Because I quit! Okay, not really. But Feb. 29 will be my last day as “Senior Editor” here at Idolator. On March 1, I will become “Editor-At-Large.” What does this mean? Part of what it means is that I’ll actually be able to leave the house when the sun is shining. (Sometimes. Maybe.) But really it just means we’re changing things up a little bit over the next few months.
Among other things, “Editor-At-Large” is partially cutesy code for “Features Editor,” and over those next few months we’ll be bringing you more feature-style posts than ever before, whether they’re preexisting Idolator departments (Second Spin, O.O.P.) or wacky new ones (which we’ll keep under wraps for the moment). We’ll also be expanding our stable of genre-focused columns, like Al’s “Corporate Rock Still Sells,” into the worlds of dance music, R&B, country, and beyond.
All of which means we’re now going to need a third Idolator to keep up with the infuriating/hilarious world of daily music news. Do you have that kind of steel reserve (or at least a good SSRI connect)? If so, Maura will be along shortly to explain what we’re looking for and where you should send your Real World-style video application. (No nudes, plz.) And for now that’s all I’ll say, mostly because she’s paid me off to keep quiet about what working with her is really like.
Where the hell is Large? And is it in a red or blue state?
it is actually a sunken city at the bottom of baltimore’s harbor.
After watching this season of The Wire, I’m guessing that’s probably not the most comfortable place to be if you want anyone to find you.
Baltimore’s Harbor naturally implies “sunken”.
Will Feb. 29 be Ryan Schreiber day?
Clearly, this was the inevitable result of your failed application for that VH1 reality-”find true love show”:
