Yet another Williamsburg music venue is closing, as Glasslands announced on its website today that its New Year's Eve show will be its last.

Gothamist speculates that Vice Media, which is in the process of moving its hipness empire into the neighborhood, is to blame. There's some kind of weird irony to that. [Gothamist; previously]
