Chuck Eddy fired from Village Voice music section.

No Eddy, no NYLPM. (about half our links used to be to Voice features. The other half were slagging off the Guardian)
No Eddy on the Voice, no ILXers in the Voice (and fewer Voicers in ILX)
No Eddy, no ILX come to think of it. (thf. no Poptimists)
ect ect

Best of luck Chuck in whatever you do next.

The future of print music writing has looked murky for a long time: I worry somewhat for the good writers and people I know who are involved in it.

(time for DJ Martian's new darkwave zine then!)

I would ban all advertising from magazines and newspapers if I could, if only because every publication I have EVER been involved with has at some point featured someone rabbiting ON AND ON AND BLOODY ON about advertising to me and it is usually at the expense of something good in the, y'know, actual content. And I don't care if that means nothing can be funded!!!!!!!!!!
