While Idolator wouldn’t likely be considered a friend of the site, I felt a little sad to see the news that Wired is closing its music blog Listening Post, sending Eliot Van Buskirk to the site’s business blog and Scott Thill to the culture blog Epicenter. I don’t know if I’ll miss the site’s two or three posts a day, but I don’t think I’d go to the extent of the commenter on the finale post who said “can’t you get rid of scott shill and keep the blog?” [Listening Post]
