Chris Ware can now be found in the Sunday New York Times Magazine. This is undoubtedly Good News.
Equally good, and unexpected, news is that there is, according to Douglas Wolk, a brand spanking new album out by the Bats, a mere decade after "Couchmaster" (which is my personal favourite Bats record, although competition is, admittedly, stiff) and long after I had stopped checking the Flying Nun website on the "off chance". (Curious timing, too, as I was in Sydney on the weekend, where I acquired, finally, David Kilgour's "Frozen Orange" as well as the new Chills ep "Stand By" (itself a small miracle).)
