Donwill of hiphop group Tanya Morgan recently released a very cool concept album and series of videos based on the movie High Fidelity, with Donwill assuming the character of "Don Cusack". Check out the video for Laura's Song, from Don Cusack in High Fidelity, above.
Patton Oswalt's book Zombie Spaceship Wasteland, a very funny collection of essays, is out as of yesterday (check out the admiring words from more of our past guests including Sarah Silverman, John Hodgman, Sarah Vowell and Judd Apatow).
