Electricity and Lust

Electricity and Lust is an online magazine of links to all things pop culture. Not just any old rubbish makes it’s way to their expertly kept pages however, oh no this is a site for the discerning wonderweb user. Mixing a joyful and bubbly slant on stuff that’s actually interesting rather than just any old rubbish, the rubbish that makes up the vast majority of other websites in a similar vein, Electricity and Lust always maintains a certain air of class with an intriguing mix of links relating to music, fashion, politics, TV, film and more which makes for a refreshing and mature look at pop culture. It was quite a while back when I thought about doing a review of their site and I would have marked them down slightly for not having enough original, well-written and thought-provoking articles, something which they’re more than capable of producing. But since the picture above was taken they’ve not only changed the site’s appearance but now sport a series of columns which make for perfect lunchtime reads at work. It’s a dangerous site which features a hell of a lot of content and considering their daily update schedule this is no mean feat, dangerous for people like me who can spend hours on the net reading article after article… Add this one to your favourites and you’ll never look back (or look at another culture news site again).

Plus all the post titles pun on the word “link”, it must be some Herculean task to come up with gold such as “Silence of the Links” as part of their season on Anthony Hopkins-related links every day. Worth the price of admission on this basis alone.
