Today I love George Pelecanos even more than I did yesterday. For he has name-checked the Silver Jews on his playlist. Now we can quibble over the song selection (I would have gone with the Wild Kindness) but I am quite happy that they lead his list. He also has some nice crime jazz and Drive By Truckers on there.

The Man Booker long list is out. I don't have much to say other than the inclusion of crime thriller Child 44 is nice to see.

Here is Spoon covering the Stones Rocks Off.

You have almost certainly seen this, but if not, take a look at Feist on Sesame Street.
