W-A-S-H-I-N-G-T-O-N, baby, D-C!

The Magnetic Fields - Washington, D.C.

So in explanation for my absence, the other JD & I were out in the titular city finding ourselves a place to stay post-August 1st. And fortunately we did. After pounding the pavement for several days we lucked into getting our top choice. Now if only we had jobs....

Anyway, in honor of the impending move I wanted to post some D.C.-centric stuff. I don't know much go go, so I decided to go with the Magnetic Fields track above (off the grandiose 69 Love Songs album) and a couple of tracks from the only D.C. rapper I know (but who I really dig) - Wale. So here he is on remixes of a couple of songs you may have heard somewhere before, if you've been say, breathing. Both these tracks are featured on his mixtape with Nick Catchdubs 100 Miles & Running, which is available for free download in full here.
