Once upon commenting on how large my friend Drew’s record collection was he said something about wanting to have the right music for whatever the occasion was.  I like that idea: that life can be enhanced by the music that we surround ourselves with, and, conversely, that music can be more meaningful when played at the right moment.

The Diamond Age’s new mix is made up of music mostly from film scores.  Matt said he made to play between sets at rock shows, but I’d say it makes for a perfect soundtrack to life in general.

There’s a TON of good music going on in Chicago tonight.  Four Tet at Sonotheque,  Baby Allright at Ronny’s, Josh Abrams & the Colorist at the Viaduct, and The Occidental Brothers Dance Band International at the Bottle.  Choose wisely friends.

I’m leaving to go to Mali in a couple weeks.  If you have any suggestions of places to go while I’m there, I’m all ears.
