The A.V. Club has a smattering of local sites, and every day, writers in these locales 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 roundup of what caught our attention this week.
• Milwaukee was shocked—shocked, we tell you—to learn the Girl Scouts booted a troop leader for running a “satanic” website (i.e., one that has a lot to do with local metal bands, and nothing to do with Satan).
• Chicago turned a skeptical eye to the alleged lineup “leaks” for Pitchfork Music Fest and Lollapalooza.
• Toronto, still in a Nic Cage lather, ran down the A-to-Z of Con Air.
• The Twin Cities learned how to name sweaters and babies from Leslie of first-generation YouTube sensation Leslie And The Lys.
• Madison talked to rapper Sage Francis about his art and that time Rick Rubin complimented his beard.
• Denver chatted with electronica artist Mux Mool about his first gig and why it was such a disaster.
• Indianapolis recovered from the Super Bowl insanity by delving into some Craigslist Missed Connections from the blowout weekend.
