I missed the holiday with this but just saw it over on boing² -- an interesting (or insane, depending on how you look at it) book about Chanuko.

Last night I watched Big Time, the Tom Waits concert movie. Amazing! From 1988, with Ralph Carney and Marc Ribot in the band. I recorded it when it aired on Ovation earlier this month. So I wouldn't have to just keep it on the DVR forever (and to see it w/o commercials), I went online to see about renting or buying it on DVD. Only to find out that it's never been released. Found a few mentions of a possible DVD release from 8 years ago but that was about it. Well that and lots of people wondering whether there'd ever be a DVD. Plus many places to download pirated copies. So, good job entertainment industry! Give the people what you want them to want.
