...remarkable how unremarkable it is that a gay person is hosting the Oscars. True, it's not as if we lack for gay people watching the Oscars, and DeGeneres did host the Emmys in 2001.

After several tumultuous years of creative tensions, personal differences, and record label difficulties—not to mention a grand parting of ways—The Ataris have finally re-emerged with “Welcome the Night,” their sixth studio release. However, this phoenix lacks the fire to make it the glorious rebirth the pop-punk-cum-alternative band had planned for its first album since 2003. Despite a strong effort by the recently resuscitated group (lead singer Kristopher Roe is the only original member remaining), you may be left wondering what’s become...
