headphones

Nothing cannot be moved by the quiet melodies of songwriter Cass McCombs. Not even these adorable dogs strolling around NYC's East Village.

Some of them had a little trouble keeping their headphones plugged in.

From now on, I'm going to apply the term "doff" to whenever I remove my headphones to talk to someone.

Example: "So I was walking down the street the other day when I ran into Hank so I doffed my headphones and went 'Dude! Have you heard the new Death Grips single yet? It's raw as hell' and then I kept walking because it wasn't actually Hank and I felt embarrassed."

In an age where we fetishize outdated technology, it's hard to tell if this guy is way behind the times, or far ahead of it. I wouldn't be surprised if everyone carried a phonograph around with them instead of an iPod by the year 2030.
