Most of the Voice's music writers are readable, but barely interesting. Douglas Wolk is the one notable exception, other than that, you get pretty much standard categorization, unimaginative writing, etc. J hoberman can still write a good movie review on occasion, but other than that, the guys at NY press are right--the voice should be taken out and shot, a mercy killing. As ridiculous as Ny press' inflammatory politics are, the Voice is just limp. And Ny press lets its writers write, be ambitious. That's something, at least... Adam heimlich is still a bitchy crackhead. Sam
