WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

Yup, I got EMCD'd

Posted over 2 years ago
My friend "Helen":http://mog.com/QueenofHell, has been a supporter of Patrick Wolf since Day 1 here on MOG. She did us the favor of a "wonderful introduction":http://mog.com/QueenofHell/blog_post/24354 to the man's work. I had heard of him, but hadn't heard him, but who was I to resist her pleas that I listen? So I did. It was _good_.I picked up Lycanthropy and Wind in the Wires, and liked them very much. "Bloodbeat" even grabbed me enough to make it onto the old, tiny MP3 player.So, once The Magic Position was released, who would drop in to inform me that the album was available, but Helen, knowing full well that she had her claws in me (in a good way). So, I got it, but hadn't taken the chance to fully listen to it, until this week.Yesterday, I was running errands, so I popped the Gigabeat into the car stereo, and switched to the next album, which happened to be The Magic Position. I was stunned; I can't think of any better word to describe the experience.I could describe his work, but Helen does a much better job; please, go read her post. And thank you again, Helen, for everything.

  4. Dale says Shawn, the term stands for Evil Music-Crack Dealer, and originates from chucky's post "here":http://mog.com/chucky/blog_post/36853, where she gives me the title for luring her into liking Mew.

  15. Dale says Oh yeah! I noticed the guy with the glasses, but now that you mention it, he does look like their bassist. So, are you gonna get onto IM at all today? I've been working on my greetings. :)

  18. Peggah says What's weird, is that my friend had a PW song on his myspace and I gave it a listen for the first time.

  20. Dale says Did you enjoy Anna piling on there as well? The day I have to walk away from MOG for a week, I'm gonna have the worst shakes ever. Especially if, heaven help me, I don't have the Gigabeat with me.

  21. chucky says Why yes, I did. But, I won't ever be truly happy until I earn that honor myself.... And, yes - lengthy periods of time without mog are absolute torture. :(
