TINY GEMS

In reality, as I write this, I’m sitting in a tan cubicle at my desk job under fluorescent lights, basking in the sickly glow of the computer screen and its ever-present Excel spreadsheet. In my heart, however, I’m outside, slinging a busted boombox over my shoulder, wearing gold silk shorts and that Built by Wendy Mean Streets tee, drinking sixteen-thousand Diet Cokes, possibly hopping the next bus to Asbury Park N.J., and most definitely preemptively satisfying your needs for the utmost in perfect springtime pop jams.

Now that our old pal Muxtape has risen from the ashes – at least for now – in the form of 8tracks.com, I hope to make “Kick Out the Jams” a semi-regular feature on Tiny Gems. In honor of the sweet springtime weather that graced us here in Philadelphia this weekend, I’m gracing y’all with part one: Tiny Gems Strawberry Jams!
