And now I'm back from outer space.A pronounced 'hey' to all of my good moggers everywhere.Life happens, it really happens & then it really happens some more. Still is. This gig of mine sometimes feels like busking and it's got me on the move again. Proud to be working in the home state of so many of my idols great and small. Bruuuuuce! Kevin Smith, House (?).Let's get down to it.Tycho is an electronica artist I was introduced to by an also-talented Drum N Bass dj I work with. Tycho's lp is Sunrise Projector. I would compare it to chill Moby tracks and less kitschy (whatever) Boards of Canada. Simple, elegant, bliss-inducing beats.Mars Volta's Frances the Mute finally reached my ears and I enjoyed the indie-proggy bad-assness that filled them. BRMC's Baby 81 is really f'n good. This is a band that has found its bearings and reconnected with its namesake vibe. Ice cold bluesy motorcycle rock. Conjures up images of desert sex in leather jackets.Haven't been able to fully absorb Wilco's new one yet but I'm looking forward to doing so this week.I had free XM radio until last week (2 wks total) when they figured out the error. Ethel & Lucy are great Alt/Modern Rock channels. And speaking of radio, 88.5 in Princeton is a great little station playing tons of MOG-friendly tracks.I look forward to visiting Sopranoland, the Jersey Shore & NYC soon as well as Philly. I'm in an area with a lot to offer musically and I look forward to hearing it all.NJ moggers, say hey if you like and tell me what's really up in the Garden State.
