After browsing some of the pages on here I quickly am begining to understand the importance of Mog.... I've heard some rare recordings of Hendrix and been introduced to some bizarre stuff as well as some very good music I've never heard before...I'm already an addict. So please forgive me if I am more a taker than giver because all I have to offer really is my own music...truth is I am a musician that has a very small collection of other people's music, by small I mean almost non-existent...but what I can give moggers back is good karma for introducing me to all the good stuff...
Also found this picture on here of myself that I have lost...it was about 2.5 years ago and taken in my apartment where I recorded Crippled so hard. Thanks to the person that posted this....don't know how you found this.

"Into Nothing" has a good melody, arrangement and singing, and it sounds like it could become a hit. Bravo!
It seems that there is a sturdy tradition in some hard rock for long steady chords that fill up the background with sound that could be an organ or electric guitars (where the actual "strum" sound is inaudible), and whatever rhythm one hears comes only from the drums. The Ramones had that quality. In current R & B however, the background has a lot more staccato silences that syncopate the rhythm. Both styles can be great.
This track was the first to be played on a major radio station, it was played on KROQ in January 7th of this year, I remember the date because it was in the begining of the year and 7 is my lucky number. Again since SToB is self-produced and a one man band back then virtually all of the music was recorded in my apt with the exception of the drums. This song is part of a series on my comment on the state of our societies today...when I wrote it I wanted to say as much as possible in as little as possible sort of like a haiku, that is why the lyrics are sparse but also I tried telling the story within the music itself.

I think it's a story very well told. This is some great music - nice flavorings! I dig the sounds you're getting out of that axe! Sweet ending. Thanks!

Yeah, MOG can be quite overwhelming, but it sounds like you've settled into a good groove! Glad to have you here.
just wait, it gets worse
Dude:
You have no idea.
I love music, and I love to write. I'd been trying to develop something like this on my own via WordPress or TypePad, but it just took too much coding to really be bothered.
(I have some coding skills, but nothing near what it would have required to get something like the feature set here.)
I've had projects to finish, and instead ended up Mogging.
I've run off, like, five posts in 22 minutes. (Most recently, earlier this week.)
I've been late for appointments.
I think the creme for me was when Kate (above) posted, knowledgeably and cogently, about Osibisa. I was like WTF?
?!
Once I saw that, then it confirmed for me how important this is, not just to and for me, but for so many others that love so much music besides what we're spoonfed by executives that don't know jack about music.
Anyway, welcome to Mog, and thanks for joining The SSE.
P&L, Soultronica
