Mortal was the first band that showed me that Christian bands could hold their own with secular artists.

I was completely spellbound by Low’s stripped down, sparser-than-sparse sound.

This album was a constant companion during a long period of heartbreak and doubt.

This is an album in which I still find peace, relief, and inspiration to this day.

Put simply, no album feels more like high school to me, for better or worse, than Wish.

Amazon is saving good TV sci-fi and producing a massive new fantasy series, Godzilla faces his classic foes, and a great DC animated series returns.

Also: Nicolas Cage’s treasure protecting, Thor loses his hammer, Hellboy, Scottish drug addicts, and Michael Bay mayhem.

Also: The Avengers, The Tree of Life, Tor Lundvall, Hollywood sexism, soldiers and America, and Sam Harris’s tribalism.

Sleek ethereal pop, serene drones, South Korean dreampop, and lush indie-folk.

In a single stroke, Apple made computers fun, vibrant, hip, and personable again.

A Japanese take on the Caped Crusader, fans pay homage to an iconic anime movie, and the Big G himself comes back to Netflix.
