What to do on a Wednesday (Ash Wednesday edition)

I’ve really been lucking with the past couple of days being holidays. I’m not quite sure what I’ll do once the streak ends. I could make up special “versions” that aren’t holiday related. I could also start to  make up my own holidays. Who knows?
So for all of those who are giving up not having [...]

New Justice track surfaces; album out later this year

It’s hard to believe that Justice’s † came out three years ago. With the exception of a handful of remixes, we really haven’t heard anything new from them since then. † is one of my all time favorite albums.

Yes Giantess make life awesome, remix Miley and Temper Trap
