hypem:

But plenty of people have awesome insights on music, even if they post about everything else on their tumblelog, too. So now, you can submit your music posts to the Hype Tumblr.

no remixes, no covers — just the originals. (well, except for “Jimmy,” but Kevin Barnes really makes that his own ;)
Wait, you mean the popular charts can actually be relevant to what i want to listen to? They can actually be an indicator of popular new music? THANK YOU!!! Make it stick, homie ;)

WatchTune-Yards - “Real Live Flesh”
I have such a big crush on the blonde. These girls did a crazy dance routine to one of the new songs Merrill played at a small cafe in Oakland a few weeks back. So rad. The already incredible live show continues to improve.

Holy cow this is awesome. Prep questions + chat room + paid tutors all for free.
We recently lost a talented developer to them (purely a scrum vs agile decision, he’s a great friend and fan of Topspin), and they have a great product. They make me wish I saw (adequate) value in academia.
Watchthe señors of marseille - davey
this was one of my favorite tracks of the year and finally there’s a video to go along with it! woohoo!

Islands - No You Don’t (Video)
