Village Voice Sucks

Every city, Miami, toronto, amsterdam, has a free weekly paper that gives all the upcoming DJ's/listings at dance clubs, a little bio, and some basic info(price, scene, #)in New York you have to buy Time Out to get this info, the Voice is so out of touch, Tricia Romano "club reporter" is so out of the scene, never a review of Armin, JP, Tiesto, anyone, I get it Voice your a liberal paper you hate Bush, anthing remotely Republican is evil, Im willing to accept that if you were some how provide more relevant information pertaining to the EDM scene, Holy Shit the Daily News has better listings than you, I mean this whole year you did one article on PVD in central park and you reffered to it as a rave, other than anti- war hippies, who the hell else are you trying to appeal to, can you hire a reporter who actually is in to today's scene, I know Palladim and vinyl were great but we are in a whole new century, can you look at how other big cities do it and just copy!!!

i'm sure tricia doesn't want to be seen anywhere near any of these events -- which are hardly constitutive of the nyc scene in any case.

the voice has been sucking lately, but for reasons unrelated to anything in your post.

Maybe its the "scene" and not the paper

and I could care less

i agree with you... i had a similar beef with BPM magazine... they did a whole issue on New York nightlife.... and all it was was like 15 pages of synth-electro-trash-tranny-nuwave spots that fit like 200 people tops... and all the pictures were all these trashy out-of-towner types (by out-of-towners, i dont mean b&t crowd, i mean those midwesterners that rebel from their society there and come here to whatever performing arts college and 5 years later, that peculiar breed of new yorker who, after about 6 years in school, thinks their exclusive and THE SHIT because they go to a "club" every Tuesday where everyone wears about 30$ of makeup trying to cross between a "Party Monster" character and the emo kid they were back at home...

haha yeah theres a lot of these kids in my school, thus, when i saw BPM's feature on New York (their version of New York), that pissed me off haa

Ummm obviously if im here i do use the internet, I was just saying i still enjoy reading newspapers and it would be nice if the biggest, greatest city in the world had a free weekly paper that was in touch with whats happeening, not only this scene, but rock, comedy clubs, good restaurants and bars etc, obviously there are many places on the web to get this info, but why not a newspaper as well.

Tricia Romano no longer writes listings at the voice, they are now done by two people - Shawn Bosler and Keisha Franklin

the onion is entertaining and free..not real news, but the book, music, and movie reviews are all decent and they have a listing of upcoming shows and events each week...havent seen a story on a dj yet but they compile a decent list of edm talent that comes through town
