Attention moggers, the state of Minnesota currently needs your help in the finding of fellow mogger Rawkkiddoh. He was last seen coming home today from work, and after that his where abouts remain a mystery. He was last seen wearing a tee-shirt, grey shorts and tan flip flops. Rawkkiddoh is 5'10", has brown hair, brown eyes and seems to be drawn to any sort of store that sells music. Here is a recent picture of Rawkkiddoh. From what we have heard from police, Rawkkiddo...

Today I was going to head out to my first live show in months. It may have even been a year, I am not really sure. I guess the reason for my departure from live shows has been a direct result of having a young boy at home. A lot of things have been put on the shelf as of late, and heading out to see live music seems to have really taken a hit. Tonight Alkaline Trio was playing a free show, a free show with the Enjoi skate team in tow. I was more than excited about seeing t... MORE

So here is starts my moaning about the weather... ok today isn't all that bad, it's just that I know I have a couple of months of sweat ahead of me, constant brow wiping, consumption of water and these days I can also look forward to a couple of months of constant explaining the reality of vomit inducing headaches caused by Air Conditioning Units along with their faint chemical smell is poison to me...So for today I give you my songs with the word poison in them list.......

It is Sunday night and for the first time in a long time I have no school work to do. This is a big event for me, usually my Sunday nights are busy with correcting papers, lesson planning and filling out my weekly progress reports. This Sunday is different and I know tomorrow morning I will not have to wake up at my usual time in order to go into work. I spent my Sunday night catching up on music, and of course catching up on MOG. Like I said before, this almost feels new ... MORE

Some might say (& trust me, they do) that I have a bit of a music problem. My fellow Moggers will understand that I just love music!   I consider myself a collector. I cannot & will not purchase music from iTunes unless an album is physically unable to be purchased elsewhere. I need my tangible evidence; liner notes, pictures, CD case, track list, etc. Plus, I think my large wall of 1,500+ CDs is quite beautiful!   New music this week:    Band of Horses - Cease to Be...

Good tune, just heard about these guys less than a day ago! please Enjoy!

Acoustic Ashmooostic

... Sorry, but this was anything but an acoustic day for me... I needed something with a jolt... lizziegreeneyes thinks we need to rethink acoustic Mondays... swap with punk Tuesdays, if only for the fact that Mondays are a beehatch. She also thinks she should never speak of herself in the third person again, that's what lizziegreeneyes thinks ;P I had to mainline my caffeine to get any effects this morning. Then I realized (after my brain came ... MORE

So, I had the craziest fucking birthday ever yesterday. And I got a tattoo! And I'm going to see Cursive and Against Me! this saturday. And I haven't really heard any new music lately, but I'm going to pick up the new Sage Francis album today so I'll update on that in a couple days. Here's a picture from my birthday:

Long and boring day. Somehow this song fit, either it was because its so great and somewhat unnoticed or because it finished my day in general.

A mix for today! OR whatever comes up on my iPod Shuffle. Alkaline Trio - Good-Fucking-Bye The Clash - Death or Glory Modest Mouse - It's All Nice On Ice/ Styrofoam Boots Arcade Fire - Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels) The Decemberists - Of Angels and Angles Jets To Brazil - King Medicine The Hold Steady - Stuck Between Stations The Shins - Those To Come Blink 182 (featuring Robert Smith) - All of This Dead Prez - Hip Hop Two Gallants - Steady Rollin' The Faces - Ooh La La

Wife and I have found both Phil Collins (...Hits) AND the Alkaline Trio (Remains) to be excellently motivating cleaning music today ... Discuss.

i'm in one of those moods where i just want to listen to poor little emo punk kids sing about getting their hearts ripped out. acoustic? even better. it brings me some sort of solace knowing that my heart is still intact... call me selfish, i guess.
