Jane takes the bump (bomp to the haters).


This "WHO TOOK THE BOMP?" blog may be referring to that feminist electronic band Le Tigre, their film and their international tour across four continents ten countries and then finalizing on Jane Public's apartment living room floor. Supported by a community of devoted fans (and not money hungry bottom-feeding lawyers feeding off the hands of trust fund baby unemployed losers who love flushing money down their rich parents toilets) and led by outspoken Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna (ummm, Bikini Kill!), Le Tigre confronts global social injustice and issues regarding the greedy corporate music industry while owning the stage via performance art, no-holds-barred lyrics, punk rock ethos and whip-smart wit in this edgy and entertaining doc film thats now up on FANDOR. Jane loves you Kathleen, who knows Jane very well. Duh. Remember Brooklyn? Diamanda Galas who? Listen, the more things change, the more they stay the same. DIY is a choice. DIY is a way of life. The Lesson here is: One step forward - five steps back (we will call that the contemplating period). So, "Let them eat cake." Plenty of it.

backstage bye.

p.s. Putin's new amnesty bill may have some great unintentional collateral consequences...LINK - http://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/09/jailed-pussy-riot-released-russian-vladimir-putin
