The 40-year streak is over. And that means I won't get any sleep tonight because, yes, I'm in Mexico City for the summer.

CDMX is in full celebration mode after the Mexican national team secured its first knockout stage win in 40 years with a dominant 2-0 win over Ecuador on Tuesday night at the famed Estadio Azteca in Mexico City. El Tri had not accomplished the feat since 1986.

Matt Damon continues his ‘Odyssey’ to bring clean water to people who need it
See Matt Damon become a rapper to make sure everyone knows they can help a family in need
Adult, Male, Man

Matt Damon is a busy man. He has always had a lot going on and is one of the true movie stars remaining in the world today. But, while he is winding down the build-up for one of the biggest projects of his career, Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, he is not distracted from his lifelong project to bring clean water to millions around the world. Get Blue is a new initiative launched to further that mission. It is partnering with a ton of your favorite brands so you can easily get on board and bring this goal closer to shore. One of the ways he is doing this is by bringing attention to the cause by stepping into a new role of The Nomad, a rapper spittin' rhymes about water.

Music moves people in ways that few things can. It connects us, crosses borders, and makes us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. That’s what Get Blue is built on. I won’t stop looking for creative ways to draw attention, encourage participation and drive donations to help solve the global water crisis. - Matt Damon

What was once old is new again: Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition reunites generations
A new limited edition turntable combining physical and streaming makes music as generational as family
Electronics, Cd Player, Hot Tub

I hail from the generation of the curated playlist. While most of the artists I grew up listening to had phenomenal albums (can we get a standing ovation for Michael Jackson's Thriller or Dr. Dre's The Chronic?), my dad was of the mind that singles were only as good for a couple of stand-alone minutes and worked better in the context of an entire album. He could sit and listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or The Beatles' Abbey Road with no breaks. I think the only album we could both do that with was Nirvana's Nevermind. In any case, by the time I was able to decide on the music in my own car, my generation was ripping music and making playlists on CDs. Even the greatest hits collections still had only one artist at a time. We wanted a collection of artists giving us the same feeling for 90 minutes without changing a CD. However, there is something to be said about my dad's way. A good album is a good album. And listening to them unbroken is a lost joy we're discovering again as a society. That is why Bang & Olufsen's new Beosystem drop is making a splash. The Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition brings the two generations together, making music the connection we've always needed it to be.
