Profile
Josh Modell (General Manager, @joshmodell) made his first foray into journalism in grade school, when he wrote a sarcastic piece skewering lunchroom food. (Sample line: "It was smooth sailing on my Taco Boat!") The subject was re-examined in a middle-school monologue (to rapturous applause), but Modell eventually turned his critical pen toward music. In late 1993, he launched Milk Magazine, a regional print publication (this is before ya'll had websites!) with an eye toward indie-rock. Milk wound to a close just as The A.V. Club came calling, and with more than a little backstabbing and water-cooler character assassination, Modell worked his way up the ladder to General Manager, a title which probably means nothing to you, but at least sort of pleases his parents.

Chicago, we're doing another super-secret comedy show, and it goes on sale tomorrow
Four minutes by our count. Sorry if you didn't make it...

It's been delayed for super boring reasons that have nothing to do with Scott; I'm hoping to make a more "official" announcement tomorrow. It's still happening, though!

The Auto-Tune The News people songified the Cleveland-kidnapping hero and it is sublime
I don't know if anybody has linked this yet, but I thought it was one of the smartest reactions to all the reactions. http://www.guardian.co.uk/comm...

An update from The A.V. Club
Totally unrelated! We've just had a couple of hiccups there; it'll be posted early next week.

Hey writers, The A.V. Club is looking for contributors
And in case it wasn't clear: Don't send us links to other stuff you've written. Write a new Newswire or Great Job Internet post that you think we'd be interested in publishing.

One of Dinosaur Jr.’s best tracks was relegated to a B-side
I didn't realize it was on the hits record, that's amazing. I do remember seeing him play it acoustic way back when, along with his Smiths cover.
