So I can finally talk about my new gig now. CBS Interactive (the thing that bought CNET) is starting a new music blog, and I'll be writing for it. Former Spin and Blender editor Craig Marks is running it, and the other writer they've hired is Andy Greenwald, who wrote the emo bible Nothing Feels Good, so you know this shit is legit. The site's called Juke, and it'll launch in the fall. This won't be that much like Status; I'll be writing a whole bunch of posts every day rather than spending forever ranting about one thing, and I'll have actual editors, so hopefully I won't disappear so far up my ass so often. I'll put something up here when the thing actually launches. So there it is. I hope you guys read it.
