Lists

By now you might well have read that I’ll be taking an indefinite hiatus from the column and the podcast. After this list, I should have one more, and that will probably be all I’ll be posting for quite some time. I’m not sure when, or even if, I’ll be Read More

This was a rough one, ya’ll, but for those of us who are still standing come January 2017 — we did it! We made it out of one hell of a year. An Olympian lied, a lot of icons died, and when it came to the odds, a reality star defied. If 2016 was an Read More

For this year, I’ve decided to include some geeky videos that aren’t necessarily musical. But don’t worry, there are plenty of new tunes to add to your Christmas playlist. So let’s get to it, then, shall we? Read More

Well, geez, it turns out that trying to write reviews, create a podcast (the next two of which will be just me talking about Christmas music and a year end round-up), and also somehow grade all of my students’ semester work isn’t nearly as easy to Read More

Halloween is near, but there are plenty of times we've been scared by scary things during other occasions of the year. I asked around to see what the scariest thing people have watched, read, or played was. Read More

OK, this month I might actually have to split this list up into three parts, although the third part may get pushed to next month. There’s just been a ton of stuff that’s come out that I’d like to help promote. So let’s get to it! Read More

For part two this month, we have one more EP, a couple of parodies, and an erotic tale! Read More

This month we move forward with a handful of shows that made up the NBC lineup that was dubbed “Must See TV.” These are shows that had the privilege to be on the network’s most watched night of the week. Starting things off is a show that is credited by Read More

Being a nerd or an avid fandom follower is not the hidden shame it once was. With people running around playing Pokémon Go and convention attendance growing, people are finding themselves in a large family of like-minded people. Mostly thanks to the Read More
