So I've posted bout these lads before... as the local Philly band Huffamoose... they had a few ALMOST hits - one was a song called James... such a brilliant song really & another I Wanna Buy You a Ring - used in an ad for J C Penneys... SERIOUSLY ;)
They called it quits a while back, but not before they became the subject of a documentary Here Comes Huffamoose that was hailed by Mr. Music Lovah Cameron Crowe hissssself as one of the best rock movies of all time.
I've been all over Clem Snide the past few days & find there are similarities between the two bands... I have my main man b to thank for this love... well, blair aka satisfiedmind2 and a blast from our MOG past - Rawkkiddo (no longer active)...
Here is a post that b wrote about Clem Snide a whiles back... Clem Snide
For some reason - up til this AM, I thought of Clem Snide as a solo guy... oops, my bad... it's not the name of a guy, it's the band's name & it's one you should be checking out NOW !!!
I'll wait - just go to the box in the upper right corner that says Find your favorite music & type Clem Snide...
You can thank me later - but really - you should direct all thank yous to Blair !!!
So, as I am swimming in the beauty that is Clem Snide, I think on Huffamoose, one of my missed local favorites & decide it's time to google them again to see what's what. I've seen one of the lead singers - Craig Elkins - perform a few times at a local restaurant/bar in Philly called NXNW so I figure, I can at least link up to what he's doing... Turns out there's more going on than I thought...
Three other members of Huffamoose are back together, going by the name of The Fractals & are working on putting out an album...
GLEEEEEEEE or as my beloved bro would say... SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!
My eyes are extra green today with the news of something new coming from a big chunk of the lads from Huffamoose.

Your mind sparks with many sonic lights this AM, mademoiselle Lizzie. Thanks for the free association. (Unless it's already done, I'll have to write something about whom new "folkists" like Devendra and his ilk should thank one of these days. -- I'm thinking Ewan MacColl among others).
PS: To type C the cedilla, on a PC using Windows press alt then type 0231. And you'll get this: ç.
My Trusted MOGs
Ewan MacColl - yes - you gotta work that post into being !!!
your PS didn't work for me... but I will figure it out - I should be able to ask plenty of people I work with - I just choose to sit in my box, listening to music & hanging out on MOGtiply... go figure ;)
My Trusted MOGs
Keep "alt" pressed and type 0231 (alt+0231), it should work. I do it all the time. Just like alt+0232 gives you "è" and alt+0233 gives you "é". The latter can be handy when you want to type Andréa or Renée ;)
My Trusted MOGs
ç There it is
let's try it again (I swear I did that before - but it didn't work)
ç You rock Bartleby !!!
I wish there was an accent for Elizabet ;)
My Trusted MOGs
Liking Huffamoose. I like the lead singer's voice.
My Trusted MOGs
That's Craig Elkins... will toss him to the wolves on the other M !!!
My Trusted MOGs
Cool, thanks my GES !
My Trusted MOGs
Got one up... working on finding the other album or two that I have...
My Trusted MOGs
Thanks. One album should be enough, to get a taste & save you time. I put the definition of GES in parentheses on my last comment but it disappeared, damn Mog! GES = green eyed sis, if you didn't figure it out Lizzie(I'm sure you did though, you're a smart cookie).
My Trusted MOGs
yeah... got the GES... still gonna put up another one for anybody else's interest - I know how you like to think we are all here for you... but sometimes there are others we cater to bro ;P
My Trusted MOGs
Just letting ya know, to save you time dear. I'm quite aware it's not all about me since I'm reminded on a daily basis somehow @= )
