Old Friends

1. What on earth are these little kids doing on this "Kiddie-A-Go-Go" 1967 TV show? Is it the Pony? The Frug, the Watusi, the Mashed Potato, the Alligator? It's pretty cute and weird, whatever they're doing.
2. Friend of LitKicks (FOL) Tim Barrus at Electric Literature! What a combination.

Some of my literary/blogger friends have taken to tweeting their literary links. Not me -- I'm holding out for the blog format, just like McSweeney's is holding out for newspapers. Here's another roundup involving great writers and other finds ...
1. Nature magazine goes way back.
Bright Star

1. A movie about John Keats? I haven't seen it yet but I like the idea. It's called Bright Star, it's directed by Jane Campion, and you can see a preview here. I was starting to think we'd never hear about another classic British literary figure other than Jane Austen again.

2. More Bloomsday action: Dovegreyreader on a new book called Ulysses and Us by Declan Kibberd.
