We’re trying to keep things fresh around here. It’s summer at Penn. It’s stale. There’s no one here. The Franklin statue hasn’t been pissed on in a while and he’s getting antsy. We TF contributors are out and about covering musical happenings across the country. Today, I checked out Jack White’s new band The Dead Weathers as they opened an exclusive record store in NYC. They also played a show underground, which naturally, was awesome. Check out my coverage at ABC’s music website, Amplified.

Hey guys and girls and guy-girls. One of your TrippingFranklin bloggers (me) is spending the summer working for a music web show called Amplified. We chill with bands like Passion Pit, Phoenix, Moby and other super duper cool musicians. I also write for ABC’s music blog, which you can (and should) check out right here. I just made a summer-themed playlist for them which is up on the site right now. If you’ve ever said to yourself, “Man, if only I knew the perfect summer jam to throw on right now to really feel the full throttle of summer,” you’re in luck. It’s time to fully embrace life away from Penn.

Wednesday Playlist

UPDATE: Tragically, Imeem is not allowing me to embed the playlist. Well, you can click the link right above this to hear it in the meantime, or just wait til I figure it out.
