At 7:21am on April 19, 2007, Kevin Burton Smith said…: Am I the only one who vets my "friends"? in the last few days, I've had several requests from spammers and wingnuts who have absolutely no interest in crime fiction.

Don't encourage them. Reject them right off. Let's keep crimespace for crime.

I'm also sort of ticked off that some folks change their profile photos -- after being accepted as a "friend" -- to plug their books or whatever product they're selling, turning my page into a billboard.

But that's me...

At 6:03am on April 6, 2007, Kevin Burton Smith said…: Newt! Good to hear from you! I know you're not going to believe this but I accidentally deleted your chatter. Could you please re-post? (The "delete" button" is where my e-mail program has a "reply" button.)

At 1:45pm on April 5, 2007, Sean Chercover said…: I was very pleased to see your recommendation of John Zorn's SPILLANE in the recent Mystery Scene. A great (and greatly overlooked) album.

Here's your answer: DaVinci's City Hall.

DaVinci becomes not coucilman but mayor!!!

Unfortunately, Da Vinci's City Hall, which tried to mix both politics and crime) lost about half of the former Canadian audience for Da Vinci's Inquest (U.S. syndication figures probably don't matter). In February 2006, the CBC announced the new show wouldn't be brought back, although negotiations are allegedly underway to reprise the Da Vinci character in a series of TV movies.

As you may or may not know, I've got a real blog out there at http://thrillingdetectiveblog.blogspot.com/, but for those of you who haven't wandered over to the THRILLING DETECTIVE BLOG, here's a recap of my latest message there:

JACK OF ALL MEDIA (MASTER OF NONE)

My recent appearance in a Los Angeles Times profile by journalist Scott Timberg, where he grilled me on on LA crime writer Robert Crais, was evidently just a warm-up act.

This week, an interview I did with Shannon Clute and Richard… Continue

The Best Private Eyes of the Last Twenty Years or So...

I know they're out there, but who are they? There are the obvious ones, the usual suspects that anyone rumbling through this Crimespace scene could pick put of any lineup.

But what about those private gumshoes that rocked our world but never quite made the big time? Or made it, and then quietly slipped away? What about the coulda-been and the shoulda-been contenders? The one-shot wonders?

I'm doing an article, and it isn't so much who I include that I worry about; it's the between-the-crac… Continue
