There is also a story in the Sunday Times on Martha Rosler, A Pure Artist Is Embraced by the Art World (this link will only be good until sometime Saturday, July 15). There is a retrospective of her work in NYC at the New Museum from July 15 to Oct. 8 and the International Center of Photography on Fifth Ave. from July 29th to Oct. 1.
She has done important work in video (including Martha Rosler Reads Vogue and Born to be Sold: Martha Rosler Reads The Strange Case of Baby S/M with Paper Tiger and If It's Too Bad to be True, it Could be DISINFORMATION, an analysis of NBC News from 1985), photography, collage and criticism.
Her son, Josh Neufeld is a cartoonist who has illustrated stories for Harvey Pekar's American Splendor and done web design (including an Alfred Hitchcock site and Martha Rosler site). He did a collaborative piece with his mother.

There was an interesting 20 minute long conversation with David Byrne on Saturday's All Things Considered about his interest in World Music (though he has written that he hates the term) and the Luka Bop record label.

I haven't read the Harry Potter books yet, but I have been watching the reaction to them with interest. It is good to see books and reading getting so much attention. Nightline covered the unveiling of the books live on friday (unfortunately from a Barnes & Noble rather than an independent bookstore. Inside.com does have a report from an indie, Books of Wonder). Some of ABC's coverage is collected, but the transcript and video from Nightline won't be up until Monday. Newsweek (which has a horrible design since it moved over to MSNBC a few weeks ago) has a cover story.
Yahoo has full coverage including a link to an interview with Rowling in real audio from last fall (though currently WBUR's server seems to be overloaded). There is a Harry Potter weblog (which is the blog of the week).
MP3Lit.com has an excerpt of Jim Dale from the audio book of Harry Potter and Goblet of Fire and the New York Times has an interview with Rowling on the train she is riding across England to promote the book.
I just went through a lot of my old books and got all of my Tolkein books, so I can read them again before the movies start coming out next fall.
I also plan on reading the Potter books.
