Regarding the Merritt-guilt (there has to be a lovely word in German for that!), I was relieved the other night on Pseu's message board when people came out and said they wouldn't be watching the much-praised Kathleen Hanna documentary, which turned into a great discussion about other, better, unfairly forgotten riot grrrl bands.
