Hey there, You may have seen Jenny's MOG post about the new Roommate album? I thought I'd post one of the songs she mentioned in her review--this is a MOG exclusive! I am especially proud of this song. Even if you think you're not into it, I would recommend sticking with it so you can hear the guitar solo by Jeff Thomas (of Chicago's amazing circus-punk band Mucca Pazza)--it is really something else, as my grandmother might say. I'm off to the Netherlands tonight f... MORE

If you haven't met Kent Lambert yet, you've missed one of the good guys on MOG. Here's a review of his latest album, We Were Enchanted, which is up today on PopMatters. Roommate, We Were Enchanted (Plug Research)Kent Lambert’s first EP, the self-released Celebs, landed in my review pile six years ago, a delicate, somewhat ephemeral first effort embellished with the simplest keyboards and electronic sounds (I called it “sweet but whisper-thin"). His next, Songs the Anima... MORE

Last May I posted a song that I'd performed live on Austin's KVRX and described the album version that was in the works... Today I'm pleased to post that album version for your listening pleasure. This is track 3 from our new record We Were Enchanted coming at you. The track features the guitar stylings of Justin Petertil--he is in my top 10 trustees and made a really nice album of his own last year in addition to an amazing sound project simulating the experience of tra...

[Luther Rochester plays analog synths and xylophone in Roommate. He used to play in Low Skies. He is a consummate smart-ass.]

Now that there's freedom in Iraq, and they're our democratic cousins,
let's let 'em in on a little ~spooky~ Hallow's Eve cheer!
Afghanistan can come too!

(This a LONG post, and it's largely about politics, but it does relate to music--bear with me, I hope you'll find it to be worth your time...) Is anybody else feeling freaked out about the detainee bill that Congress passed last week? In short, the bill legalizes the kind of torture that took place at Abu Ghraib, it allows the government to conduct surveillance without a warrant, and as this article points out, it significantly expands the definition of "enemy combatant"...
