• Overthinking It

Analysis/deconstruction of popcultural objects. Recommended posts: The Real (Symbolic, and Imaginary) Ghostbusters (which analyzes the film in terms of Lacan’s notions of the Real), Bon Jovi: Livin’ on a Prayer and Music Theory, and I Will Always Have Been Back: Toward a Grand Unified Theory of Schwarzenegger.

• The Vigilant Citizen

The problem with conspiracy theory websites: Most of the time they’re totally unreadable, due to shitty Geocities-style site design, terrible writing, or both (Timecube, anyone?).  The world has been waiting for a website that dishes out ruminations on the Illuminati in a reasonably engaging writer’s voice, using a clean Wordpress blog template.  Vigilant Citizen is that website. Recommended post: Transformers 2: NWO Agenda and Occult Symbols.

• Stuff Christian Culture Likes

Modeled after Stuff White People Like, emphasizing the peculiarities of evangelical Christian culture.  I read the blog cover-to-cover with a pal who grew up up in that tradition, and she swears it’s all true.

• Geeky Sex

Don’t read it at work. A thoughtful blog about sexuality and the culture war.

• Texts From Last Night

Does what it says on the tin.  Regularly updated. I like the debauched Schrödinger-ness of this one.
