When it comes down to it all, we have no earthly idea when Frank Ocean’s finally going to drop Boys Don’t Cry, so chill out already — but until that happens, rest assured that there’s a bright spot in the world of technology that will make the album’s premiere date go much smoother. A new app, called (650)82OCEAN, searches Spotify, iTunes, and Twitter for all Ocean-related news and, “the second it detects that a new album has gone live,†will alert you via text message or email, with a link to purchase it. Created by Shahzeb Khan, an engineering student at UC Davis, the well-designed app is currently free but suggests a $2 donation. Please don’t mistake it for 867-5309/Jenny.
