What’s On at Flavorpill: The Links That Made the Rounds in the Office

+

Today at Flavorpill, we watched the official trailer for Scenes From The Suburbs, Spike Jonze’s companion short film to his music video for Arcade Fire’s “The Suburbs.” We were horrified to hear that Larry King may join the cast of The Daily Show. We couldn’t decide which Disney movie Broadway musical adaptation idea is more misguided: Freaky Friday or Father of the Bride. We watched some of the angriest walk-outs in 60 Minutes history. We were excited to hear that longtime Flavorwire favorite Maura Johnston is the Village Voice’s new music editor.

Maura Leaves Idolator, The Internet Takes It Personally

6

My music-heavy Twitter feed sang a mournful goodbye to a dear friend last night as Maura Johnston logged her last post at Idolator. “Just wanted to let you know that today is my last day as editor of Idolator,” she wrote. “The site will continue on, and I will continue to write about music, but we’ve decided to part ways.” The URL may remain, but it will never be the same mighty blog it was with Maura at the helm.
