For Ten Years There Was Silence. Then There Was Mog. 365 Days Later...

Posted over 4 years ago
...it's my Mogiversary!Despite being a huge music fan in my youth and 20s, there was a period of about 10 years where I listened to and bought very little music. I don't quite know why this happened, and given how much I've got back into music in the last couple of years it's all the more perplexing. As a result there are huge gaps in my knowledge of music from the 90s. If I'm truthful, there are actually huge gaps in my music knowledge generally, but I'm working on that. Mog has been an amazing source of fantastic new music for me and for filling in those gaps. More importantly, I feel like I've made friends that (even though I've never met any of you) I could look up any time I go travelling. Which I probably will. (I'm actually just getting you all used to the fact that I could possibly turn up and want to borrow your couch for a night or two. Heh-heh! Just joking. Sort of...).I was hoping that I'd be doing lots more mogging following the end of semester and my several month mog hiatus, but after being single for five years, I've met a girl recently & fallen in love, and, well, you know how it goes. "For those of you who read a recent post of mine":http://mog.com/ciphermedia/blog_post/125497 I should let you know that (a) it's a different girl and (b) she's real and not just some wishful thinking on my part this time, and way cool. The only downside is that she's going away for six months in less than a week, which is totally crap for me, but maybe a bonus for you guys, cos I'll be back around the Mog-O lots more than I have been in recent weeks.Nick Cave - (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For?(Hey C - the answer is Yes).Anyhoo, I just wanted to thank you all for being here, and making my life that much more fab. Mog On.

  2. poebegone says J, it's true you are mogging less lately and i wish it were more often, but life and love come first and i am happy to know that you are happy. it's amazing how we joined mog only two weeks apart but i never got to know you 'til some months ago (i was also telling Cody a bit of that - and August, the same goes to you). love having you here, that's one of my favoritest Nick Cave songs (and albums) up there, more fun times and mog years to come.

  3. Max Load says I didn't listen to much music in the 90's either. (Maybe there was a good reason?) Then I started playing again and only heard live music. Then I started listening at home again. These days, if I realise I haven't been listening to music for a while I take it as a sort of barometer thing. Generally I find that I've let the joy slip out of my life and need to do something to bring it back again.

  5. darmuzz says Happy One Year! August is my 90s music coach because I missed that decade as well. I think that's when adulthood hit full force with career-track job, kid, mortgage etc and no money for entertainment. Thankfully I have fully recovered!

  11. ciphermedia says Oh I'm so slack. I haven't even made time to say thanks to you all. I put it down to spending all my time with the new GF before she went away last saturday. But she's gone for some time now, so my mogging should pick up again, if not quite get back to its usual level.
