LN subsidiary Veeps slashed nearly all staff from Brooklyn Vegan, Alternative Press, Revolver and Goldmine yesterday.
Assholes.
I really like Brooklyn Vegan, not the best writing ever but lots of useful lists.

Hang on, we’re missing the actual headline detail.
Veeps was founded by Good Charlotte’s Benji and Joel Madden

Thats awful. The tour news section of Brooklyn Vegan was essential reading every day to keep up to date.
I’d like to think Pitchfork will re-seize the initiative and try and attract BVs audience. I doubt it though.
Lifestyles of the rich and famous eh? Fuck them.

They do a good punk/emo round up and the guy who does it just posted an article a few minutes ago so maybe theres still stuff happening
Seems to be vague signs of life on the Brooklyn Vegan page. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Not gonna happen - the staffers like Andrew Sacher have all said they’ve been let go (he’s started a substack)
