My favorite indie-Britrock album ever, hands down, is "Silent Alarm" by Bloc Party. It's my appropriate work soundtrack when life gets "worse than loopy" and needs the right song. The best track on there was the U.S. bonus track "Little Thoughts" [which is not only my favorite Bloc Party song but also my #3 favorite song of all time]. But another gem is from the "Little Thoughts" EP, and it's m

And... because I celebrate it [the Episcopal friend to Jews that I am!], Happy Chanukah Night #8!!Hey, I have to. I'm sorry but, if I'm gonna have the _cojones_ to play the Vince Guaraldi Trio, and it's Chanukah, then HEY!! why the heck not!?After all, Adam Sandler is the Sire of the great Chanukah Song!!Joyful, joyful Chanukah!! Now where are the darn latkes...!?~ 'Sunshine'

Usually for Old-School Origins I show off some good music I grew up with, mostly from the 80's and 90's, and maybe a song or two from 2000. But considering that Christmas is two weeks from today [yes, y'all read proper: Christmas is two weeks from today], I'm taking this OSO feature quite a bit further. Tonight I'm taking y'all back to the 60's, since I hope I have some Charlie Brown fans in the

...yes, y'all read proper. I'm doing some Old-School Origins for y'all, and I just HAD to do this one.Come on, you *know* you cannot lie...I remember hearing this song in the 2nd grade [DAMN! 2nd grade!? who knew!?], and I loved it. It was just funny as hell to me at the time. These days when I listen to it, I find myself singing along to the entire song.Yeah, I know, I'm a dork. But hey! I li

Heylo fellow MOGgers. Sorry I haven't been around lately--mostly it's been because I've worked a bit too hard for my own good.Not my fault. Or maybe. Not sure.But anyway, a couple of weeks ago I featured on the Intelligence area the song "International Dateline" by Ladytron. Well, I have found myself in a bit of a tough time between the original version and this one I'm about to spotlight on o

And now, to *finally* close out the Indie Intelligence Spotlight, my favorite TMBG song of all time [and by damn one of the best songs, ever]...I don't know what's crazier--the song or the video!! No joke.This week I had the humor of the Store Manager at my job sing along with me to the lyrics. Now he's Puerto Rican, he's never heard TMBG until I played them all. Damn. Week. [Yay!] But you just

This is my #2 favorite TMBG song, ever.The first time I heard this song, it was last year, and I was listening to the "A User's Guide" best-of. I fell in love with the happy, infectious melodies. And, it was something that, nowadays I can relate to, because I have bangs! ^_^...what!?~ 'Sunshine'

All I'm saying about this song is the following...Two words: Whip. Crack.~ 'Sunshine'

Funny story about certain TMBG songs, such as this one, "Birdhouse in Your Soul" and "Don't Let's Start" [my all-time favorite TMBG song], when I first heard these songs on the radio in my small-town, I never knew who they were or who did them. All I knew is, they had some seriously good music. They knew what the hell they were doing.This was the first song I ever heard from the Giants--ahh, mem

If you ever need a song about puppets, here ya go.Damn, these guys got a song for _everything_, don't they...?~ 'Sunshine'
