I'm feeling more Funky than Frightening on this Eve of All Hallows Eve (or maybe we call it Pre-Halloween?). I feel more like bustin' some Monsterous moves and hearing some screaming MCs.Straight from back in the day, Son of Bazerk was powered by the deft fingers of the Bomb Squad productions - they of the classic Public Enemy joints. I defy you to NOT move your posterior in a funky way while list

I'm feeling rowdy and rambunctious today. Ain't gonna take no mess from no one. All the meandering cube-drones, all the dim-wit drivers, all the telemarketing termites - watch out! I"m in no mood for you. I'm a force to be reckoned with.John Cooper-Clarke - he of the long legs, big hair, and powerful punk poetry - is going to speak for me.How about you? Anyone else out there feeling their oats ...

Music makes me feel whole. At times when I am feeling picked apart by my own psyche, music wraps me in it's arms. When I feel misunderstood, music strokes my head and comforts me. It creates a safety zone for me. Here is where I am truly myself, in tune with myself. This is where I can sense that I am truly not just this isolated ego, locked in skin box. It's the soothing vibration of the unive...

I think I could possibly post a cover of Jumpin' Jack Flash every Sunday for quite some time and STILL not run out of versions. I know, I know I posted a bossa nova version many, many months ago, but I must say that this verson really takes the cake, for me. I actually picked up the EP of this on vinyl in Chicago a few years ago and still haven't gotten around to digitizing it. So, cor bless th...

Konbanwa, my Moggy Brothers and Sisters. It's been a long, long while. Where have I been? Wondering free as Samuri without a Master. Stirring up trouble between rival gangs in small towns. It's been a weird few months culminating with my internet access at home being out for 2 or 3 weeks. It's surprising how dependent you get having that particular utility. Sure, I'd be more upset about not hav...

Hello Fellow Moggers! I know we are all lovers of the digital age: The pixel and the screen. The Blog and the Space and Book and all the virtual places we like to congregate. But I also know that we are appreciators of old school technology as well. It's been a busy summer for me and I haven't had a lot of time to spend online. In my chillaxin' moments -- sitting on the porch, sipping a beverag...

Happy Summer Solstice, y'all. We flip the page this weekend and move from Spring to "officially" Summer. The weather is appropriately hot; the days are long and the nights are short. Being a Northern Hemisphere grrl, I'm revelling in the twilight up until almost 10pm. Makes it hard to go to bed. Just want to stay up late, watching the stars come out, feeling the temperature cool. Ahhhhhhhhhh. T...

Why, it sure is Gone Fishin' season 'round the ol' Mog-O-Sphere. Everyone seems to be out on summer vacation - including me. Now that the hurly-burly of the end of the school year, the beginning of the planting season, and the ongoing franticness of the job-of-work has mellowed, I just want to be out in the warm summer weather, soaking it up. I hope you are all getting a chance to get out and d...

I actually got a ticket in advance of a show. Do you believe it? I didn't wait until the day of, convincing myself "Oh, they'll still have tickets at the door" or "The line won't be that long." I'm giving myself a (santo)gold star for planning ahead. I'm quite excited to see Ms. Santogold / Santigold / Santi White, cuz I'm still rather fresh to her music, and hoping for that surprise factor tha...

This is inspired by a beautiful spring walk amongst the blooming trees and plants, while listening to Ms. Jones sing / attack the classic "La Vie en Rose" in wonderful, late 70s disco stylee. I confess a great love for this song - the extra long intro, the whispered, breathy French, the sparsity of it that gives way to the volcanic vocals. The entire rhythm and pulse of this song build to soni...
