“The impressive writing makes The Rumpus stand out. Rick Moody’s Swinging Modern Sounds column matches up against any music blog, and its staff and roster of contributing authors always come through with insightful commentary, regardless of the topic. Books, comics, music, art, film, politics, sex… The Rumpus covers them all with an equal degree of intelligence and panache.”

The Rumpus makes LargeHeartedBoy’s “Blogs to Read in 2010” list.
