One: Stephen Elliott reports from Book Expo America, and makes any number of good points. Two: Via Warren Ellis: the launch of The 5Lights Project, in which one story will be told per week, each day via a different medium. Which sounds like a genius idea, and one that bears watching.

Warren Ellis on Anthony Braxton. Which, among other things, makes some fine points about what artists in one discipline can learn from the theories of another.
