The jazz composer Maria Schneider and other musicians have signed up with ArtistShare, yet another web-only music vendor. The hook for this one is that they've learned something from the success of DVD extras:
A new edition of Stephen Shore's Uncommon Places: "Throughout the 1970's, driving tens of thousands of miles back and forth across the United States, Mr. Shore, who is now 56 and continues to make photographs, and to teach, took painstakingly detailed pictures that are time-tagged by the cars, the signs, the architecture, the details and the spoors of American culture."

The latest thing for downtown artists is political fund-raising. "'The word "cool" is probably appropriate,' Mr. Peck said. 'It's "fashionable" to hate George Bush right now.'"
John McEnroe's new talk show.
Realism in King Arthur movies.
BBC America is airing The Avengers, The Saint, and The Prisoner. Cool if you get BBC America, I guess.
