The Coolest Kids in Town: a blog about Baltimore, DC, and the misadventures of two-city life.

For those of you who’d like to like to turn your attention in a more musical direction start with Deezer. Deezer lets you stream music from their impressive database, and if you become a member (sign up is free) then you can create and save your own playlists to keep c...
