So finely surpassed

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 97: The lyrics to "Faerie Tale" by Venom feature the lines "In this wonderland called hell" and "The looking glass doth break".

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 98: Another stumbling session unearthed this answer sheet for the "74 bands" picture. Alice is of course used to illustrate "Alice in Chains".

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 99: A Facebook group, "I Stay Up Late and I Don't Do Anything Productive", features various images, most of them being internet-meme based. A few of them are Alice-themed.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 100: Thanks to an episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks, I discovered that the video for Gwen Stefani's "What you waiting for?" is heavily Alice themed.



Alice in popular culture sighting no. 101: Following some connections on Twitter, I discovered Theremina, who had recently tweeted; "Huge, low-slung Cheshire Cat grin of a moon. Sure enough, the night grows curioser and curioser."

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 102: Crooked Little Vein by Warren Ellis features the line "Down the goddamn rabbithole again." Everyone needs to read this book.

Alice in popular culture sighting no. 103: Finally, another one from Rachel. This photo was taken on Brougham Street in Edinburgh. It's apparently for a mobile disco named "Mad Hat Man".
