Reviews by Caser
This album is so good it makes me want to grab a shovel and smash my computer and my phone and the ipod I'm playing it on and when the music stops I'll sing "I Turned Into a Martian" over and over again in a wild scream until I lose my voice and then I'll start playing air drums like Animal until my arms fall off in which case I'll go around kicking things with these great 2:00 songs pounding in my head and a huge smile on my face until my legs go stiff and all I can do is roll around on the ground and silently laugh my head off at Danzig and company's best record.

From the Brain, Child website:
Brain, Child: The Magazine for Thinking Mothers was founded in 1999 by Jennifer Niesslein and Stephanie Wilkinson, two friends who had babies under a year old. The pair, both with backgrounds in journalism, were itching for writing about motherhood that spoke to them. There were plenty of outlets for child-rearing tips and expert advice, but not a source of smart writing that delved into the meatier issues of that life-altering experience: motherhood.
After a year of planning, Brain, Child's first issue was published in March 2000. It included essays by Barbara Kingsolver and Susan Cheever, a feature on the new academic field of ethnopediatrics, a debate on the merits of family bed, fiction, and essays by mothers addressing the stuff of real-life parenting (swearing off swearing, or selective reduction, for example). That year, the magazine was named by Utne Reader as one of the five best new magazines in the country.
....
In 2010, Brain, Child received the Utne Independent Press Award for Social/Cultural Coverage. Brain, Child also won in 2003 for Best Personal Life Coverage. Since Brain, Child's inception, the editors of Utne have nominated the magazine in the categories of General Excellence, Best Writing, and Best New Title. It is the youngest magazine to have been nominated for General Excellence.
