There was a time—say, in January—when getting an interview with President Barack Obama was the biggest fish a budding new media behemoth could reel in. But now we have way too many of those fish.
Today, Noisey UK—the randy brother of Vice’s music channel Noisey—posted a review of a British music festival written in text message by the musician GFOTY, who is one of the more minor members of the pop-parody crew PC Music. If you read the post now you will notice blocks of redacted text; if you had read it earlier this morning, you would have seen GFOTY making a rather awful racist joke.
One day in the near future, Vice Media will take over a block in Williamsburg, Brooklyn that once held, among other establishments, Glasslands and 285 Kent, two venues that helped keep indie music alive in New York even as condos sprouted up around them. Here is what they once looked like, and what they look like now.
