This Week's Voice: Summer Jam 2010, Christina Aguilera, Against Me!, Bret Easton Ellis, and More
In this week's Village Voice, Rob Harvilla keeps a running diary of Summer Jam 2010, where the best highlight Hot 97 could muster was a set from DJ Khaled. What happened, New York? Elsewhere, Drew Hinshaw thinks hard about Christina Aguilera's new Bionic, and Dan Weiss catches up with Against Me! in the Weezer/Blue Album stage of their post-psuedo-punk development.
