. Jean Anouilh is the real-life playwright being adapted. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Anouilh

Factcheckers are people employed by a publication to prevent errors like this from finding their way into print.

Antoine D'Anthac burrrrrrn

I just got an email from the voice entitled "Weekly Music News: Funny Fart Noises." Case closed.

lol i browsed past the vv music page the other day out of curiosity, saw that headline, and just kept it moving

that's not true, i clicked on the joke review of cruel summer and the kanye sex tape

x-post-Editor decided that was the only way to get people to read a review of a movie re longtime WBAI radio host Bob Fass.

I'm not defending the headline, just noting what the fart article is actually about

The interview process will include an editing test. . . . Include recent clips, if you have them.

1) edit here is a sentence about guitarist Al Di Meola that I once read in a local publication

http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2012/10/this_week_in_th_70.php

Elsewhere, Raymond Cummings chats with C.S. Yeh about his sonic shift, and the Noise Maker's new embrace of-- shutters-- reverb and melody.

I mean, really

eep

my son says "latter" for "ladder" because he's convinced i mistakenly pronounce all ts in the middle of words as ds, so he autocorrects on the fly, if that makes any sense

anyway, what i mean is that maybe all that's happening here is that the writer is the 3-year-old son of an american expat

also, reverb and melody? Is reverb alien to noise?

McManus seems so simple, like a turkey that drowns in the rain because it doesn't have the sense not to stare up into the sky.

nice pice by ray tho

piece*

etiding, what are it.

i highly recommend this book about a turkey who's so stupid it can't even wear simple articles of clothing correctly that other animals have no problem with. my son goes into hysterics yelling "silly turkey!" at every page.

hehe

i feel like i need to point out that beloved ilxor ray himself was 99 percent not responsible for this heinous act against coherence

seriously though i had my problems with harvilla's reign obviously and maura was always pushing a boulder up a hill while being pecked by vultures but jesus christ the brazenness with which they've just decided to take daily massive dumps on the voice's legacy since her departure is kinda breathtaking

have not been surprised by any of it since the great purge.

So how much of this crap winds up in the actual newspaper? And how many pages is the music section these days? (I haven't seen an actual issue in forever, not that I want to.)

music features take up two pages, the rest is on the web

Thanx Bulger!

I didn't even know someone as stupid as Brian had the capacity to get his feelings hurt -- I assumed he just stared off into space all day drooling and jerking off:

Brian McManus ‏@mcguilloteen
The ilx circle jerk up boring mountain trudges forever onward.

*shutters*

Shutters will never not be funny.

beef shutters

most ppl would think a circle jerk has to be essentially static but this kid flips all scripts

can't believe no one invited me to the ilx circle jerk ;_;
