You can't deconstruct music like that without loving it. And to make an album the central focus of a major work is a serious commitment. Watching Chris juggle and listening to Danger Mouse mix shows me how other people hear music that I love. And it makes me love it that much more. So thanks, guys, for sharing your work with us. (And Stephen Colbert - if you haven't heard them yet, check out the Fab Four's Christmas Albums. They're guaranteed to please.)

Equal to the love you make
I love that video of Chris Bliss juggling to The Beatles. It gives me goosebumps every time I see it, and sometimes it even brings tears to my eyes. But it took me a while to figure out why: It's really about realizing how much love he shows for The Beatles and their music. I have a similar reaction when I listen to The Grey Album by Danger Mouse. His overwhelming love of the music gets me every time.
