About

MattChrisRyan write about movies, music, comics, tv, and other stuff as it strikes them. We tend to tiptoe off the beaten path. We like it better that way – less foot traffic past our teepee.

Once and future columnists: JonathanJonMattJanPaulEvanJohn. Somehow Jonathan got us a bit of press with the LGBT crowd, for which we thank him.

Oh yeah, we have a podcast! Matt, Ryan, Evan, and John host it, but Matt usually plays host host.

Bands: Send us your music if you want us to consider you for a Crate-Digging column! E-mail us at criticalmassesmedia@gmail.com. Put “Crate-Digging Music” in the subject line. We’ve been getting quite a few submissions, so apologies if we’re taking too long to respond or not responding at all. If we don’t get back to you, don’t take it personally – our writing staff is small and our tastes are pretty streamlined, so we may not run a column on your record based on nothing more than personal preference. But thank you for considering us!
