and this is why mog is as necessary as oxygen
When left to my own devices I normally trawl emusic for new stuff. I patiently click through and listen to a song or two of every album in the alt/punk category until I give up in frustration. That is exactly what I was doing tonight when I came across a song called “Sharks Are Fucked Up.” To my way of thinking, that had to, I mean *had to*, be a good song. But, it wasn’t. It was, in fact, a crappy song.On the other hand, it is damn near impossible getting through a night on mog without hearing something I have to have. So, this is a salute to you, my wonderful fellow moggers, for your diligent effort to fill my ipod with all kinds of awesome. And because I will have to upgrade soon, I also thank you on Steve Job’s account.Thank you:*Fistula* for Andrew Thompson’s We’re In Business, a few Alice in Wonderland songs, and a Dandi Wind song. (my husband, however, is not so much thankful as he is bewildered by my obsession with We’re In Business, heh.)*Dachmo* for the couple of Sharon Jones songs I’ve picked up.I don’t remember for Bat For Lashes. I also only dig a couple of their songs, but I dig those heavily.*Michelle* (I think?) for that Idan Rachel Project song.*Michael* for leading me to both versions of Is That All There Is?*Ngtivspace* for Vampire Weekend.*Kevin* for Dizzie Rascal.And …Out of all the songs I’ve been introduced to on mog I have two that vie for top honors:The Zookeeper's Boy – Mew, Dale got a lot of us with that one – thanks *Dale* :)I’d Rather Dance With You – Kings of Convenience, thank you *Echoes*. (I know you’re gone but thank you anyway.) Edit: Crap, I almost forgot - in the interests of mog love and me finding cool shit I missed the first time around: what is the best song you've discovered on mog? And who introduced you to it?

And "You Bring Me Down"
I wish I could find a drummer like Steven Ansell. You can find the post here: http://mog.com/Anna/blog_post/82094
