DRUNK DIAL

When the liquor settles in your system and shadows start dancing on the walls in your blurry periphery, who creeps into your mind? Whether it’s fueled by hurt, sexual energy or fondness, everyone has a person lingering in their subconscious that would complete the perfect Champagne Chronic Nightcap. By drunken default or with inhibitions suppressed, John or Jane Doe is only a Blackberry key away from your sensual sweet nothings.

Foreclosure

By this age, we’ve all been hurt. We’ve run into that person that transcended our common sense; made us move into an out of body experience and just flat out lose our marbles. Like when you were young and folks said you got the wind knocked out of you if you fell down. That soul cry.That chest heave. Those wet pillows. Those experiences make an imprint on your heart and hopefully by the time you come up for air you feel better, not bitter. That’s why I called it foreclosure because when that happens shit shuts down and you lose everything.

These songs are some that take me there. The album that got me through the toughest breakup and only heartbreak I’ve ever experienced was Feist’s Let it Die. Rather than hit you with a slew of Alicia Keys or something you have I tried to go outside the realm and snatch songs like In A Sentimental Mood (i.e. Love Jones). So since folks requested breakup tunes, here they are. If you are struggling, I hope they are fitting to the moment.No matter the circumstance never settle, because you end up settling for less than what you settled for!

And as always, feedback and theme suggestions do the body good like milk. I have so many more breakup tunes that I may revisit this one later. Props to The Talented Mr. Shabazz aka $ for the art.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sticking with the Blind I Team! I feel like we don’t say that enough because we’re so busy looking for that fresh shit for you all to partake in. This turn that we’re all about to take is going to be crazy! Stick with us, have we ever dissapointed you before? Of COURSE not…

So let me reward your patience a little and let you know a bit about where we’re headed. We recently appointed Meaghan, Maiya, Dennis, Geo, and Jamilah to “stunner status”…lol….as resident contributors to our blog. NO’s introduction should have covered the basis of that. What we’re orchestrating is a conglamerate of expertises (is that a word?) that all fit under the mission statement that I’ve taken the liberty to dumb down for everyone: Always Fresh, Always Early. Music, Technology, Current Events, TV, Movies, Fashion, Passion, we’ve got what you need to succeed.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg too…I don’t wanna let all the cats out the bag, but you’ll see tomorrow night. Check out the new additions to the Playlist and stay tuned!
