New computer calls for a new post.
I just got a new computer. It's awesome, but no one really wants to hear about it. So instead, let's focus on Diplo, who is pretty awesome. Well, at least I think he is. I mean, he put on a DJ set for 7 people. To do that without even flinching is pretty awesome in my opinion. Here is one fun highlight of the short set:Philly was his last stop (and his hometown) in his Pizza Party tour

Seattle is the coolest place in the world because....
of the guys pictured above. Well they aren't the only reason, but they're a pretty damn good one. Fleet Foxes have an amazing unique sound that I find hard to place in a specific genre. I've heard them describe themselves as baroque pop vocal harmonies, but in reality its just damn good music. What's even cooler is that they can do it live. Not everyone can take four piece harmonies, add a shit

Now that the elections over...
Man what a night. I don't know about where you are all from but Boston was excited last night. People took the streets once Obama had been declared winner. It reminded me of the Red Sox riot last year except there was a reason for it. But looking past Obama, this was still a huge election. Proposition 8 in California passed, banning gay marriage there. The same ban passed in Florida and

Mashups + Remixes = Dancing
Hey Yall, been a bit but I figured I would put something up before the Halloween weekend to get everyone pumped to dress up in ridiculous costumes. Lately I've come across a ton of dancy stuff that I thought would be perfect for additions to any dance party mix. Then I noticed that a few of the artists I had chosen had some other cool remixes/new material so I thought I might as well put those ...

Concert Review! Ra Ra Riot!
Boston has been good to me this year. Last year, I was slightly disappointed with many of the bands that came through. Last weekend at the Middle East I was able to see Ra Ra Riot which was one of the most energetic concerts I've ever been too. It was quite Epic. I have never seen someone rock out so hard with a cello in my life. Go see them if you get the chance. First the two opening band

Laziness is the leading cause of short posts...
Hey there, this is Steven and I'm finally posting on the blog. I'm lazy, (and have two midterms this week) so this post will be short. Though previously mentioned, I unfortunately will not be posting about Jamie Lidell or his fabulous (Yes, fabulous) opener, Janelle Monae this time. Instead, I will just be posting a video you have to see, brought to us by Justice: Sexy, eh? I thought

Long weekend usually = sick
and not in the normal legit way. Thanks to all the free time given to me by Columbus day, I managed to push my body too far and thus ended up sick. But that's what college life does to us all I supposed. My friend Steven, who supposedly writes for this blog, (he should have something up this week unless he's really lazy) traveled all the way up to Boston for a weekend of festivities. Jamie Lidell

Hello!!!!
Well, I finally got around to creating a music blog after being harrassed by my friends. I still really don't have a clear idea of what my posts are going to consist of but I figure I will just start with what music I find to be taking up a decent chunk of my listening time.My name is Jake for all of you who don't know me. I am currently attending school in Boston, Ma at Northeastern University
