The only time Ive been able to pin-point the exact moment of a broken-hearted reaction to something was right before bed a few days ago. I turned on a mix to listen to while trying to trick my brain into letting me fall asleep in less than three hours, but about three songs in, “Open” came on.

The opening strings, followed by the horns, followed by the dipping bass and rounded out with Sade-esque vocals – it was too much. It felt like I had locked my heart in a room for a week with only a  TV-VCR combo, twelve bottles of wine and the only movies to choose from were Boys on the Side, Legends of the Fall, My Girl and Beaches.

But I still can’t stop listening.

The video below is NSFW and so beautiful.

I’m going through a bit of a mid-mid-life crisis at the moment and am in need of a big change so as to not lose whatever is left of my mind. I’m being challenged but unfortunately most of that is finding enough hours in the day to get things done in.

I’m really happy to have been able to stop and smell the roses for at least four minutes and twenty-one seconds. And with that, a big thank you to Sunday Girl and this fantastic RAC remix.

This song…I feel like I just had sex with The Kills’ guitar and they didn’t stay to cuddle or call the next day.

Visual artist Adam Smith, who has been a major part of The Chemical Brother’s live concert experience for years, has created a way to bring the ridiculousness of a Chemical Brothers show to the masses with his film, “Don’t Think“.

This visually stunning documentary will have you thinking you’re tripping balls even if the closest you got to the hard stuff was ordering mushrooms as your pizza topping during last Sunday’s football game.

The footage included in this film was shot during Japan’s 2011 Fujirock Festival, to an audience of over 50,000 beat heads and fans.

The film opens this Wednesday, February 1st, in theaters across Chicagoland and the suburbs.

We’ve got some friends coming for a visit this weekend and momma’s ready to get her drink on. As if I needed help getting psyched for an excuse to stock up the liquor cabinet, I’m making a little mix tape to help these last working hours go by as quickly as possible.
