Amy Crehore - Havana Brown

An Australian Broadcasting Corporation interview with Alexei Sayle, formerly of the Young Ones and now a writer. I just finished reading Sayles’ collection of short stories Barcelona Plates. Funny stuff, if occasionally trying too hard for a twist. A fuller review up once time can be found.
Who can remember the name of Brooklyn’s New Hip Band?
Jay-Z and Beyonce caught in flagrante delicto. Possibly offensive. (Via City Rag)
On P Diddy losing his P: “Does the press–your Kurt Loders, your Billy Bushes–go along with the Puffy/(P) Diddy fiction because they don’t know the cultural nuances, or because it allows them to exploit our racist fascination with the crazy customs of these exotic black people? And if it’s the last of these, should Sean Combs be condemned as an enabler of racism, or should he be celebrated as a 21st century trickster, someone who uses the machinery of caucasian hegemony to make fools of the white folk?”
And finally, the pic up there is of Amy Crehore’s “Havana Brown”. I like her style - very distinct (I remember it from Rolling Stone, for instance).
