The Comic of the Film
nice collection of 80s comic book film & TV adaptations to download over at Vinnie Rattolle's I Love Trash blog; you forget that in the days before VHSthis was the main way you could "rewatch" films [eh? what is this non-digital madness you speak of?]

Haruki Murakami: Schlaf
not sure what this is, but it looks like a trailer for a German graphic novel translation of a Murakami story - or maybe it's just an illustrated version? either way, if you know more, let us know!

Out Of Print Clothing
nice collection of book covers on t-shirts at Out Of Print
"Out of Print celebrates the world’s great stories through fashion. Our shirts feature iconic and often out of print book covers. Some are classics, some are just curious enough to make great t-shirts, but all are striking works of art.
In addition to spreading the joy of reading through our tees, we acknowledge that many parts of the world don't have access to books at all. We are working to change that. For each shirt we sell, one book is donated to a community in need through our partner Books For Africa."

Sufjan Stevens: The BQE
Sufjan Stevens hasn't quite finished his project to record an album for every State in the US, but that doesn't mean he's slowed down his work rate. The next album The BQE is "a grand creative franchise-incorporating movie, symphony, comic book, dissertation, photography, graphic design, and a 3-D Viewmaster® reel" based on the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway - a road in New York. It's all out in October, and is an all-instrumental affair

Trailer Park: Inherent Vice
something of a rarity - a trailer for a book is odd enough, a trailer for a Thomas Pynchon novel is pretty unheard of. is it really him?!
