TWITTERDUMP 03.30.08: THESE NIPPLE RINGS KILL FASCISTS

Meanwhile, over in Twitterdom:

defrog Michele Bachmann fights for yr right to use energy-wasting light bulbs because global warming is bullshit anyway. http://tinyurl.com/yq6x8m

defrog FLA cop tases 11-yr-old girl. It's like we're fighting terrors by showing 'em how fucking violently insane we are. http://tinyurl.com/3yoja6

defrog The TSA says nipple rings are dangerous weapons. And they're not saying that just cos they want to see tits. http://tinyurl.com/2d8ruf

defrog Now that pilots have guns, Americans are safer. Sadly, the same can't be said for the planes. Oh well, whatever. http://tinyurl.com/2lemkw

defrog MEMO: Pilots with guns on planes = a Safer America. Passengers with nipple rings on planes = Grave Danger. Are you getting all of this?

defrog Mexico says: We don't need no stinkin' emos! I'm paraphrasing, but seriously, emo-bashing is the new fun. http://tinyurl.com/25ze3l

defrog Best PR spin of the day: "It is not a bad influence for young children. They learn to take care of their bimbos." http://tinyurl.com/2oxtqe

You know, I used to gather these kinds of stories under a series whose main theme was fear. Maybe I need a Twitter account dedicated to just that.

Fear all the time,

BAD COVER VERSION 007: YOU DON’T REALLY CARE FOR MUSIC, DO YOU?

This week’s song has been around since 1984, but seems to have become a cover staple for vocalists lately, probably due to one version being included prominently in the Shrek soundtrack. Still, I can’t sit here all day evaluating all of them, so we’ll narrow it down to two.

THE SONG: “Hallelujah”

THE ORIGINAL: Leonard Cohen

COMMENTS: Leonard wrote it, and it’s easily one of the most touching and beautiful things he’s ever done. That said, he was always more of a mumbler than a singer, so the original is very low key. I’m a fan, so I like it a lot, and the background vocals are a nice spiritual counterpoint to Cohen’s world-weary vocals.

( Here is where we lay the smack down! )

Next week: Queen vs a cartoon voiceover actress!

A blaze of light in every word,
