It sounds like Freaks and Geeks may be the best DVD set ever. Not only was the show great, but there are 29 commentary tracks (for 18 episodes), including two by fans and one with "network executives involved in the show's cancellation". Plus they got the rights to all the music used in the broadcast version.
A travel article on Seattle starts with the new Rem Koolhaas library, which is compared to a honeycomb and an accordion, and features "the Books Spiral, a gentle ramp that winds through four floors spanning the entire Dewey Decimal System and allowing a visitor to walk continuously from one subject area to another." This sounds pretty, but it doesn't sound like the way anyone uses a library.
Science fiction art: Peter Bialobrzeski's photographs of "the emerald megacities of Southeast Asia," and Alexis Rockman's new painting of Brooklyn underwater circa 5004.
"Corpus," an installation by Ann Hamilton at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, "has used more than two million sheets [of onionskin paper] to date, and it is anticipated that five million more will be used before the work closes in the fall." It sounds cool, though.
Profiles of the Brazilian singer Caetano Veloso, who has assembled a Carnegie Hall concert series and a new English-language album, with songs from Cole Porter to Nirvana; and of Joe Mantello, director of, among other things, a new production of Sondheim's Assassins.
