So, because I'm chronically unemployed, (hard times, economic recession, overall laziness, no marketable skills, take your pick), I was up last night watching TV. I tuned into Conan O' Brien, watching it all the way, pretty much bored, I can't go to sleep early because...well that's a long story. Usually the bands on Conan O' Brien, while entertaining, never really capture my attention. I don't know why, for a band to catch my attention like that, it requires a certain sound, although sometimes it takes a while for a band to really capture my attention. The band on last night was Rose Hill Drive. Sitting on the couch with a cold drink in my hand 1:30 in the morning, as soon as I heard them I realized this was different.
I liked their sound, that's the first thing I realized, it snapped, a sudden realization of the obvious, right? I put the drink down, stand up, I wanted to pay more attention to the sound. To the lyrics. For a live performance, it was good. They were really concentrated on their song. Never heard of Rose Hill Drive, but man, they're good. Their sound is reminiscent of classic rock, peppered with a little alternative, I totally enjoyed it, and figured I gotta say something about these guys, even if somebody beat me to it, it doesn't matter. Check them out here, you won't be disappointed... A final question to ya, moggers, anyone else discover bands like this?
So lately, I've been feeling a little music starved, I don't really know why, can't really explain seeing as how I'm surrounded with all of you, I should be more than filled with musical goodness...I'm not. So, I've decided to use whatever resources I have at my disposal to fulfill said need. Since I'm currently unemployed, I can't use Rhapsody as well as some of you, but it's cool. I decided to use Pandora's ability to create custom radio streams and dedicate a singular radio stream to each of my trusted moggers and anyone else willing to share with me something they think is special. I figured about 5 or 10 bands per station should do it, but I'll probably add more. I might not be the first around here to do this, I'm not really sure myself, but I feel have to. Only you guys, the residents of the Mogverse can help me in my quest. And you will. New path, new road. Same journey. I figure it'll take me about a week or two, but I'll let you guys know how it all played out. Thanks for listening. This was Twelve.
It's 2:05 a.m as I write this. I recently discovered 311, despite the fact that I had heard about them for quite some time, I'm just now getting to listen to them. I'm a little backed up, music-wise. So much that I was beginning to feel overwhelmed. My collection's stashed away for a few months, so...without my cds, I'm at the mercy of MOG, of you, my trusted mogs, my dear friends and anyone who stumbled upon my rambling. I love the night and I feel refreshed and content as I listen to this album, which really is great, I recommend it, I mean, wow, I haven't heard music like this in a while, cause I've been kind of down. They say music has the power to heal. Many of you believe in this. I can honestly say that sometimes this is true for me. So a question to you, is it your classic oldies, stashed away, that uplift your spirits or a splash of new, fresh, music that does the job? just wondering...I've been missing from this place for a while, cause...I have no real reason.I feel really bad about that though. Just wanted to get that off my chest. To end this post, at this stage in my life, I can only feel good now. Writing my novels, which I hope someday I can publish, listening to good music, and reading your posts. Amber's just the kind of song I've been needing, something easy on the spirit. I feel really mellow and well I can describe it. You know what it feels like...

ahh i love that song. the video is good too if you haven't seen it, check it out. and i think that it doesn't matter if it's oldies or new songs, whatever strikes your fancy.
I'm sure we have all been there, but my my do you really know how to describe it so well. On a side note, since you're not up to date with music, I'll start uploading some more music of todays time. After all don't we have to add more to that old stash we keep hidden away under our beds and closets? Hope to hear from you soon though.

I vote for overall laziness.
me too...
yep...I dig hearing of discoveries like that.
the first time I ever heard Spoon was in a haphazard fashion one night when I caught an episode of Austin City Limits.
it went something like: blinkblinkblink.woah!
I'll look into Rose Hill Drive, though. thanks for the word up.
