Meet The New Boss

Hey everyone–

Brian, the lame duck here. As some of you may know, Friday will be my last day at Idolator, and I’m extremely pleased to announce that Associate Editor Maura Johnston will be taking over the site. This is good news for Idolator readers, and a bit of a milestone, as Maura is the first Love/Hate fan to assume leadership at a music-news outlet in what must be years.

Feel free to send any congrats/gripes her way. I’ll be in the back, phoning it in more aggressively than usual.

    Congrats!

    I assume if Maura had not gotten the position, someone would be living in fear of being hit in the noggin with an E’Nuff Z’nuff cassette.

    Grats! Does this mean the bad puns are gonna stop now? I hope not.

    Brian has a footlocker full of all-occasion puns that he’s leaving behind that should hold out until at least 2012.

    I’m just going to assume that this Maura can be trusted until I see evidence to the contrary.
