    • CHVRCHES to Guest Star in New Archie Comic Book “The Archies”
      Archie and his friends Betty, Veronica, Jughead, and Reggie have gotten a lot hipper in recent years, in part thanks to the darker version of their story and characters in Riverdale (and the well-received CW TV adaptation). In October a new comic book series, The Archies, will feature Archie and his friends in a band on tour.

    • The PLAYlist 10: Twilight Struggle
      Who’s up for a harrowingly intense, three-hour-plus Cold War simulation? In this volume of The PLAYlist we’ll be looking at GMT Games’ classic head-to-head wargame Twilight Struggle, which is the most fun you’ll ever have staring down the threat of utter and absolute nuclear obliteration.
    • TCFC
      Liars make pitch-black art-rock that morphs and shifts from album to album, but always retains a core of bitter, urgent darkness. Even 2007's somewhat conventional indie-rock self-titled album and 2012's pretty, Kid A-biting WIXIW feel like examinations of the grimy corners of the soul.
