Let's get this started: second verse, same as the first.

If you want a taste of the Tucker's written word, but you can't handle the magic of this site and you like spending money on pretty books filled with pretty pictures, than you'd best spend seventy-five dollars and buy a copy of this, otherwise known as the first full-on monograph for seminal fashion photographer Bob Richardson, who was, and due to his impact, still is, a big fucking deal. Even though he is Totally Dead. Another Dead Hero to people with too much disposable income, and little interest in super-heroes? Well, that would have to be Andy Warhol--coming in less than a month is Ron Gallela's latest monograph: That's Great! Tucker handled some of the heavy design lifting on this one, so don't expect it to read like a Jeph Loeb review. Do expect it to be lots of pictures of sexy people who are now dead. No, he doesn't get paid extra if you buy these books. And for the win, you can catch up with Tucker and super-hero babblings at his comixology column, which now includes extra sass.

For those who don't know the music of William Basinski, this is not a recommendation that you go running to check it out. Not because you won't like it, but because you Probably Won't, as Basinski's work isn't much like anything else out there. For those who do, all his work has recently been added to the catalog of mp3s at emusic, which, since Emusic operates under a fixed price for a fixed number of mp3s, regardless of length, means it's a ridiculously cheap way to pick up a lot of the dudes work. So, if you're in need of hour long tracks exploring the soundscapes of disintegrating tape loops, then this is the cheapest way you're ever going to be able to do that, short of stealing it. (Which you could do just as easily, but William Basinski isn't exactly the face of evil corporate music. He's a dude who makes hour long drones of disintegrating tape loops. Help a brother out.)
Link: The Gay Utopia Part Deuce
Obviously, you've already gone to the Gay Utopia, as it's still as great as the last time we linked it. And although it's a great source for smart-y pants-y articles, you're not really culturally in the know until you take another look at the team-up between Noah Berlatsky and Johnny Ryan, which resulted in something like this. Did you click it? It's called "Alpha Male...In Don't Be Gay!" You should just click it. Again.
Link: The Return of the Nabin
The world cried some tears earlier this year, when the AV Club's Nathan Rabin finished up his magnum opus "My Year of Flops," but he's happily started up a new feature, which is almost as good, and just as funny. I Watched This On Purpose Go. Justice Served.

Postmodern Blarney is that site you wish you'd thought of yourself, while being reminded you're just not that fucking clever at the same time. While you might not know exactly who's he joshing on here, it'll probably still make you chuckle. Either way, the Man of the Moment is always pretty hot.
