Surving the Subway w/ Jamie XX

A great essential mix is key to having a pleasant subway ride. With the gaggle of creatures riding amongst you, preaching to you and naturally, singing to you, it is muey importante to have something to crank up in your headphones and zone the eff* out to. Currently my favorite head boppin', subway companion has been Jamie XX and his delicious Essential Mix.

Take a listen,
 and then tell me you're not transported to a place where there's only:
 puppy dogs, ice cream and funky tunes.

(See..POOF--the guy picking his nose and scratching his ass just disappeared!)

What To Wear While Listening:

'Not So Mellow, Yellow'
Yellow can be an amazing statement color to wear. Make your yellow even more awesome by pairing it with dark Tye-dyed jeans, like these from J-Brand.

Grabbin' Money with Fitz and The Tantrums

It's not often nowadays that you hear great, big-voice rock. So when my best friend said that we must see this band called Fitz and the The Tantrums at Coachella, I was very excited. As a band, Fitz and The Tantrums are dynamic. The beautiful blending of the voices of Michael Fitzpatrick and Noell Scaggs paired with a kick ass saxist, stellar keyboardist, a bassist and percussionist, make for one hugely awesome sound. It's soulful, it's indie, it's pop, and there isn't quite anything like it around right now.

Here's the video for their single, 

Money Grabber

Enjoy!

What To Wear While Listening:

'Money Grabber'
For the girl who's a little bad-ass, a little girly, and always on her hustle. 

Go get your money, honey!
(I know I am--hence the flat boots. Have you tried running around the city in heels?
It's like having a disability.)
