John Updike Dies at 76



Read a fine article over at the New York Times on the passing of yet another American literary great. Updike's death marks yet another strike from the American canon, which seems to be slimming out as of late (David Foster Wallace, Norman Mailer, Kurt Vonnegut) and whose members (Toni Morrison, Philip Roth) are aging as well. In honor of Updike's popular Rabbit series, here's a gorgeously dark Mp3 from My Brightest Diamond's Daytrotter session.
