I’m feeling a little melancholy, y’all. It’s that time of year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbZCpOr8hW8 First up’s “Sometimes it Snows in April,” Prince’s 1986 mourning for those lost to friends, family, and lovers as a result of the AIDS epidemic, which I think had only been recently named as the cause for so many deaths. “I dreamt I travelled and found you there — in the woods on [...]

A couple of weeks ago, a woman shared a rather awful story on self.Reddit, entitled “How easy it is to make a woman feel like sh*t.” In it, she describes being in line at a coffee shop when a conventionally cute young woman asks if she can cut in front of her because her boyfriend is waiting. The author kindly declines on the basis that [...]
We begin the day with some pervy monks. The woman singing with them, Violet, is Sarah Brightman’s sister. Lolene’s “Rich” is kind of my personal anthem right now. Hello, credit card debt, how are youth this holiday season? :sweatdrop: Kissy Asplund’s “Fuss N Fight” is understated and lovely. And now let’s conclude with a kick-ass dystopian vision from You Say Party!
THIS JUST IN: GIRL TALK’S NEW MASHUP IS AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD!!!!!!!!!!!! Vids the First?

This one just made me dance . “Belgrade Riddim” features some kick-ass percussion that begs you to get as round and curvilinear as [...]
First up, we got Imogean Heap rocking it with “Earth.” I secretly really like her, even though I have a problem with whispy voiced singers. Lyrically, this song makes me think of Alanis, who, you know, RULES. Next, David motherfuckin’ Bowie, Hogwarts alum and the Goblin King. <3 LET’S DANCE. Martina Topley-Bird is fantastic at biting melancholia. I’m really bitter my CD has a scratch [...]
A guy on Reddit Feminisms has raised an interesting question: As a feminist man on reddit, I’m compelled when confronting male, sexist redditors to say I’m a straight man, hoping my words won’t be “written off” as self-interested. Is this legitimate sharing of privilege, or propogation of patriarchy? When you argue a feminist/womanist perspective, some of your opponents often dismiss you as a woman who’s [...]
Joy Harjo? One brave, poetically awesome, talented, intelligent, and beautiful woman. I love her. MORE SPOKEN WORD! A poem for Nicki Minaj. Kick it retro: Black Feminism circa 1979. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bzxnw0lBrLo “A Litany for Survival” by Audre Lorde And then…. more Joy!! Now to close out with an actual song. Des’ree’s “You Gotta Be…”
