More Bill Claxton memories from the Los Angeles Times today, as well as an interesting article from the Sunday edition about rock musician Mark Oliver Everett and his relationship to his remote scientist father.

And let’s not forget, a nice piece by Jeff Fitzgerald in All About Jazz about the collective of proudly elitist snobs calling itself the “Los Angeles Museum of Films One Watches In Order to Make Themselves Feel Intellectually Superior” (LAMFO for short) restoring some old jazz films, many of them exceedingly strange and probably best left in the vaults from whence they came.
