Some music linkage I wanted to share w/ y'all:
Nice story about Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys from the AV Club. On the occasion of the re-release of the TIffany Transcription CDs. We're lucky enough to have them at XDU and while I can't say I've listened to the entire set, I've heard a lot of different tracks over the years. My faves are his versions of swing standards like "Take the A Train" or "Woodchopper's Ball" (altho the disc w/ the McKinney Sisters is also quite awesome).
John Wesley Harding gets a little love from boing². Sadly his touring plans do not seem to include NC at this point.
Finally (and you may have already seen this making the rounds on the internets), Dennis Wheatley of Shrift shot this cool little movie at a Tokyo kaiten-zushi:
