Well, so our 22nd anniversary is about three weeks away, but Seven Summit Productions just finished up the production on the video that they shot at the 21st anniversary party. I think it is swell! It's also filled with all kinds of familiar faces saying all kinds of nice things. Give it a watch!

[This is a reconstructed post from Google Cache; originally posted by Sean!] Greetings, fans of savagery! Been a long time since I posted here, and I’m barely doing so now, even. I just wanted to direct your attention to an interview I did with Tom Spurgeon as part of The Comics Reporter’s holiday interview series on the Books of the ’00s. Mine was about Craig Thompson’s Blankets, a book I’d eventually have gotten around to writing about for my Favorites series here at SC. So if that’s the sort of thing you’re interested in, check it out.
On a semi-related note, here’s Tori Amos performing her song “Bells for Her” in 1994 — it’s both my favorite Tori Amos song and my favorite song that uses the word “blankets.” Synergy!

Speaking of symbolists, I got an email just this morning from the McSweeney's people talking about their next book, Art Spiegelman's Be A Nose, "a triple dose of unexpurgated Spiegelman sketchbooks from years past—you get 1979, 1983, and 2007, all in actual-size hardbound editions and wrapped in a really neat ski-gogglelike strap."
They include a link to the trailer they've created to the book which you can see here. (I'd embed the sonuvabitch, but I'm afraid I'd break the formatting since we've got a width limit here on the blog). I thought you might like to check it out...
Working on a review or two, although they're staggering a bit much more than I'd like. They'll be up here sooner or later, I'd like to think.
Just to clear out a tab I've had open for days, there's a brand new Spinal Tap film (with Marty DeBergi, and everything!) to promote their "Live Earth" appearance. Hit the link, and scroll down to where it says "video: watch...." Its about 15 minutes long, and is good for all those who like to Tap! Here is what is shipping this week:
