Button Hits The Books, But Also Rocks Out

With finals now officially here, everyone's got studying and paper-writing on the brain.  As you may have noticed, UTB is continuing to update sporadically, as we will throughout exam period.  What does this mean for you?  Keep sending in tips!  See a crazy study fort in Van Pelt, or have an insane story from a weekend of formal-hopping? Hit us up!  While we wait for your tips, Street's editors have taken the liberty of putting together a sick playlist for you all.  (We hope it is, at least -- our music editors, fresh off their "Too Cool For Street" paper plate award at this weekend's gala extravaganza, have not deigned to contribute. Guyyyys, you're killing us.) Clicking on each song should allow you to listen -- enjoy! "Can I Kick It?" - A Tribe Called Quest Because, yes, I can in fact kick it. --Julia Rubin

"Mirando" - Ratatat My favvvvvvv. --Lauren Lipsay

"Oxford Comma" - Vampire Weekend I can't listen to music with lyrics while I study, but the grammatical namesake of this song makes me feel academic during a study break. --Hillary Reinsberg

"Let's Get Ready To Rumble (Remix)" - Jock Jams Jock Jams volume I, II, III, IV. for irony. --Julie Steinberg

"Wake Up" - The Arcade Fire Not only is it the song in the freaking amazing Where the Wild Things Are trailer, but it's called Wake Up. It's purpose is right there in the title. I have literally been listening to it on repeat for like three days. OK, maybe not literally. Figuratively. --Jess Spiegelman

"This Is The Day" - The The The title says it all. --Eliza Rothstein

"Walking On Broken Glass" - Annie Lennox Sounds so sweet, actually pretty harsh. (Ha, people say the same thing about me.) --Heather Schwedel
