Jillian Horowitz

Jillian Horowitz was born in New York and raised mostly in South Florida. She has no idea how she ended up living in Sarasota for eight months out of the year, but spends that time pursuing her bachelor's degree in literature and gender studies at New College of Florida. Most of her free time is wasted on 'living' but the rest of it is spent on persistent obsessions with Russian authors and pop culture. One day, in the very distant future, she might publish significant writings, but in the meantime is letting herself be sucked into this blogging nonsense. She also enjoys vodka. Perhaps too much.

Josh Love

Josh Love was baptized a Poptimist sometime around 2003 (not to be confused with the time he was regrettably baptized as an actual Baptist in '93), but continues to cling to some of his indie heroes and meat-and-potatoes rock idols either out of stubbornness or spite. He hopes to bring a sorely marginalized view to AGI – that of the domestic beer-swilling sports fanatic.

Josh’s two favorite things in the world (besides his fiancée) are quite possibly country music and the NBA. This might lead you to imagine he looks like Cowboy Troy, which couldn’t be further from the truth. Josh does not stand out at indie-rock shows. His work has appeared in the Village Voice, Athens Banner-Herald, Raleigh News and Observer, and Georgia Music Magazine, but his heart belongs to Stylus.
