Godspeed You! Black Emperor: Finding Beauty in the Apocalypse

Last updated on: October 11, 2012 at 10:47 pm By Jason Morehead

Earlier this month, the enigmatic post-rock collective known as Godspeed You! Black Emperor — their name comes from a 1976 Japanese documentary about a biker gang, in case you were wondering — announced that they’d be releasing their first album in ten years. For many folks, myself included, this was a momentous occasion. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, Godspeed reigned supreme in the post-rock scene. Though other artists (Mogwai, Explosions In The Sky, Sigur Rós) were making similar music... Read more

Why Have Kids? Thoughts from a Traditional Feminist

Last updated on: October 12, 2012 at 7:57 am By Erin Wyble Newcomb

It’s typical for me to read contemporary feminist journalism ambivalently; on the one hand, I hold a doctoral degree in Women’s Studies, and I specialized in feminist theory. On the other hand, I wrote my dissertation on evangelical women (much to the horror of some of my committee members, who didn’t stick around long). Both my faith and my commitment to at least some principles of feminism have made me suspect to members of each “camp,” though I know I’m... Read more

Research Shows that Complaining Turns Brains to Mush

Last updated on: October 11, 2012 at 9:38 am By Erin Straza

You know that feeling of fight or flight that comes over you when you get caught in the middle of someone’s gripe session? You want out, but you aren’t sure how to escape. You try to turn the conversation to something more positive, to no avail. You finally get away, but the negativity lingers, clouding your thoughts, preventing you from concentrating on work and making decisions. There’s a reason for that. An Inc. article by Minda Zetlin reports: Listening to... Read more

The Opponent that Lance Armstrong Has Yet to Master

Last updated on: October 11, 2012 at 1:27 pm By Brad Williams

There is such a thing as wanting to win too badly. Lance Armstrong and his team are examples of that, as are, it seems, the majority of cyclists in the Tour de France over the last 15 years or so. Yesterday, the USADA (US Anti-Doping Agency), came out with its case against Lance Armstrong, and my hope in him was finally crushed. I have been a Lance Armstrong fan, not because of his personality, but because of his Herculean feat... Read more

How the #FirstWorldProblems Anthem Video (Sort of) Missed the Point

Last updated on: October 10, 2012 at 6:53 am By C. Ryan Knight

The #FirstWorldProblems Anthem video (embedded below) may not have gone viral (yet), but it is making the rounds. Reactions to the video have been mixed, as Emel O’Toole explains in the Guardian. Writing for Co.Create, Joe Berkowitz has aptly captured both a central problem behind the now-famous #FirstWorldProblems Tweets and the rationale driving the ad group to release this video: While taken individually #FirstWorldProblems jokes may seem innocuous, but according to DDB New York, there are approximately five of the tweets...
