SOUNDTRACK: SHAD & DALLAS-“Listen (remix)” (2010).
The other track on the Shad and Dallas EP is a remix of “Listen” from Shad’s TSOL album. I like the original song quite a bit.
The remix is marginally faster than the original. And Dallas Green adds a few lines over the “chorus” (in the original, Shad just says “listen” over and over). It’s a nice addition to a good song. In fact, I went back to the original and realized that I kind of missed Dallas’ section (and that was after only two listens).
This single benefits Skate4Cancer, so it’s for a good cause and worth checking out.

This is the second story that The Walrus published. And this author (who I’d never actually heard of) is also a bestseller (with at the time nine books out).
I found this story a little confusing at first (there are many different people introduced without context in the opening paragraph or two). But once I sussed out who Em had broken up with, who her ex husband was and who her daughter’s ex-boyfriend was, the story came together quite nicely.
Basically this is the story of two breakups. Em, a widow, has recently become involved with Michael. (Who is married). When her daughter, Sarah, calls to say that she wants to come back home, Em soon realizes that Sarah is in a similar heartbroken predicament (although at least Sarah’s boyfriend isn’t married).
