Today's Online Commentary & Diversions:

• List: X-Ray Spex's Will Pfeifer names his Pop Culture Books of the Year for 2010:

"This is the sort of book I love more than any other. It reveals a world I never knew existed — in this case, the bizarre world of elaborate, mean-spirited, downright dangerous lodge initiations — and does so with a real affection for and appreciation of the past. [Catalog No. 439:] Burlesque Paraphernalia is… the sort of book that makes you think life might've been tougher a long time ago, but it was probably a hell of a lot more interesting, too."

"All you need to know about Destroy All Movies is that it's such a complete guide to 'punks on film' (as the subtitle promises) that not only does it include Star Trek IV because of the scene with the punk on the bus, it interviews that guy. Also, the pink-and-black-and-white design theme of the book deserves some sort of award."
