Media roundup.... Suffice to say, I haven't been posting because my life is really up and down right now, and I'm trying not to obsess on it. With that in mind, here's some shit I think deserves a litle linky love:

WFMU is doing their annual fundraiser this week. Which means, next Tue evening is the traditional Yo La Tengo live fundraiser. By pledging, you can choose any song in the world you want them to cover, and they'll gamely do their best. It is hands down one of my favorite things in the world to listen to. Here's the info page.

Our great NY pals Kickstart got interviewed by the BBC a while ago and there's an mp3 on their site. Fun.

Also, FMU posted an mp3 of something I used to play on my old radio show all the time. It's the 'Langley Schools Music Project' covering 'Space Oddity'. I've always found it oddly charming and wished I had been in that high school gym.

And finally, today on metafilter somebody did a nice post about Doris Wishman. Somebody responding posted this quote from her:

"Let me tell you something. All movies are exploitation movies."

Brilliant. RIP, Doris.  ¶ 5:45 PM
