Hey, did you know The A.V. Club has seven local sites? Every day, writers in Austin, Chicago, Denver, Madison, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and the Twin Cities are posting about music, films, and other events and news happening in their cities. Whether you live in one of these cities or elsewhere, there’s plenty of great local stuff that’s worth a look. Here’s a round-up of what caught our attention this week.

• Twin Cities talked to comedian and curmudgeon Adam Carolla about all sorts of things and he was, well, curmudgeonly. 

• Austin, with clear eyes and a full heart, debated the necessity of the Friday Night Lights prop auction.

• Philadelphia caught up with The Gregory Brothers, the geniuses behind "Auto-Tune the News," and got their reaction to various YouTube comments.

• Chicago reflected on the just-announced Lollapalooza lineup and how the mega-fest fits into the larger festival landscape.

• Denver sat down with local comedian Harrison Rains and analyzed the filmography of the great Steven Seagal via his films' trailers.

• Milwaukee dismissed Mulder and Scully and explored the state of Wisconsin's strangest and dumbest brushes with the paranormal.

• Madison listed all the different ways one could get drunk in town, be it celebrating the royal wedding or enjoying craft beer.
