kick out the jams

Just wanted to know what you other monkeys listen to in the morning on the commute to work whether it be an ipod on the train or the 5000 watt system you got built into your trunk to prove once and for all to the world that the closest profession to banking is selling crack. If you don’t have a morning commute bc you sleep at your desk you may write a favorite song from your early childhood.

I am gonna download so much music thanks to this post.

Also, for a sick beat that makes you feel like a titan, check out Amazing (kaskade remix)

Wall Street leaders now understand that they made a mistake, one born of their innocent and trusting nature. They trusted ordinary Americans to behave more responsibly than they themselves ever would, and these ordinary Americans betrayed their trust.
