I have spent the better part of the last year somewhere in the desert sifting through and archiving what we refer to as…The Janis Joplin Vault. Dun Dun Dun.

Due to human nature these items range from fabulous to unfortunate.  The latter of which find their way to Regretsy.com.

Ahhh…the internet.  Where people of all countries, races and creeds come to semi-anonymously share, interact, learn…and create YouTube cover videos.

Janis was as fiercely strong a woman as her voice was powerful.  This is a place where that quality is celebrated. I think it’s also a proper forum to celebrate other Chicks with Bigger Balls Than You. Let me introduce you to Tanya Tagaq Gillis, a contemporary Inuit throat singer.  She creates fire, sex, pleasure, longing, [...]
