Finally! The fifth season of The Sopranos is out on DVD. As I don’t have HBO, I watch the series this way, a year late. And as usual, I am bowled over by how stunningly good it is. I’ve watched the first episode, and it’s stellar. And Steve Buscemi as a mobster-turned-massage therapist? How can you go wrong?

In honour of a month to be spent watching the best TV series of all time, here is a link an interview by Jon (aka Shaun Attwood) of Jon’s Jail Journal with Junior Bull Gravano, about John Gotti. Jon’s jail blog remains one of the best things I read online. He’s becoming a wonderful writer, and of course the more the rest of us can know about the prison-industrial complex the better.

On an irrelevent note, I have to gratuitously mention that this evening I’m going to see the Pixies. As someone I bumped into who recently saw them in New York said, “They’ll save your life all over again.”
