Apes are using Skype on iPads, gambling, and building fires to cook food. I can’t even imagine how amazing it must feel to hand a chimp a pack of matches knowing he’s going to start a fire with them.

Here’s your soundtrack for the next hour. It’s a mix of the music I’ve been listening to the most in 2011. Not all of it came out in 2011, so this isn’t a “best of” or anything like that. Enjoy.

Yes, I have.  That said, I just discovered Dragonette. They remind me of a dancier Metric. Don’t get me wrong, they do their own thing, but if you like Metric, you’ll probably like...
