Tomorrow is the second instalment of the 8th House Collaboration Series (you may remember that the first one featured our very own Mr Hanson-Finger) and this time around there are 2 Dragnet connections: Ben Ladouceur and Gary Barwin. It’s a pretty stacked line-up, and I would be sad if you missed it just because I didn’t tell you about it. So, you’re welcome, really.

It’s still at least a month until the next Dragnet dance party (date to be established soon), but for now, here’s what I (Jeremy) think is the funkiest song that’s come out this year: Thundercat - “Oh Sheit It’s X.” Just try to sit still!

Why have a guard dog? In Canada, you can have a guard goose.

“When I read San Francisco Chronicle critic Mick LaSalle opine recently that Romeo + Juliet was “too contemptible even to be called a desecration,’ I know that he never lay in virginal bed with headphones and discman, listened to Thom Yorke utter the eternal invitation “I’ll be waiting, with a gun and a pack of sandwiches,” and just felt so much.”

I mean, I think we can all get behind watching beautiful women read aloud while being brought to orgasm, right? Good. Photographer Clayton Cubitt did the art project we all wish we had thought of in high school, and made 5 videos of exactly that. Watch them here,

Chris Hadfield performs David Bowie’s Space Oddity … in space. I’m not sure if this is even more beautiful than it is cool, or even cooler than it is beautiful.

Dragnet friend Laura Trethewey has created this really neat video for the new issue of Boulderpavement. Ever wondered what it would be like to go to Nunavut? Laura uses Google Earth to see what it might be like, and she’s letting us all come along.

Finally! Dragnet friend, lover, confidant, all around good-ass dude, Devan Boomen has dropped his EP Find Love, and it is awesome. Stream it, download it, do what you will with it, but I dare you to not dance to it.

Exciting News for Friends and Staff of Dragnet!

Some very exciting things have happened to one of our own and two of our friends. Dragnet Poetry Editor, Suzannah Showler, has been shortlisted for the RBC Bronwen Wallace Award for Emerging Writers! Also on the shortlist, Dragnet friend, and all around cool lady, Laura Clarke.

The other bit of exciting news is that Spencer Gordon has won the 2013 CBC Overlookie Bookie Award for his debut short story collection, Cosmo.

If you missed our birthday party last week (it’s okay, but like, you’re going to have to get us a real nice gift next year) you also missed the launch of our indiegogo campaign which we started to help us fund the printing of our anthology. There is an array of wicked incentives, the best one being that you can pre-order the book, and we will send it direct to your doorstep (or if you live in Toronto, maybe one of us will bring it to you via bicycle.) So go check it out, tell all of your friends, support Dragnet! Y’all are the best!!

This is tomorrow! We are so excited!!
