Jits Magazine Logo Design Contest
Just submitted a design. Hopefully I’ll win, I’ve had good luck in the past when I won the Uncrate christmas design.
That prize package would be sweet to have.

Top Tracks on “Soul Punk”
After having this album on repeat for the past week I’ve determined the best tracks. It’s obvious that several are simply songs that are meant to be played in clubs and don’t have any real substance. I’m looking at you “Run Dry”.
Top Songs
1. “Explode”
Couldn’t have picked a better track to kick off the album. It’s got awesome energy, and is catchy to boot.
2. “Cryptozoology” (Hidden track following “Run Dry”)
One of the several obvious nods to Michael Jackson this track is certainly worth listening to “Run Dry” to get to. I’d rather just skip through “Run Dry” to get to it though haha.
3. “Bad Side of 25”
Just a really solid song, and very Jackson-esque.
4. “Greed”
Another energetic and catchy song, that really gives some life to the middle of the album.
5. “Dance Miserable”
Picking number 5 was tough, but this song won out in the end. I mean that opening bass line is just too Jones-era Jackson. It’s awesome.
“Soul Punk” (Why you should listen to it)
As a long-time fan of Fall Out Boy, I’m naturally a fan of Patrick Stump. Back in 8th grade I wanted to be just like him, in a pop punk band with an awesome voice. Plus people used to say I looked just like him back in high school, (Of course my hair was much longer and I wore a brimmed beanie all of the time) but who really knows?
I’m not a huge fan of FOB’s recent albums, in fact I haven’t even listened to their most recent effort. In reality I was glad when I heard they were on an “indefinite hiatus” (band code for “I hate these fucking people on stage with me”). It seemed like they had abandoned their original style in favor of a more palatable pop sound. Whether or not that was a good thing is debatable, but that’s not what I’m here to talk about.
After hearing “Soul Punk” I can say that I fully support the members going in their own direction even if Pat’s stuff is the best (it is). While this album isn’t groundbreaking in terms of sound, it more than picks up the slack by offering amazing vocals (obviously) and solid lyricism (as far as pop goes).
I’m especially impressed (and you should be too) that Patrick did EVERYTHING on the album. EVERY instrument, EVERY voice, ALL of the production. That takes some goddamn talent and dedication. Seriously guys, to produce an album this good sounding, even just in terms of sound quality is FUCKING DIFFICULT. Don’t believe me? Go try it yourself.
In conclusion I still want to be just like Patrick Stump and you should certainly listen to this album, even if you’re not a fan of electronic-heavy pop music. It’s like Michael Jackson had a baby with an electro R&B singer like Drake or someone.

Spring Break: Disneyland
That’s right, Maggie and I just got back from Disneyland. Four days of awesome.
I haven’t been to an amusement park since Atish and I went to Universal back in 2009. Aside from the weirdly sexual Black Lagoon Creature everything about that trip was so fucking rad. Miss you buddy.
“The Happiest Place on Earth” felt me all up in it.

Prepare yourself 1313 South Harbor Blvd, because “The Happiest Place on Earth” is about to feel me all up in it.
