This album, and frankly this band in general, simply do not get enough credit. It could be the way they completely defy any genre-definition whatsoever. It’s rock, punk, hip-hop, funk, rap, pop, even a little ska, all rolled into a crazy mashup of goodness.
After seeing them open for Jay-Z the other night in Seattle I gained a renewed appreciation for their eclecticness.
This Tumblr app on the iPhone is suprisingly nice (despite the absolutely atrocious icon and the horrible name). For simply viewing your dashboard, and quickly and easily “liking” or reblogging posts, I think it’s a more pleasant and “quick” feeling experience than the official Tumblr app.
Because you tap through posts one by one, and can even play them sequentially with timing in a slideshow mode, it just feels snappier, and somehow easier to me than either the Tumblr app or the MobileSafari web view. And for those people who like to reblog posts a lot, this app make the process incredibly easy.
It uses some Growl-like visual feedback notifications which, although a little over-done, are actually quite nice. And it shows activity on your own posts (likes and reblogs by others) in a familiar way with links to the pages.
It’s nowhere near being a replacement for the “real” Tumblr iPhone app (the new version of which looks great and should be out any day). But it does have some really good ideas and executes them very well. I hope they keep developing it.
