It's been a long while since I posted anything, or even paid much attention to what's going on in Mog-land...bad me, no biscuit.Anyway, just to get back into it, here's one of my favourite tracks from Basement Jaxx's latest album, "Scars".Yoko Ono appears as guest vocalist....which I have to say filled me with a certain trepidation before I'd heard it (not from any Beatles-related animosity or any

Wow, this is in fact my first post of this year, can you believe it?My excuse for the last couple of months is that I've had very little internet access, and that was mostly dial-up anyway, which is frankly worse than nothing when it comes to MOG stuff.Before that, it was mostly just laziness though. :PI have however been sporadically keeping up with the MOG world, and the antics of my trusted MOG

Hiya moggers, this is my first post, so be gentle with me...I've only discovered this place recently, and overall I'm liking it, in the sense that it's nice to be able to find new music and hunt down random musical directions with more of a "human" element than stuff like Last.fm or Pandora.I have a couple of niggles with the "Mogs like me" engine, based on some of the paths it's led me down, but
