Junior Boys!

Junior Boys played in Cambridge's very own Middle East last night.

They're two cool Canadian cats who play solid Indie electro pop.

In case you didn't see them last night, at the very least you deserve a little taste.

Formal Week Recap

Apologies to everyone who was looking forward to some Strausification at the Mather formal tonight.

It wasn't clear to some that booking a DJ Straus performance doesn't involve micromanaging the music playlist.

Otherwise, Formal Week was a blast. Many many thanks to all those who came out and danced their hearts out, sweaty tuxes and all.

Cabot, Pfoho, Lowell, Leverett - you rock.

Daft Diana!

"Daft Punk's "Da Funk" and Diana Ross' "Upside Down" make some love for us in this nice track courtesy of 2Bit. Clashes a bit in the middle but solid overall.

MenSpeakUp - Let Love Rule!

The MenSpeakUp Campaign kicks off today! I've been personally involved in the project and our mission is "To enlist men to speak up and take action against all forms of gender violence and inequality."

Its a truly great cause, and the founders have been hard at work for months. The Site is wonderful and will only improve as more people get involved. We should never underestimate our power to change bad norms. Music and Parties included.

The MenSpeakUp launch is the perfect time for Justice and Lenny Kravitz to remind us to "Let Love Rule" with this new remix of a 1989 original.

Bikes! + Sharing!

Harvard's Bike Share Program officially launches today!

Here's the lowdown:
