[...]We've got a whole conceptual shift on our hands: WE HAVE LIBERATED OURSELVES FROM "INTERNET NEWS." 

And what that means is, we got tired of posting the same shit as everybody else (even if it did have our spin).

From here on out, we have a new rule: If this is something that someone would not conceivably want to read 10, 20 years down the line, fuck it. We're not posting it.

Q&A: Nick Spitzer Of American Routes

"There’s a lot of culture here, and like a lot of northern cities, some of the music is shared but it’s hard to hear all of it — the neighborhoods seem a little isolated from one another sometimes. Also, I don’t know if the vernacular culture of the city is always put across the right way, without irony."
