The news is still coming in, but longtime music editor for the Boston Phoenix has resigned as of yesterday, Media Farm's been told. Among other candidates to replace him, Michael Brodeur, the Dig's previous longtime music editor and short-lived editor thereafter, is said to be at the top of the heap. While it is being spun as a resignation, insiders say that he was asked to leave amidst increasingly painful music coverage and a loath for all things "hip." Lance Gould, editor of the Boston Phoenix, was seen packing his desk for him, although he is allowing the aging scenester to apparently continue writing in between his moderate doses of Geritol. Ashare has been with the Phoenix since before the Civil War ... we'll keep you posted if we find out more.
