MySpace is Dead

Long live MySpace.

No, it's dead, actually. Why do people say "Long live?"

I could look this up.

With a few clicks.

But I won't. Because then there wouldn't be much to post about.

Man, I'm hungry.

This is the worst post ever.

It's tough updating every week. I'm not sure if I should...

Back to my original point - MySpace is still around, but I'm not sure anyone uses it.

I was on MySpace the other day, and man, it is STILL full of ads and a bunch of other B.S. You'd think they'd get their act together...

But, I guess not.

Does anyone still use MySpace?

Srsly.

Sorry for this post.

DJ Octoon's Unsigned Music Blog

This is another post about our links, explaining them, etc.

I feel like most college radio stations should specialize in unsigned music, but it seems like they don't.

DJ Octoon is a UCLA Radio DJ who plays only unsigned music.

So, if you're an unsigned artist, or you are sleeping with an unsigned artists, tell them about DJ Octoon's show and blog.

www.djoctoon.blogspot.com

That's it.

Other posts coming soon.

I swear.

Fiction Advocate

Another post about why we link to whom we link to..

If you like literary things, like books and such, check out Fiction Advocate, who is, exactly what he says he is..

We met FA through a friend.

So, yes, he is basically a friend of a friend.

But a good guy, with some writing skills.

He writes a LOT.

So I hope you like reading.

Links from the Brothel

Going through our links for this new series has made me realize that we actually don't HAVE too many links...

So...

You got a good site? Send me the link! I just may review it and keep it here on the site...

Script Doctor Eric

Thus begins a new series on The Literary Brothel entitled "Why we have links to who we link to.."*

Script Doctor Eric is a friend of the site. He's a screenwriter, script reader, and screenplay consultant.

Recently, it seems he has been posting a lot more blog-like entries, and so his site feels a lot like a screenwriting blog. In fact, he even posted about that. (If you clicked the link, you know what I'm talking about...)

Check it out of you're interested in screenwriting, and if you pay him, he'll read your own stuff, too.

Ah, and I see that they also started a Screenwriting Podcast. Welcome to the 21st century, gentlemen.

So, if you're an aspiring screenwriter, I'm sure there are a lot of great sites out there, but in my less-than-well-researched opinion, www.ScriptDoctorEric.com is one of them.

How's that for an endorsement?

Eh, what did you expect from someone at a site called The Literary Brothel...

(Man, do we need a podcast.)

Man, it has been a while

I suppose it's a little late to start posting again...

But maybe that's what I'll do.

Now that the heat is off, and I really have NO idea who is reading the site, I just may start saying some things here that may or my not be read by folks out there.

In other words, stay tuned...

Bukowski on Mundane Conversation and Poets

When I hear some people talking I am confounded with how far way they are from anything. Most of them speak what they have been taught, not what they have learned. And what they lack most are two things: gamble and humor. Especially the poets. The poets are the worst. But hell, I suppose if I were mainly a painter I'd say that the painters are the worst.

-Charles Bukowski, 1986
