What I think is cool this week:

Get Up Kids - Shatter your lungs
Can't you already tell it's Vampire Weekend plus some je ne sais quoi? Except that they've been around since before Vampire Weekend visited their first summer home. Music history fail on my part.



Devlin - Let It Go (Joker Remix)
You could punch Justin Timberlake in the teeth and force feed Timbaland a Four Loko, but I don't have the balls to do that, so I listen to this.



I don't have kids yet, but...
Little girl singing Edward Sharpe's "Home?" Yes Please. Watch now. Reproduce for reproduction's sake (I mean, if you're there yet. keep it in your collective pants, kids).




Kanye and Jay Z
This dynamic duo releases their first single Tues Jan 11 (1.11.11). Is it too early to rain down praise for what should surely be a grab-your-ear-and-never-let-go single and a record of similar quality ? mmmmm.. no. Sorry I party.

Gym @ work
The ol workplace is building a gym INSIDE our office and ONLY employees can go.
Benefits: working out, a measly $20 monthly fee, convenience.
Cons: forced to see coworkers sweat.
Verdict: Sorry eyeballs.

The twitter guessing game
Who the eff is that person on my twitter feed? Right? It's fun.

What's not cool this week:

Internet passwords
I can't log in to my systems at work right now. Let's just get rid of this whole passowrd concept, yeah? Anyone in IT ever watch James Bond? In the 70's they were accessing shit with their eyeballs. Let's go.

Donuts
Cake, no problem. Beer, one more over here, please. Chocalate and butter pie? Sounds like an exotic delicacy I must try. But donuts are what fat cops and Homer Simpson eat. Therefore I'm required to regret that maple glazed mistake I just made.

Thank god for @kesslovesrobots, Pitchfork and Rcrdlbl.com for portions of this post.
