HRO Confessions: I thought the Dude in Le Tigre Was a Dude

Remember this album cover from Le Tigre?

I always thought that the middle dude was a dude, but he's actually a lady.
I only found that out last week, after this picture inspired me to wikipedia for truth.


Even though that album cover was a metaphor, it's important to do a little bit of research to find out the truth. Things are not always what they appear to be, yall.

I just want to remind yall that I'm human, and just cuz I have a blog doesn't mean I know everything.

Remember when girls were into feminism in 2001, but then they decided that they'd rather fit in with the majority of alternative culture?

Indie/Alt Celebs make 'arts + crafts' 4 charity

A bunch of indie / mindie / alt celebs made a bunch of arts and crafts that will be auctioned off for 'Haiti Relief.' I think this was a good exercise in self-expression. I feel like buying one of these items might prove that you are a mega-fan, as opposed to just another bro wearing a sweet tshirt from the merch booth.

Vampire Weekend makes a cute lil gym bag. Wonder if this gymbag will get a 'shitload of backlash' for being too white/preppy.

The Bro from LeTigre (broad with a moustache). Did LeTigre peak in 2k_?

DEVENDRA BANHART doodles while wearing Gandhi glasses.

Bright Eyes sad on the inside bro Connor Oberst doodles on a guitar.

Regina Spektor makes some tshirt.

Former Postal Service singer Jenny Lewis makes some bag.

The Strokes make a 'sweet ass bag' with a sweet retro logo.

Norah Jones makes a tshirt with a tree that represents life.

The Fleet Foxes Robin Pecknold bro makes some far out shirt

Natalie Portman 'half asses' and donates some used ballet slippers.

Should more indie celebs make arts and crafts for Haiti / as a team building exercise?
Which of these crafts will 'make the most bank'?
Which of these crafts is the biggest let down?
If you ran a music reviews site that gave out ratings to crafts projects made by indie celebs, what would u give each craft?
