The Brilliant Rachel's
-
Artist:The Rachel's
The Rachel’s Systems/Layers is essential. Anyone who likes music must hear it, which pretty much means anyone in existence with a pair of working ears must hear it. I can’t put into words how much I value and love this album. I have listened to it countless times and never tire of it. It’s absolutely one of the most breathtaking albums I’ve ever experienced, no joke. Directed mostly by the

Ch' Ch' Changes

Artist:
I wrote this a couple of weeks ago and never posted out of fear it was too dark: I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how I should be posting to my Mog page more often. I try to come up with interesting things to say about music. I think about what I’ve been listening to, whether anything has struck me lately, or whether I’ve had any interesting musical experiences at all. And I can’t com

A Moveable Feast
“I don’t know,” I said. “Look, if you can’t write why don’t you learn to write criticism?” “Do you think I should?” “It would be fine,” I told him. “Then you can always write. You won’t ever have to worry about it not coming nor being mute and silent. People will read it and respect it.” “Do you think I could be a good critic?”

I'm a sleeper
All I want to do is make a mix. Make a good mix for running. Make a good mix for holiday parties. And a couple more mixes as gifts. But I am stuck writing web copy. And by the time, I get home at night I refuse to even glance at another computer screen. I always wonder about the folks who stay up into the wee hours doing things with music and computers. Why can’t I bring myself to do the same? .

Mediocre Music
-
Artist:Arcade Fire, Led Zeppelin, The Shins
What do you do with all the albums that are just OK? With those albums that aren’t outright god-awful but they’re nothing special either? I think about selling them but then I wonder if I might want them around sometime to serve as pleasant, passive background music, filling the room (not your heart) with a pleasant unaffecting, and maybe even interesting, mood. Sometimes I just want to rid my

Mash Ups
Most of y'all have probably already found these but for any who haven't (and who dig mash-ups), check "these out":http://www.stereogum.com/archives/004152.html#moreThat artists have an ear for combining seemingly disparate sounds in a way that fits and makes sense fascinates me -- the possibilties within and power of music is completely without limit. It's so great.

New Ed Banger Comp On The Way
The Parisian dance label Ed Banger will now find distribution in the U.S. through Vice Records. Founded by Pedro Winter, also known as Busy P and the longtime manager of Daft Punk, Ed Banger has been around since 2003, acting as an outlet for dance and electronic French acts (typically with a thrashing/aggressive edge) of all varieties. To celebrate the new deal, Vice will release an Ed Banger ...

Kara Suzanne & The Gojo Hearts

Artist:Kara Suzanne & The Gojo Hearts
Disclaimer: The following artist is a friend of mine. Kara Suzanne is a wonderful singer and guitarist that I think you should all know about. She’d been playing the coffee circuit for years around the Pacific Northwest before relocating to the Big Apple, hoping for a big break (needless to say). And it seems she’s gotten a lot closer. Now rounded out by a full band (The Gojo Hearts) and a raw
