BREAKING NEWS! MATT ASHARE IS OUT AT BOSTON PHOENIX

By Media Farm on Fri, Mar 7, 2008 2:25 pm

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.

After making it through a 20-hour bus ride in Argentina a few years ago, I've learned to appreciate all the things you see along the way during a road trip that you miss on a plane.

 


Fuck Michael Jackson

The guy could dance, hooked up with a couple of good producers, diddled little kids (allegedly, yeah right), and is now dead. Good riddance.


Dear, dear Governor Sanford

When apologizing publically to your wife and constituents, here's a rough list of things you should probably avoid mentioning:

 

1. Your experience, even that which falls within your college years, of working across national borders without a work visa. This goes double for high-ranking, GOP president-hopefuls.

 

2. That you were exhausted by your own efforts to turn down federal stimulus money.
