This Week in the Voice

Oh, and J. Hoberman has a review.
You can't go wrong but you can go blind with Michael Musto: "Which flamboyant promoter orders lube by the crate?" etc. Afterwards he goes to talk to the real people, e.g. Julie Atlas Muz.
When rapper Charles Hamilton started to go down, it was his online presence -- blog posts, tweets, pics, etc. -- that got pulled back first. Heretofore cloistered artists are "now free to grouse, giggle, and emote in real-time," says Ben Detrick, and that changes the game.
"You don't understand," the caller said. "We've never had great pizza in Bed-Stuy before." Yet she promised Saraghina was it. Is it? Robert Sietsema investigates (and we never thought we'd hear him call lambrusco "like PBR mixed with Brunello").
