Free Gossip!

I normally don't bother noting the free song put up every Tuesday at the iTunes store, as it's rarely one worth noting.

But this week, it's "Heavy Cross," by Gossip! Go hit the iTunes store and grab it!

(US only; I assume that the international iTunes stores probably have free songs every week too, but I can't see what they are.)

Heh

Coming soon to Realms of Fantasy.

(Exactly as NSF as most issues of the magazine.)

I swear, I think Firefox tabs multiply like Tribbles.

1. Why do cakes sink?

2. Adam Cadre's review and analysis of Election (courtesy tablesaw).

3 theferrett explains why the remake of The Wicker Man was so much, much more awful than the original. Note that I fully agree with his thoughts one why it's okay to attempt a remake of a flawed movie.

4. A.E. Hotchner on why Scribner's handling of A Movable Feast is wrong.

5. The folks at Hard Case have found a lost Donald Westlake book!

6. yuki_onna on why writers are not just vessels. Ag great posting with one of the best threesome of sentences I've recently encountered: "Writers aren't fragile Mina Harkers, occasionally filled up with Dracula's literary fluids. We're Rosie the Riveters. We always have to roll up our sleeves and do the damn work."

7. Google Earth now offers the Moon (along with the sky, Mars, and Earth).

8. Borders has discovered that teens read, and will now craft a section of the store just for them. Hearing about Twilight pencil cases doesn't blow me away, but it's nice to see them mention Scott Pilgrim. Hint to Borders: Our fourteen-year-old daughter has read every Pilgrim book, but stopped Twilight after book 1.

9. There's yet another Twilight Zone movie. Directed by the guy who wrote and directed The Astronaut's Wife. In other words, there'll be a really crappy Twilight Zone movie in the near future.

10. Finally, John McCain has apologized to Jackson Browne for using one of his songs. Somewhere, a McCain staffer is singing "Here Come Those Tears Again," but they won't get the rights to that one, either.
