I basically cried when I saw this, and then I listened to about 5 seconds of Young Love's rendition of "1979". And well...let's just say that if Billy Corgan actually agreed to this, he must have been going through a Kevin Barnes-like depression (as in when he sold the much-loved "Wraith Pinned to the Mist and other Games" off to an Outback Steakhouse commercial).
As if that wasn't bad enough, it's almost too depressing to point out the weird and sad choice of bringing in self-proclaimed "emo" "band" Panic! At the Disco to cover the Pumpkins' masterpiece, "Tonight, Tonight". It's obvious that said band's lead vocalist (not even going to give him the dignity of looking his name up on Wikipedia) is getting by on a serious lack of talent when he butchers this song with a whiny, pitchy, overall disgraceful lack of singing ability.
Nobody should look like this, ever.
Myspace is officially dead to me, as is Spin magazine, and whoever else is responsible for this so-called "tribute" album, which is more like the musical version of a balled-up kleenex. I'm really sorry Billy, Jimmy, James, and D'arcy, wherever you are.
Luckily, no one listens to tribute albums, so on to the next item of business: this shirt.
Favorite T of the Week
You may have noticed this t-shirt dress, worn by model Lydia Hearst, featured in the June/July issue of Teen Vogue. Of course it was accompanied by yet another article about thinny-thin models. So what makes this shirt worthy of such a prestigious award? Not only is it a political statement, to me it is just plain wonderful. I tried to find it on the Yellow Fever website, but alas, it was nowhere to be found. I suppose this shirt is just too cool to be worn by us mere mortals.On a side note, I will (probably) be making this a weekly thing, so expect another uber cool t-shirt next tuesday!
GROS BISOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow Greta, your blog is stellar. Truly made me think about my position in society and this conspiracy we like to call Bullshit. The T-shirt was to die for and made your blog all the more pretty, and witty. Jeez, I couldn't agree more about those lame arse songs for the pumpkins. The world would have been better off without.
2 Kudos, way up!!!
