This is a remarkable song, like much of their work...

This Weekend, Chicago

This weekend, I return to sweet home, Chicago for WorldCon, ChiCon 7, whatever you want to call it. I call it some fun filled with some hopes and lots of friends and more than one or two memories.



I love Chicago like no other city I've lived in. It moves me, much like this song. I hope to see you there. I hope to see it all.

One more word and you won't survive




And then the dubstep version, which is its own disturbing brand of awesome:
