Saturday Morning Shards #2

What’s been on my mind this week…

John Sayles has got a new movie out in September called Silver City.

A gloriously dorky fun pop band called Mystic Chrods of Memory. Many, many more bands need to name themselves after lines from famous presidential speeches.

Box Office Prophets: A rediculously thorough site about how much green movies make.

Nicholson Baker will have a new novel out next month called Checkpoint. The plot: Two men in a hotel room plot to assassinate President Bush.

I guess Anne Lamott isn’t doing her Salon column anymore. This is her last one “for a while.”

The legend of Curly Oxide, the Hasidic glam rock star (look under the 2004 archive under the show “My expirimental phase).

Books By the Bay is next week!
