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!)
