Bateman makes a book trailer

The trailer got a plug on Galleycat the other day.
(Word Riot Press put out Scott Bateman’s Sketchbook of Secrets & Shame in 2006.)

No more Bat Segundo
I’m so incredibly bummed. The Bat Segundo Show, the best literary podcast out there, is ending. Ed Champion says he hasn’t gotten enough donations or funding to keep it going.
Can we actually petition some site to pay Ed for these incredible podcasts and keep it going? Like email Gawker or something? Doesn’t Nick Denton sweat money?
Ed is one of the most insightful reviewers/lit bloggers out there. So, so sad about this.
Left my dependents a-lying still
Maud Newton reports that Hayden Childs has written a fictional book about the making of the greatest album of all time for Continuum’s 33 1/3 series of short books.
In a word, awesomeatude.
