I don’t know how many of you nice readers are actually in the Providence area, but if you are and you’re looking for something to do tonight, you should head down to the Dark Lady (on Snow Street) for TITLESS. It’s a benefit for Rachel Carns, who was in the Need and Twin and King Cobra (not in that order). She had a double mastectomy recently and now had shitloads of medical bills to pay. Arcing will be playing; that’s a brand-new band made up of one-third of Sweetthieves and both halves of Tiny Hawks; also Nicky Click will be playing and DJ Shomi Noise will be DJ-ing.
As I told a friend, the queers will be out in full force tonight which is kind of really exciting because the queers of Providence are never out in full force, ever.
There’s also raffles, for (including many, many other things) an Njoy Purewand and gift certificates to all the coolest restaurants in town.

The Pop Chart starts in about five minutes.
A shorter news section today. Too much of my week was spent reading reactions to Kanye West jumping up on stage and interrupting Taylor Swift to say that Beyonce was better. (Though not a single thing I read mentioned that Kanye West just happens to have a new appearance on a remix of a Beyonce song about big egos. Because yeah, that’s not commercial synergy or anything.)
Anyway…
The Nation on the Crusade against sex trafficking.
The Guardian on young girls as sex objects.
A 65-year old man won a ladies’ poker tournament.
Kathryn Joyce on the grim reality of Christian adoption agencies.
Bookfinder’s list of the year’s most searched out of print books.
Finally, if you’re up for a real downer, check out my post about India’s skewed sex ratio over at Carnal Nation.
