This past weekend my son and I played at the Grand Re-Opening of Exile on Main Street records and Dandelion vintage clothing shop. I asked him to pick a cover for us to play and he chose this one. Here are the Femmes live (from the early 90's). Enjoy.

Real talk? This is beautiful. Aurally. Visually. Electric Wire Hustle gettin' it done. Dig.

I'm back. I hope you had a wonderful holiday. Speaking of holidays, the gals from Broad City put together a special video packed full of tips to get you through the upcoming holiday party season. Dig this.

Last night, a grand jury decided not to press charges on Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson despite gunning down unarmed teenager Michael Brown who stood in a surrender pose with both hands up. For nearly three months the country has been tense, awaiting justice. Last night's decision proves that a badge, a gun and white privilege are all more valuable than a black teenagers life. 

I'm disgusted.

So what do we do? Before bed I was heartbroken - scrolling through my Twitter feed looking for information, insight, comfort, whatever. A statement from Michael Brown's parents asked for non-violence but instead to join their fight to require all police to wear a body camera. The U.S. Department of Justice just compiled a report detailing a recent test-run of police body cameras. Among the "Officer concerns about wearing a body camera"....was this gem of a statement...

 “I have heard some resentment about the level of scrutiny that Chapter 2. Considerations for Implementation officers will be under if they wear body-worn cameras. This is especially true with the first-level response officers, who already feel they are under an extraordinary amount of pressure to get everything right."
