three's company
UBER-META
This is not the place you go to find out about Johnny Cash or John Ritter (or Leni Riefenstahl or Waren Zevon) dying. However, it is the play you go to find MP3s of Johnny Cash singing the theme to Three's Company. The stars have aligned.
TV
Letterman: daddy.
POLITICS
Good: video of Al Franken on The Daily Show.
Is this new? Not even sure. The Nation has blogs.

WORDS
I'm pretty sure William Vollmann is going crazy. Is McSweeney's too?
Salon gives Jonathan Letham's newest a rave. It comes out Tuesday.
William Gibson shuts down the blog.
Salaam Pax talking about his fame and how Aphex Twin gave him complete license to use any songs. That's worlds colliding.
Chuck is interviewed on MediaBistro.

DESIGN
TECH/INTERNET

You might like Wired's concept PC shells.

MUSIC
I heart the internet. The Post-Punk Kitchen.
Pitchfork likes Pretty Girls Make Graves and so do I.
LOCAL
Not that I've been waiting with bated breath, but it's nice that Prince has made the list for Rock And Roll Hall of Fame induction.
