That’ll teach Ron Jeremy never to steal a purse again. Such a beautiful song.

There have been 45 covers of this song. This one from unheard of LA goth band Human Drama’s 1993 Pinups album may be my favourite.
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low.
And resentment rides high
But emotions won’t grow.
And we’re changing our ways
Taking different roads.
Then love will tear us apart again.
Why is the bedroom so cold
You’ve turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect run so dry
Yet there’s still this appeal
That we’ve kept through our lives.
But love will tear us apart again.
You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed
Gets a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold.
Is it something so good
Just can’t function no more
When love will tear us apart again.
Wu life
Shaolin’s finest, whattup Boo, peace your highness
Yo I’m loungin, big dick style, y’all niggaz is the flyest
Moves you’re making too fly jewels are shaking
Not a rape patient, you’re looking good fly colored Asian
Ghettoes, them is your hometown, we can go the whole round
After that, I’m shootin downtown
I’m rockin hats and you wig is all intact
Who’s that queen bee chick, eyes curly black
Freaks be movin in fly sneaks
Two finger rings and gold teeth, and ain’t afraid to hold heat
So when I step in the square dear
You better have CREAM to share, Ricans, ven aqui yeah

There’s always something brewing in the PopTech community. From the world-changing people, projects and ideas in our network, a handful of this week’s highlights follows.
- Tom Darden (PopTech 2010), executive director of Brad Pitt’s Make It Right Foundation, was tasked to oversee building 150 affordable, green, high-design homes in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, a neighborhood devastated by Hurricane Katrina. This week Fast Co.Exist announced the exciting news that Make It Right has completed its first Frank Gehry-designed home.
- 2011 PopTech Science Fellow Iain Couzin was featured on CNN earlier this week for his research using the Xbox to study locust swarms. Through his work on swarm behavior, Couzin attempts to understand how people, animals and even diseases manage to accomplish things in groups that would not be possible as individuals.
- Computational neuroscientist and 2010 PopTech Science Fellow H. Sebastian Seung conducts pioneering research on the wiring of the brain and what it reveals about genetics, personality, and memory. This week Boston.com covered Seung and the launch of EyeWire, an online game that invites volunteer “scientists” to build 3-D maps of the cell networks that are crucial for vision.
- Finally, Princeton University professor Anne-Marie Slaughter (PopTech 2011) made an appearance on The Colbert Report to talk about her Atlantic cover article, “Why Women Can’t Have It All.” Slaughter stressed that women need better job choices, ones that equally accommodate a family and full career.
