links of dubious usefulness, no. 16
o Thurston Moore on free jazz. (Thx, SoS.)
o The original manuscript proposal for William Gibson’s Spook Country. (via BB)
o A wiki-list of ballplayers’ entrance music. (So Julio Franco’s entrance music really was called “Everybody Get Ready, Jesus Is Coming”…)
o Douglas Wolk on leaked albums. (see also: his great James Brown reviews at Pitchfork.)
o The preview for Michel Gondry’s forthcoming Be Kind Rewind:
In 1998, my buddy and I followed Phish from Houston to Austin to Dallas to Kansas City and finally to St. Louis. At the time, all I wanted was a Mike’s. All I got was the finger. All decent shows and a great one in KC, but no Mike’s. The night after the St. Louis show, we headed to Busch stadium to see Mark McGwire mash during his juiced up record-breaking season. Matt Morris was on the mound. His intro music? The “Mike’s” from Slip Stitch.
