Speaking of women in music, Kate Nash is trying to encourage more girls to rock out.
That's cool. Some friends of mine started a branch of the Girls Rock Camp last year: [link]
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, Duran Duran is airing a concert tonight on their You Tube channel (10:00 e, 7:00 p) and it seems Gee Way is singin' along. [link]
Dying? ME?!?? Goodness no.

"Gotta make my mind up," she sings, overjoyed to finally exert some control over her fate; "Which seat can I take?"
Yet here the discerning viewer notes that something is wrong. Because it is a simple matter of fact that in this car all the good seats have already been taken. For Rebecca Black (her name here would seem to evoke Rosa Parks, a mirroring that will only gain in significance) there is no actual choice, only the illusion of choice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
