The Answer is Mogging
-
Artist:
No work today and I fell asleep shortly after getting home yesterday so now I'm up at some ungodly hour of the morning, 5am is ok but the hours between midnight and 4 I usually reserve for rest...so here I am insomniating and ready to nail up some more shingles on the old barn,
but it's too dark and quiet outside, besides I don't want to disturb the neighbors, (they're disturbed enough without my help),...
So I'll get back to scanning some old photos
and catching up with my fellow musicologists.
Have I told you lately how much I love you kids? You all help keep it fresh and alive. Thanks for being here and
Mog On!
Immigration Man - MoG
MõG dates from 1993. MõG (rhymes with rogue) is a word, in some traditional languages and folklore, that is said to mean shape shifter or shaman. MõG was formed from numerous bands of various styles from Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. They recorded 4 CDs... "Hollis Crossing Live" (1993)... "Herman Says Play" (1995)... "too fisted" (1996)... and "Bizarre Medical Experiments" (1998). The last 3 CDs were recorded at the legendary Blue Jay Recording Studios outside Boston, MA. And, yes, there is a music/social website called MoG.com which is now unrelated to the band. MoG.com was the band's original website, but an offer that couldn't be refused resulted in MõG selling it to the owner of GraceNote.com back in 2005.

So, Bruce, do you sometimes mog with umlauts or always without?
There were nights when I first joined Mog when I was up late on the west coast (U.S.) posting and getting no responses and I felt like I'd been failed. So just here letting you know it's always been a pleasure and there have definitely been times when Mog was my late night insomniac refuge. It would be better if I were more creative and able to use that every time I can't sleep but there's times my brain is semi-useless except for this sort of thing and the music stuff just pours out. And thankfully there are others somewhat like me.
Cheers, sleep well when you sleep, mog well when you don't.
"do you sometimes mog with umlauts or always without?"
Usually I mog alone Rob, but if the umlauts are lurking I invite them to join in.
Sometimes I want to go back and revisit everybody's "faied posts" that have ever been and leave a comment, there are some real jewels back there that sadly got overlooked.
Cheers

Sounds like someone needs an intervention :P

Your sleeplessness benifits us all.

Bruce, only you could subtly use insomniating. just like that. much love back at ya.
Between midnight and 4am, oye vey! Too early for me, btw nice barn Bruce...
I'll never say mog the same. I just started scanning some old pics myself Bruce. I'll watch for ya on the night shift...
Bruce - great tuneage to go along with your post.
Wishing I had neighbors who understood that house construction and lawn care should wait til long after the sun rises
Thanks Deb and everybody else that commented, sorry I didn't get back to this sooner. Lawn care ethics drive me crazy as well Deb, solve the gas problems by chucking all the blowers and whackers.
K, if you come make sure you bring your music collection and some of that Georgia barbecue ;)
Steve, I want to be in your neck of the woods, so many great shows out there.
J, my life is one long and constant intervention, only problem being it's me that's doing the intervening.
Scot, looking forward to seeing some of your scans, you flickr?
The barn is getting there but still have a lot to do before it can be used for anything besides storage.
Poe, I tend to flex the wordage a bit heavily sometimes, possibly more than I ought.
Third shift mogging isn't all it's cracked up to be, the commenting gets dated pretty quickly ;)
and a Hey to Jeff and Ray, been missing a bit around here and catchup seems nearly impossibe as the world whizs by...
if it werent so DAMNED COLD THURRRR
73 degrees right now, and we just had a brief shower.
I'm on the coast, it doesn't get really cold until January usually and even then it's not really that bad.
ALL YOU YANKESS SAY THAT :)
Am too late for the purpose of this post, but I promise to be here next time that insomnia attacks you :*
It's never too late to hear from you Anna, I miss those quiet hours of mogging we used to have when the rest of the world was still asleep.
Likewise, B. Here's hoping that this winter we'll get more of those lovely hours.

Is your new home in the UK the same time zone as Greece? Pretty close I would suppose. Good Luck on the move (and with the accent).
It's 2 hours behind from Greece's time zone, but oui, no big dif.
Thank you, B! AFU (Accent Fetishists United...) for ever ;P
