Big Business - Grounds for Divorce [mp3]
The other day I was sitting writing thinking about how I hate sitting writing thinking about freelance fields, being a freelance writer, making freelance funds for freelance freedom, etc. and I was probably working on an assignment relating to search engine optimization or health insurance when I thought it would be a nice distraction to listen to some music while I sat there in thought, writing. I opened up Amarok or Songbird or Rhythmbox or Banshee or Exaile or whatever damn Linux music player I was trying to make work with my nuanced taste in music players and started skimming through my library and at the sight of Big Business, I stopped and thought, “Who are Big Business again? I really should clean up my library.” Then I pressed play.
Back to sitting writing thinking with Big Business blaring through my headphones, no more than a few sentences into my missive about the state of Pre-1993 Stock Car racing in the United Kingdom, or some other such press release nonsense, I begin to wonder why is it that I have this Big Business business, exactly. Briefly, I consider stopping the music and deleting the folder containing Big Business, relegating it to the tried and failed probably-Pitchfork-recommendations pile (of which there is a rather sizable population). The involved manner with which I think of deleting Big Business and the proper category it belongs to causes me to go a step further, probably a strategy to avoid returning to penning the next great 7 TIPS FOR INTERVIEW SUCCESS or something. In such states, it is easy to imagine the literal process of deleting Big Business, the folder residing for 30 days in my Recycle Bin before truly becoming “deleted” or at least it would be made more irretrievable until such a day that other data was written to the exact location on the hard disk that Big Business formerly occupied and even then that step would need to be repeated numerous times before it became completely impossible to recapture the magic of Big Business. All this extra thinking about the manner in which hard disks work is enough delay that I don’t quite delete Big Business yet, or even stop the music, before a toolbar notification alerting me to the presence of my girlfriend’s cyber existence fades into the top right of my screen indicating a question from her, somewhere miles away, about vitamin B12.
We exchange curious conversation about the raw food diet and I pretend to look up information regarding the best manner for a raw foodist to attain B12, not truly wanting to know or even really caring too much because all of the sudden, I can’t stop listening to this Big Business track. Initially it was the song title that piqued my interest, “Grounds for Divorce.” No irony here of course, I love my girlfriend and the raw food diet, I would never divorce those entities. It turns out that the grounds for divorce are witchcraft and occult, which are the same. The song soon ends and I listen again. Something about the guitar riffs and clever lyrics has me totally enamored with Big Business. Then I flat out put the song on repeat and open up a pristine white blank Google Doc. The rest is above my friend. I suppose now I shall return to writing Vietnam travel tips.
Big Business are a rhythm and blues band from Los Angeles. The featured song is from the album Here Come the Waterworks. Purchase the music at Amazon | Insound | eMusic.
