• Jesse Miller on novels by John Brandon and David Mitchell.

• Several months ago, we mentioned a conference on the music criticism of Ellen Willis, to take place at NYU. One can now pre-register for said conference here. And Robert Christgau provides some context here.

• After a twenty year legal pursuit, Kate Bush has been granted the rights to use the words of Ulysses’ Molly Bloom in a forthcoming song.  Keep Running Up That Hill, Ladies!

• In other Sisters Doing It For Themselves news: that snoozer of a non-debate about what constitutes a memoir continues with the release of Tina Fey’s Bossypants.
