2010 Summer Music Mix

So this summer I started realizing that a lot of the indie shit that I was listening to had a similar surf-pop feel to it. I thought it would make for a good summer mix, so I started putting together a playlist. I decided to include only music which was released this year (by this I mean it was on an album or single released this year). I included a good amount of other stuff besides the surf-pop, if you're not feeling that. I wanted to post this earlier (looks like I starting writing it a few weeks ago), but didn't get around to it until now. But hey, you can enjoy summer music anytime, maybe even more so once the weather starts turning cooler.

Wish List

I think to go into a lengthy explanation of what I want to happen this weekend would be far too obtuse of a blog post. So instead I have narrowed down the key things that need to happen this weekend.

1. Honor the Entry
2. Get Basils no earlier than 1:30am
3. Somehow break into west
4. Tag Stadium 110 somewhere on campus
5. duct tape someone who hasn't graduated (from Carleton) yet.
6. Get Mark riled up about something that no one really cares about
7. Dance to Yadda Yadda Yadda
8. Consume more than one bottle of the cobra.

I guess I'm looking for you guys to add in the rest.

The Future is Upon Us

Martin Aircraft has announced that they are finalizing their prototype jetpack that they hope to begin selling within a year. While the first will be sold to emergency workers, they will be sold to wealthy buyers as well. The estimated cost: $100,000 (I would choose a jetpack over a Porsche any day). They will have a range of 31.5 miles (due to FAA Ultralight regulations) and a maximum height of 8000 feet. To see it in action, go here:

WHO IS READY?!
