patti smith "covers"

"I always wanted to do a covers album, but I didn't really feel I had the range to do the kind of album I wanted to do," Smith told Spinner. "As the project evolved, a lot of the songs on the [original] list didn't make the final cut, and a lot of songs that I didn't plan on doing wound up being the ones I chose. They're all special to me for different reasons. But Nirvana was the most emotional experience."

Video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" directed by Jem Cohen.

chapas!

blog co-started by my friend paz in argentina right now.

Well when Paz first arrived she said ¨Tracy, did you notice how all the guys in Argentina have the same hair cut? Kind of like the mullet?¨

No in fact, I had not noticed this phenomenom. But how right she was... here are some examples of the many mullets Buenos Aires has to offer. It is quite an array. They call them chapas. Please keep in mind, these are only a few examples of the vast expansion of south american mulletism I have bestowed upon my camera. I hope to upload the rest soon.

red, white, and blue: the conservapedia

"We have certain principles that we adhere to, and we are up-front about them," Schlafly writes in his mission statement. "Beyond that we welcome the facts."

Conservapedia defines environmentalists as "people who profess concern about the environment" and notes that some would want to impose legal limits on the use of toilet paper.

Femininity? The quality of being "childlike, gentle, pretty, willowy, submissive."

A hike in minimum wage is referred to as "a controversial manoeuvre that increases the incentive for young people to drop out of school."

And the state of the economy under President Bush? Much better than the "liberal media" would have you think: "For example, during his term Exxon Mobile has posted the largest profit of any company in a single year, and executive salaries have greatly increased as well."
Hurray for freedom of speech?
