Odds and ends...

Our friends at WNYC's On The Media briefly discuss the volumes on Paul's Boutique and It Takes A Nation of Millions and conclude that "it seems like absolutely no one likes Russell Simmons." [The weekly staff picks on the blog are well worth checking out. Actually, everything about that show is worth checking out. Highly entertaining.]

The blog Psychobabble has some very nice things to say about the volume on Marquee Moon:
[Waterman's] book serves as a well-researched biography of the band’s earliest days, which means it tells the portion of Television’s story that will most interest fans...Compact yet comprehensive, Bryan Waterman’s Marquee Moon crams a lot of interesting information and insights onto its 211 tiny pages.
Oh, and also, THE WU-TANG CLAN NEEDS AN INTERN.

For some reason, when they write "e-mail blasting" in the job description, it actually sounds COOL.
