How brave am I? I weathered the entire video above, watched the twee fragile white girl artiste talk of travels among "mysterious," "miserable, dirty" people and how she and her producer "take for granted that everyone knows what they're doing" but then learned you have to "lower your expectations." It can be so hard to impose your will on other cultures from within, instead of reacting to and learning from them! So hard! Victoria Bergsman, you are to be commended for diluting something vibrant and social into something soft and contrived!

The waterboarding solo in "Watch the Waves" is awesome. The Animal Collective cover is cute.
While I go shower in my own vomit, please enjoy Tod A's t-shirt:
