Out there: Neil Gaiman, Joel Hodgson

Bookslut Interview with Neil Gaiman from Jessa Crispin on Vimeo

• Jessica Crispin of Bookslut interviews Neil Gaiman, ostensibly about "The Graveyard Book," but really about everything. You can listen to Gaiman reading from the book here.

• The A.V. Club interviewed Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu and Jim Mallon of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" fame. Bad news for those hoping for a reunion:

AVC: You all shared the stage [at ComicCon]. The 20th anniversary seems like a great time to announce that everyone's coming back to do a big reunion of some kind, but it didn't happen. Is there any chance of that happening?
Jim Mallon: The math is a little weird. If you saw onstage, you basically have two people for every position. Even Patrick [Brantseng] ran Gypsy the last three years. So part of it is, "Well, is it Mike, is it Joel? Is it Bill, is it Trace?" So we really couldn't have a big reunion of everybody. As Trace said, "The streams must never cross." We might be messing with quantum physics or something if we tried to do that.

• Comedy Central rounds up the best "Daily Show" moments for Obama and McCain. They also have gathered together the most recent interviews with all four of the candidates -- well, three of the candidates and Tina Fey.
