Nice feature on "Serenity" from The Onion AV Club's New Cult Canon:

For whatever reason—let’s just say the general suckiness of humanity—Serenity wasn’t a box-office smash, which dispelled for a while any hope that Whedon would carry George Lucas’ populist science-fiction mantle into an infinitely cooler future. But it realizes a fantasy that advocates of other brilliant-but-cancelled TV shows usually only experience in fan fiction: It brings a beloved series to a natural, satisfying close. (Let’s face it: Even successful TV series don’t often come in for a graceful ending. Most of them overstay their welcome or peter out meekly.) And the only way to account for that is passion. A few loud voices raised in unison sounded like a much larger chorus to a studio, and with Serenity, Whedon and his followers got away with something.

In place of your daily Summer Glau, here is Jewel "Kaylee" Staite's latest Twitter profile pic:

Frank from Conquistador Incorporated has a side project where he and a buddy write, record and release a song in one day.

This is awesome news. From Rebecca Loebe:

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, then you've probably already heard some of this, but I'm very excited to announce that Mystery Prize is currently #36 on the AMA Americana Top 40 chart, a chart that currently includes Roseanne Cash, John Hiatt, Norah Jones and The Avett Brothers. 

I'm also #3 on the Cashbox Roots/Rock chart.  Last night I recorded my first set of station IDs ("Hi, this is Rebecca Loebe and you're listening to WPHB...") on the floor of my grandmother's living room.  Mystery Prize is the first album I've released to radio and I find the whole process very exciting! 

If you've got a local station that you think should be playing me, feel free to call/email them a request, or drop me a line and let me know who you suggest I send the record to (it's important to note that you should ONLY call stations that are local to you, that you actually listen to -- I've heard that stations are sensitive to feeling like an artist is trying to manipulate requests, for good reason. 

I'd definitely appreciate for you to call/email your favorite stations, just keep it local and sincere. Thanks! :-).
