The Wire's creator, David Simon,
testified on problems in today's journalism in front of a subcommittee not so long ago. Newspapers, bloggers, that kinda stuff. I agree with many of his arguments, but he has some ideas that are stuck in his head since 1995, the last time he worked at a newspaper. Anyway, don't miss his new show premiering this fall.
Another thing that caught my eye was that the creator of Skins said that a movie and a book are in the making.
Also, Tegan and Sara are recording their new studio album right now. At the same time, they are finishing the books they've been working on, and they promised to put them on sale very soon. Yay.
