  • Ann at Feministing highlights the recent NY Times profile on Neko Case (badass teenager pics included) and her political side. You can also check out a song off her new album, "People Got a Lot of Nerve" on her label's website.
  • M.I.A's post-grammy-Valentine's-day baby announcement...via MySpace!
  • Pitchfork TV has some awesome video of a 21-minute set by Hercules and Love Affair. Check this out if you are into disco, the Talking Heads, Hedwig, or Brooklyn sunsets. Not to spoil it for you, but their closer ("Hercules Theme") is incredible (video after the jump).
  • And this one goes out to all the ex-girlfriends in the wurrrrrrrld.....

"Humor": The Ultimate Cop Out

Love / Shove post by Annalee Schafranek on February 19, 2009 - 12:42pm; tagged Barack Obama, cartoons, Douchebag Decree, humor, New York Post, racism, Sean Delonas.

By now, I've imagine that most folks have seen the controversial Sean Delonas cartoon from yesterday's New York Post. For those of you new to this story, the New York Post claims that comic is supposed to be a play on both the current economic situation and a reference to a woman who was attacked by a chimpanzee recently.

Read on for the cartoon and more discussion.

Fists Up: LA Boxing Pres Challenges Chris Brown to a Duel

Love / Shove post by Kelsey Wallace on February 19, 2009 - 11:49am; tagged Chris Brown, domestic violence, duels, masculinity, MMA, violence.
Anthony Geisler, President of LA Boxing, is dealing with Chris Brown's arrest on criminal threat charges in true eye-for-an-eye fashion. Geisler started a Facebook group earlier this week called, I Want to Fight Chris Brown. (At the time of this post the group had 1,528 members and counting.) He also sent a letter to Brown's manager challenging Brown to step into the ring with him and "see what it's like to face a real opponent."

Is this type of a reaction helpful in any way? Or is it just violence begetting more violence? Share your thoughts after the jump.

Whedon Fighters

TV post by Juliana Tringali on February 19, 2009 - 1:43am; tagged Angel, Buffy, Dollhouse, Eliza Dushku, Firefly, Joss Whedon.

Dushku in the DollhouseJoss Whedon’s Dollhouse premiered last week, and The Box breathed a sigh of relief. I’ve been waiting so long to see Eliza Dushku kick ass and smart off in the style of Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of ass-kicking in the first episode. Or smarting off, for that matter. Maybe that’s because Dushku’s character, Echo, is without a personality for most of the time...except when she's imprinted with perfect abilities and sent on missions without her knowledge.

A series about a woman with no autonomy doesn’t sound like it’s going to win Joss Whedon another honor from Equality Now, right? But then again, all of his shows feature leading ladies who are good at things against their will…
