* Remember when TV on the Radio’s Tunde Adebimpe drew a picture of David Bowie for my David Bowie sketchbook? The Yellow Bird Project is now using it as a t-shirt design to raise money for Haiti relief. I’m very excited about this and am grateful and glad to have been a part of it. Buy one!
* I was sad to hear about the death of Corey Haim. Prior to the release of Crank: High Voltage, the only film of his I’d seen all the way through was The Lost Boys. (Blown Away I tended to fastforward to the good parts back in middle school.) But The Lost Boys is obviously a marvelous movie, and watching it recently, one of my favorite parts was Haim’s one-of-a-kind performance as some kind of junior-high dandy.
* Todd VanDerWerff liked last night’s Lost more than I did. He makes a decent case.
* As a big fan of both Ta-Nehisi Coates and Ghostface Killah, I’m please to be able to say this: Ta-Nehisi Coates on Ghostface Killah.
