Happy 30th birthday to David Bowie's atemporal cyberpunk neonoir murder mystery concept album— an amazingly deft exegesis of the early dream & burgeoning pre-millennial zeitgeist nightmare of the mid-late 90s internet; an album which also somehow proves more prescient by the day.

I've written about music since I was in high school, and I've been lucky enough to interview plenty of my heroes. But until this month, I never had the opportunity to talk to England's loudest and most punctual band. For the @latimes.com, I sat down with the mighty Spinal Tap.
Spinal Tap is back and ready to talk. Just don't bring up the last movie
Older, louder, though perhaps not wiser, Spinal Tap returns with a new film and some new fans you may know, including Paul McCartney and Elton John.

Waiting years for a film sequel. You had to read magazines like Starlog for sci-fi film news. You maybe saw a trailer once.

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

It’s rare these days I get to write a game story, but I felt this an important work of art to document. ‘The Morrison Game Factory’ is the best narrative I experienced this summer. www.latimes.com/lifestyle/st...
This TV writer crafted her most powerful narrative yet — in the form of a board game
In 'The Morrison Game Factory,' Lauren Bello created an affecting, story-driven tabletop game about an abandoned board game factory — a tale of love and loss.
