This very touching film, directed by Sean Dunne, is about Paul Mawhinney who was born and raised in Pittsburgh, PA. “Over the years he has amassed what has become the world’s largest record collection. Due to health issues and a struggling record industry Paul is being forced to sell his collection.”

This story really broke my heart. I sincerely hope there is a rich music artist, company, or anybody who is passionate about Paul’s love of music and willing to help him out. It would be wonderful to know that he could hold on to his record collection for the rest of his life and then be purchased by a museum or another collector.

Party madness this past Friday evening as my husband Lars DJ’d at his monthly residency at Moonshadows in Malibu. (Name sound familiar? Well, Moonshadows is the restaurant/bar where Mel Gibson was partying it up the night of his infamous run in with Malibu police a couple years ago.) This spot is always great times..outdoor deck lounge overlooking the pacific ocean, the crowd, amazing food, stiff drinks and of course the MUSIC.

We started by sitting outside at a table on the deck, overlooking the ocean, and enjoyed an incredible gourmet dinner from the Moonshadows restaurant. And then Lars got behind the DJ decks, dropping some sweet music to start out the beautiful early evening. Soon after his guest DJ for the evening, our very good friend Tony Watson and his lovely wife Angie showed up. Tony is one of my favorite DJ’s in LA and listening to him play is always a treat. Both Tony and Lars dropped some serious dope records throughout the night, never staying within a specific genre or style. As the night went on the place became more and more packed and soon the party was jumping and getting crazy. People were dancing, singing out loud and screaming. I’ve never seen Moonshadows get that nutty. All in all..although I was having a sober evening, (Lars drank plenty for the both of us… haha! ) I had a seriously good time and met some great new people.

My husband Lars just broadcasted the 250th episode of his weekly XM Radio show Deeper Shades of House. For this special occasion he recorded a two hour classic house special. I’ve been bumping this show at home and in the car and wanted to share it with you. Make sure to check out the playlist on his site deepershades.net.
