This is Jackson. He is my mom’s disturbingly cute new puppy. Say hi Jackson!
Now I know I unfairly hate on SEPTA a lot but seriously update your maps dude

The Ting Tings - “Great DJ”
Ok, such a great guilty pleasure. I heard “Shut Up and Let Me Go” before (yes, from the iPod commercial and from watching iJustine be really hot while listening to it) as well as “That’s Not My Name” (which I mistakenly thought was a Fergie song for a second when I was shopping in Express For Dudes one day)… and I jived pretty well with both of these tracks.
Now, most people know my unhealthy obsession with lead-off tracks from albums, and this is yet another one. I’m absolutely fascinated with how easy something like “ah ah ah’s” can get stuck in one’s head, and after one spin of this song and having the chorus chisel it into your brain, I’m sure this will be understandable.
You know you're a dude in your early twenties when...
You haven’t been able to cook food for days because you’ve been too lazy to put the stuff from the sink into the dishwasher (you know, the thing that cleans dishes FOR YOU) and therefore haven’t had the space to cook.
But hey: if there’s a Five Guys nearby, who cares, right? :)

Modest Mouse - “Dashboard”
Here’s a nice throwback to last summer (for me at least, anyway). I always loved Modest Mouse’s faster-paced tracks — Isaac Brock tends to freak out more on these tracks vocally, which I like. Plus, you know, it’s nice out, and listening to fun pop music on sunny days is pretty much the best.
Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me (via Dirteestanktv)
Came across this video this morning. Dizzee already put a smile on my face, but I had never hear this song before. Good stuff. Good stuff indeed :)
Good call. It’s rare to see grime shit do well (the closest I’ve seen is Hadouken! so far). This only proves that its momentum is definitely on the upswing.
Q-Tip “Gettin Up”
The new Q-Tip track. It’s super chill, and definitely harkens back to the early 90’s Tribe vibe… check the backing flute and piano, as well as Tip’s trademark smooth vocal acrobatics (via XXL)
