If you watched my brief appearance on CBC's Tv show, The Hour tonight and were wondering where you can get your own I Love Tehran t-shirt, you can actually buy it online at ILoveTehran.com.
I'm trying to convince my friends who are behind I love Tehran t-shirt to do something similar for Baghdad, Kabul, Beirut.
And, also to buy a copy of O-Hum's album, you can contact them through their official website. The track is titled Darvish and it's one of their first tracks totally recorded in Shahram Shahrbaf's basement.

And in case you missed the show, you can watch it online too until tomorrow night, I guess.
Nicholas Burns, Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs, and chief officer in charge of Iran policy in the U.S. Department of State, has spoken at the Council on Foreign Relations about US policy toward Iran.
You can read the transcript and listen to the recorded audio version.
Radio Farda was covering the rebellious cleric, Mohammed Kazemeini Boroujerdi, as if he was a revolutionary leader with hundreds of thousands of devotees and was totally disrupting life in Tehran and challenging the Islamic Republic, as a secular leader, a liberator. (Check out the complete coverage of the story and a cached version of their front page yesterday. )
Its coverage was extremely biased and unprofessional, in that it was implicitly encouraging the viewers to join this man of God who has turned against the clergy himself.
I've consulted Radio Farda for their website in Prague a while ago and I have to say that their editors in Prague are much less biased their its office in Washington D.C. Its website even makes things worse with its selection of the top news, headlines, pictures, excerpts etc.
Many of the Prague staff even believed the type of journalism conducted in Washington D.C's branch has badly damaged the credibility of Radio Farda as a whole.
