Today’s anthem (sorry the video quality is so jankleicious): If there is a God (and I have been good enough), ze will reincarnate me as Kathleen Hanna next time around. Or at least let me make out with JD Samson a little.

‘Please don’t push me aside’

Goddamn, this is good: 1:26-2:03 is my favorite part. That buzzing bug and the lyrics are perfect: In between What I find is pleasing/And I’m feeling fine Love is so confusing/There’s no peace of mind If I fear I’m losing you/It’s just no good, You teasing like you do HT: Randal’s shared items

Thanks, Fritz, for the brain worm

My pal Fritz over at the Manhattan Project posted this video a bit ago, and now that I’ve let the song thoroughly infect my psyche, I had to go buy the whole Santogold album.

I don’t need another week like the last one, you hear me,…
