Technological alienation? Old news. Australian band Regurgitator was all over it back in the 90s, and they were funny, too. Mike Vincent revisits two of their best albums in “Regurgitated”
The NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament is the single best event in American sports, but there’s always room for improvement. Gavin Craig offers some (somewhat unusual) ideas on making March Madness just a little more crazy in “Snark Madness”
Sarah Wener finally dives into Doctor Who, and finds that she had the good luck to start with the best Doctor, Christopher Eccleston. Read “A noob watches Doctor Who”
Comics are more interesting when things are more than just black-and-white, in the storytelling that is. Matt Santori-Griffith takes on two examples where characters and their choices don’t fall clearly into neat categories, X-Factor/X-Statix and The Secret Six. Read “Mutants and misfits”
Gavin Craig takes on homemade (and handmade) mayonnaise. See if his whisking is up to the task in “Beefy forearms and emulsions”
