5:45 PM on Mon Nov 9 2009 by Maura
Hi everyone. Just wanted to let you know that today is my last day as editor of Idolator. The site will continue on, and I will continue to write about music, but we’ve decided to part ways. Despite my nominal status as a “writer,” I am straight-up terrible at goodbyes. So I just have a list of people to thank before I exit stage left. More »

CMJ Day Two: I Have To Admit It’s Getting Better
9:00 AM on Thu Oct 23 2008 by Kate Richardson
If Tuesday night was the epitome of all that is irritating and mediocre about CMJ, last night was somewhat redemptive, though I still think the organizers should just gather the best acts and put them in one place. But hey, the evening was so pleasant, in fact, that I don’t even have any bingo squares to mark off!

We’ve been following the exploits of the moshpitting, Jonas Brothers-hating YouTube sensation ADiehardFOBFan all week, but only Alex Goldberg–who likes to go by the name XxstrokesmegafanxX from time to time–was outraged enough by her profane, grouchy tirades to craft his own point-by-point… More »

Well, it took him less than a week, but Idolator videographer Alex Goldberg has found a band that irritates him more than the frontman of French dance-rock band Neimo. Here, with supporting video evidence, he relates witnessing the “death of ironic hipster karaoke rock,” the plague of bands featuring one or more people on stage “singing”/miming/dancing like tools while backed by iPod or laptop.

“I Might Be In Love With A Guy Who Bites Julian Casblancas”: One Videographer’s Confession

Last weekend, Idolator videographer Alex Goldberg caught French synth-punk band Neimo for the second time. The first time, he was so irritated by shaggy frontdude Bruno Dallesandro’s onstage mimicry of rock’s great frontmen that he intended to use his digital skills to poke fun at him for all the Internet to see.
